Modern fashion and the professionalism of clothing designers allow you to look new every day and always be attractive. Even an ordinary jacket in their skillful hands acquired many varieties.
Among the most popular products are long sleeve and sweatshirt, casual wear that young people never part with.
Older people also appreciated the comfort and convenience that these products provide.
Despite the fact that these styles are similar, they are independent models.
The difference will become clear if we understand what is unique and different between each of them.
What is long sleeve
Reference. The name Long sleeve immediately draws attention to the characteristic feature of the clothing - its long sleeves.
Description and originality
A long sleeve is often called a T-shirt. And there is no big mistake in this. But not every T-shirt can be given such a name.
Characteristic features of the model:
- long sleeve;
- lack of clasp;
- made from not very dense knitwear.
- Using a special cut of the product.Long sleeves can be tight, straight (but not loose!) or fitted.
- Variety of colors. In addition to plain types, T-shirts are currently made with various prints (geometric, floral, etc.).
Purpose
Initially, these types of clothing were used as part of a tracksuit. They are very comfortable during training and do not restrict movement.
Longsleeves of different colors were adopted by sports teams. Completed with logos bearing their name, they turned into more than just clothing for athletes. Fans forced manufacturers to increase the production of such T-shirts.
But very quickly they began to be used not only on the sports field. They are used with pleasure in everyday situations.
Men and women combine long sleeves with jeans and classic trousers, and ladies, in addition, wear skirts with this top: straight, tapered or flared.
Thanks to its softness and elasticity, longsleeve is comfortable to wear under a jacket, jumper, vest.
Homewear (pajamas, suits) is also incomplete without such a T-shirt.
What is a sweatshirt
The name of other clothes also comes from the English language.
Reference: the name Sweatshirt indicates that the model is based on two things at once - a sweater and a shirt.
Description and originality
So, a sweatshirt is a special type of sweater. It differs from the classic product in that the sweatshirt is not knitted from wool yarn.
There are other characteristic features of the model.
- Thick knitwear, fleece is the main material from which the products are made.
- The clothes have a loose fit.
- Other features of the cut are the frequent use of a special sleeve - raglan, elastic instead of cuffs on the sleeves and along the bottom edge of the sweater.
- Many models have additional elements: a hood, an original pocket, which gave it another name - kangaroo (kangaroo).
Purpose
The main use of a sweatshirt is sports activities, active recreation outdoors in the cool season.
Young people wear them not only during training. Walks, lectures, meetings with friends are also considered situations where these sweaters are quite appropriate.
Like long sleeves, sweatshirts today come in a wide variety of colors. Prints, logos, and names of sports teams have become a common design for sweaters.
The difference between the two types of sweaters
Let us summarize by noting characteristic features of each product.
• Sweatshirts are always looser than long sleeves.
• T-shirts have a wider range of applications.
• Sports jerseys have a special detail - a mesh triangle on the front. At first, the element had a functional purpose: it was used to absorb sweat. Today, on most models this detail has become decorative.
