This season, voluminous items are at the peak of popularity. And what was previously not customary to wear is now increasingly winning the hearts and closets of girls.
Let's try to understand this diversity.
- A model made from bulky yarn or with large patterns is one of the most common. It perfectly fulfills its main function - it warms the hostess and at the same time emphasizes her individuality. When choosing this style, it is better to give preference to brighter colors.This model is contraindicated for ladies with curvy figures, as it visually adds a couple of extra pounds.
- With a cowl collar. The collar adds its own twist to an ordinary look and serves as an alternative to accessories.
- With a turtleneck collar. Ideal for cold weather. A collar can replace a scarf, but this style is not suitable for girls with large breasts.
- With voluminous sleeves. This model looks very feminine. It hides figure imperfections and adds volume to shapes.
- With V-neck. This neckline favorably emphasizes curvy shapes and visually elongates the figure.
- The elongated model can be worn under leggings, skinny trousers or as a dress.
- With short sleeves or 3/4 sleeves. This style allows you to create layers in clothing. It’s enough to wear a shirt, turtleneck underneath, or simply use oversized gloves as an accessory, and the look will look new every time.
Now let's figure out what to wear with all these models.
How to Wear an Oversized Sweater
At first glance, a voluminous, shapeless sweater seems dull and old-fashioned. But knowing a few simple rules, you can turn it into a stylish, bright and trendy thing.
- The main rule: fluffy top - tight-fitting bottom. That is, voluminous models need to be combined with tight-fitting pants or skirts. In this case, the beauty and elegance of the legs is emphasized and a delicate feminine image is formed.
- For girls of short stature, it is better to avoid models with large knits and carefully select the length, since wide and voluminous items visually steal their height.
- It is more appropriate to combine a bright sweater with clothes of more restrained colors.
- For older women, it is preferable to stick to calm colors and smaller knits.
- Those with curvy figures should not wear things that are too voluminous; they will visually add even more volume to the figure.
Now more about the various combinations.
Combine with a pencil skirt
A voluminous sweater combined with a pencil skirt is a great combination for office work or business meetings. Moreover, it can be either bright or pastel colors. Add high-heeled pumps or ankle boots to this ensemble for a comfortable yet formal look.
A flared skirt is also suitable
A flared skirt just above the knees is an excellent companion for a chunky knit item. Voluminous sleeves will add even more femininity. There is no need to choose an elongated model; a length just below the waist will be enough. Complement this look with heels and accessories. In this outfit you can go for a walk, to the cinema, or shopping.
A floor-length skirt and a voluminous sweater are a great pair
Although, at first glance, it’s hard to believe, a long skirt and a voluminous sweater are quite capable of creating an elegant ensemble. Skirts made of flowing thin fabric with a hip-length sweater look chic. In this version, be sure to complement the look with a belt or thin belt. You can casually tuck the front of your sweater into the front of your skirt.
Pants are an integral part of every girl's wardrobe
Of course, a voluminous sweater with pants is a win-win option. Paired with classic trousers, you can let the bottom and cuffs of the shirt out from under it. Narrow short trousers will look quite good with a cowl collar. Shoes with heels will visually elongate the figure, and the strap will emphasize the waistline.
The most daring fashionistas can even afford to tuck a voluminous sweater inside their trousers. For such experiments, we select trousers with wide hips and tapered ones.
One of the most common sweater partners is jeans.. This outfit is comfortable and can be worn every day, the main thing is to choose the right jeans. Options are available with skinny skinny jeans or distressed jeans with rolled-up legs. The main thing is not to overload the figure with large volumes.
What accessories to wear with a voluminous sweater
A voluminous sweater in itself creates a free style, so there is no need to overload the outfit with accessories. But you shouldn’t completely abandon them. A belt or belt will help to emphasize the waistline. Long gloves will add elegance to a sweater with voluminous patterns and 3/4 sleeves. To create a more elegant look, you can use a necklace and long earrings. And, of course, scarves. They can complement any look. Throw one end of a long scarf over your shoulder over your outfit, and tie it with a thin strap. Add skinny trousers or jeans, high-heeled boots and a stylish and comfortable look is ready.
Choosing a hat to match a voluminous sweater
You should not choose hats of the same color as your sweater, so as not to merge into one big spot. For bright models, hats in neutral tones are suitable.
IMPORTANT!
The more complex and colorful the sweater style, the simpler the headdress should be.
The same rule applies when choosing textures. That is, if you are wearing a voluminous knitted product, then wearing a knitted hat is inappropriate; it is better to give preference to felt hats.
