The fact that everything new is well-forgotten old was once again confirmed by the couturiers, who brought knitwear from the end of the last century to the catwalk. Let’s talk a little more about what’s new in 80s clothing.
Fashion trends in 2019
It is difficult to call what was presented at the latest fashion house shows absolutely new; rather, these are variations on the theme of the good old knitwear. But so that your image doesn’t smell like mothballs, you should pay attention to some nuances and place the right accents.
Among the new trends this season are the following:
- handmade items, especially coarse knitted items;
- oversized size and masculine elements in a suit;
- jacquard and intarsia techniques;
- bright color combinations;
- shoulder pads;
- unusual sleeves, not only long and voluminous, but also decorated with unusual details for knitwear;
- decorations in the form of beads, rhinestones or many brooches, in a word, the more decorations and the more unusual places chosen for them, the better.
- Pay attention to fluffy mohair - this is the trend of the season.
Asymmetry
Dresses with an asymmetrical hem, top, and print are not only a knitwear trend, but in this design they look extremely bright. An asymmetrical hemline works best on midi dresses just above the knee or ankle-length maxi dresses.. Overlapping details, inserted elements or just an oblique cut - a stunning look is guaranteed.
An interesting effect is achieved by “shifting” a large geometric detail of the design, which appears to be cut lengthwise. Large but smooth knitting, natural tones, geometric prints - all these fashionable features look great on such dresses.
Wide stripe
A horizontally located colored stripe is trendy this season; it can only be vertical in a knitted texture. Almost any color scheme is welcome, the main thing is that the colors match each other. A striped dress can be of any length, straight or fitted.
Important! The mini requires special care when choosing a model, since the horizontal stripe visually expands the figure.
With patterns
The already mentioned jacquard and large geometry using the intersea technique are the main patterns of this season. Made in a palette of natural shades, they will emphasize the femininity and fragility of the figure, despite the masculinity of the decor itself. This technique is dictated by the emerging fashion for handmade goods from knitted “waste”.
Deliberate negligence becomes natural, and therefore more natural and universal images are created. Such patterns can be on dresses of any length and cut, you just need to think carefully about where to wear them.
Knitted texture
This season is dominated by large loose knits and voluminous patterns, which fit into a casual and free style and are preferable for winter clothing and for the off-season.
Such decor looks interesting in long dresses of various silhouettes, made in the same color. For summer clothes, light, thin weaving, patterns of flowers and curls are offered, the choice of styles and decorations is therefore significantly expanding. It will look good in this design and different lengths.
Open shoulders
An off-the-shoulder or one-shoulder dress is traditionally considered one of the most feminine models. Such knitwear clothes can be short or long, but it is better to choose a fitted silhouette.
Ruffles
Since sleeves have become the focus of designers' attention, they are primarily decorated with frills and ruffles. However, the hem of the dress, decorated with such a detail, will add femininity and elegance to the image.
Yoke at the hem
The fashionable innovation of the season is a yoke at the hem. It can be made of fabric or knitwear of a different texture, its main purpose is to create the effect of a double skirt. Dresses of any length and silhouette will look quite harmonious with such a yoke, if the image matches the style you have chosen.
Volumetric
The oversized size is quite applicable to dresses. With the right shoes and accessories, this model will not look baggy, but will emphasize the grace of the female figure. It is also worth paying attention to the voluminous details with which fashion designers adorned their knitwear collections in abundance: pockets, collars and sleeves will give your suit individuality.
Sweater dress
Ultraminis are at the peak of popularity this season, which is why sweater dresses have so organically come back into fashion. A fashionable outfit should be in neutral colors and have a loose fit., which will create the impression of fragility of the figure. A belt will help highlight your waistline. It can be worn either solo or with tight trousers or skinny pants.
Tight-fitting
A knitted dress that fits your figure is the object of desire for any woman. Long and short, of different textures, with or without a pattern - they look equally stylish and modern. We advise you to pay special attention to the favorite of the season - midi length.
Important! Modern designers present models that can be easily combined with cardigans and jackets, so some restrictions for ladies with non-ideal shapes can be eliminated.
With a throat
Any woman can choose this version of the dress for herself, as it is the most democratic model. Any length and any silhouette is allowed, the main thing is that the color and texture of the material be trendy. Don’t forget about accessories - such brevity without support can turn out to be boring.
Winter and knitted knitted dresses
In a warm knitted outfit you can look strict and stylish. Fashion designers offer fine knit dresses in nude shades, below the knee length, for office looks. Complete the ensemble with heels and a thin belt at the waist - and the look is ready.
For everyday wear, it is worth considering options for dresses with different collars, for example, cowl or golf, in natural colors, midi or mini length. This outfit will go perfectly with long boots or over the knee boots, a coat or fur coat.
Important! A maxi dress with a collar will look too closed, and an open top will be impractical in cold winter. If you choose the option with slits, then do not forget to wear dark tight tights.
Demi-season dresses
Warmer weather means a wider selection of models. Office-style dresses may be made of thinner material, the neckline may be more open, and the length will be slightly shorter. Choose a smooth texture and calm colors. Long boots are replaced by ankle boots or shoes, and a fur coat is replaced by a light coat or raincoat.
For every day, you can wear a dress of any length and texture, in brighter colors, with or without prints. Complement it with a fur vest or leather jacket; hats and light scarves would be most appropriate here as accessories.
Summer knitwear
As always, restraint and elegance are valued in office attire, so It is better to choose natural colors in a calm palette, and the texture of the material is preferably smooth or with a faint relief pattern in the form of vertical weaves. Classic midi length, fitted silhouette.
Open shoulders and back, mini and midi lengths, ruffles and frills, flowers and polka dots - all these fashionable details are fully manifested in summer outfits. For a romantic look, floor-length openwork dresses will become indispensable. The color range of natural shades is expanded with neon colors, which gives scope for fashionable experiments.
Knitted dresses for plus size
Ladies with curvy figures can afford to wear knitted dresses. You just need to slightly adjust the features of your figure with the help of little feminine tricks:
- be sure to use shapewear underwear to keep your curves toned;
- Take into account the individual characteristics of your figure when purchasing a knitted dress.
As for the looks, plump ladies are not forbidden to wear warm knitted dresses with ankle boots or over the knee boots, if they are mini.For a walk around the city, a sweater dress in dark or pastel colors, complemented by colored matte tights, is quite suitable.
If you complement the loose knitted A-line model with a leather vest, you will get a very stylish look that can be used even in the office, if the dress code allows.
