A logsleeve is often confused with a sweatshirt, but in reality they are completely different things. They are similar in that they both have long sleeves and a crew neckline. The third common feature: the degree of fit. With the correct size selection, both clothes fit loosely, but do not dangle.
The last similarity: length. Both wardrobe items in their traditional embodiment do not reach the junction of the torso and legs. At this point the general characteristics end.
What is longsleeve?
This is nothing more than a long-sleeved T-shirt. It is thinner than a sweatshirt, which is usually made of dense, often insulated with three-thread or fleece, knitwear. It has fewer features and details from the sweatshirt. The classic women's long sleeve does not require complex cut elements at all.. There are no cuffs, no elastic band or strap, no zipper or pocket. The edge of the bottom is simply hemmed, like turtlenecks or T-shirts.
Important! Initially, the long sleeve was men's underwear.
Usually, the only decoration of such a wardrobe item is a drawing. This can be a centered large image or a repeating pattern. It is possible to play with shades: the manufacturer, using the color division of the sleeves and the general part of the sweater, shows that the logsleeve is nothing more than a modified T-shirt.
Important! Things that have a pattern or inscription on the outside of the sleeve look interesting.
Deviations from the canon occur. So, you can buy a product with a y-shaped neckline, with shortened (3/4) and double sleeves, as well as intentionally tightly fitting ones (the reason for this is not the wrong size, but the original fit of the item).
What style does it suit?
Acceptable directions:
- sport;
- smart casual;
- minimalism;
- informal;
- marine (only if there is a strip);
- oversized;
- garcon;
- grunge;
- eclecticism;
- military
What to combine it with?
Logsliv, due to the simplicity of its form, can become a canvas. If the manufacturer has already decorated it in an unusual way, then you should choose simple pants or jeans to go with it. The final image will be interesting and without complex combinations.
A monochromatic model can be easily “refreshed” with a sweatshirt, bomber jacket or a printed shirt. There is no need to fasten them. For the bottom, choose jeans.
Based on the pattern, you can choose the style. With stripes, wear white and black trousers, which are included in the sailor uniform, as well as skirts typical for this trend. Well, the double sleeve has long been the prerogative of informals and rockers. In this case, a short black wool jacket, a biker jacket and a leather vest will come in handy. The bottom in this direction can have many variations, starting with fishnet tights and provocative minis and ending with sloppy-looking baggy jeans.
It’s worth trying to take the whims of fashion as a guide. So, layering is trending, which can be played up by wearing 2 contrasting long sleeves of different lengths. Let one peek out from under the other. A regular T-shirt will also work for these purposes.
You can also use colors as a guide. The sandy or protective shade of the jacket refers to the military theme. Wear military-style pants and timberlakes with this item, you will definitely look interesting.
Important! If you throw a jacket or blazer over a plain long sleeve, the variations of the bottom will become endless.
If the proposed options seem too radical and you want something more ordinary, buy wide fabric shorts just above the knee or mini shorts (white, black, denim). Add socks, sneakers and a backpack. The image is complete. On cold days, turn to fabric dark blue tapered trousers, denim overalls or denim boyfriends - a simple but always win-win solution.
Important! A tucked-in long sleeve suits perfectly with skirts that emphasize the waist with their style. In this ensemble, such a jacket will look no worse than a turtleneck.
