Nowadays, a cardigan is present in the wardrobe of almost every woman, which is not surprising, because it is so versatile!
Variety of cardigans
There is a huge selection of cardigans: various shapes, with and without fasteners, with buttons and zippers, knitted, knitted, denim, oversize and with a variety of names.
There are so many styles! Classic, casual, dressy looks. Models come with or without sleeves, bright colorful or completely discreet. They differ from each other in shape, color, texture, details, but they all have the same purpose - to be as comfortable as possible and to decorate the wardrobe. The range is amazing in its width and you can choose the appropriate option for any season.
By manufacturing method
There are 2 main types: knitted and knitted.
The first ones are usually more comfortable and practical. They are produced by hand and machine. The model, most often, is extended to the middle of the thigh with buttons or a belt and is intended for dry weather in the cool season; it is not suitable for hot summer.
The range of knitted women's products is no less. They are more often knitted and come in a shortened and strict type. Ideal for warm autumn and spring or cool summer.
By material composition and season
For each season you can choose your own material. For example, universal knitted sweaters. They seem designed for casual street style. Suitable for daily walks around the city, outings to the movies and shopping trips.
Fluffy cardigans. This is the type that suits you if you want to stand out from the crowd, emphasize your extravagance and originality. Colors can be either calm or iridescently bright.
"Lalo" (photo) - the most popular type of knitted cardigans, in which you feel incredibly cozy and comfortable, and on cool days the soft fabric keeps you from freezing! A nice bonus is that this option is suitable for any body type.
Linen cardigan - an excellent option for the warm season, because linen breathes well and gives coolness.
By model
An undeniable hit is everyone's favorite oversize. Such models are suitable for both fragile girls and those with curvy figures. They hide all the shortcomings and are guided by the principle of “simplicity and comfort.”
IMPORTANT! “Correctly sizeless” clothes are considered to be those that are 2-3 sizes larger than standard ones. If the difference is only one size, then the whole look will look failed!
Another trend is the “bat”. It also gives space and freedom of body movement, hides small errors and goes well with dresses and shirts of a men's cut.
A short, tight cardigan is more representative of a classic style. No street elements, forget about sneakers.With it it is much more appropriate to wear beautiful heels, a dress and elegant skirts of different styles.
An extraordinary solution can be a voluminous hood, which is guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd.
Sleeveless/sleeveless
Cardigan vests are not uncommon now. They also come in completely different cuts and colors. Most often they serve a decorative function rather than to keep them warm. Models without sleeves, but with a collar, look very impressive.
By clasp
The classic version is a tight-fitting jacket with discreet small buttons to match the material, but the option without buttons is increasingly gaining popularity.
Open cardigans have no fasteners or hooks. This option hides fullness well.
Sweatshirts with zippers - a sportier option, often replacing a jacket.
Men's cardigans
The cardigan is such a universal thing that it is also well suited for men, and if you look into history, you will find out that the first copies were sewn specifically for them. Men who prefer classic or casual style have a huge choice.
Sweatshirts can imitate a shirt or jacket with two rows of buttons and more casual models with a zipper. Elongated men's knitted jackets look very stylish.
IMPORTANT! Men's cardigans can be combined in very different ways, worn with shirts and T-shirts, but they are never tucked into trousers! This can ruin the whole look.
