Fashion in recent years has rediscovered the beauty of simple things. This is about a sweatshirt - a stylish thing that can be used in different ensembles!
Model features
The main property of the sweatshirt is its extraordinary convenience and comfort to wear.
INTERESTING! The very origin of the item was a consequence of concern for convenience: an American manufacturer of underwear decided to create sportswear for his son that was both warm and light. The comic name “sweater for sports” soon stuck with it.
Fashionistas (and fashionistas!) are renowned for their ability to enrich their wardrobes with specially designed pieces. They mastered this by the middle of the twentieth century, and the “sports sweater” is not only comfortable, but also elegant. The comfort of wearing something made of soft fabric is another definite plus.
The classic cut of the sweatshirt is loose; the mandatory elements are a knitted belt and cuffs, a raglan sleeve and a characteristic triangle under the collar.The latter previously had a utilitarian function (to absorb sweat), now it only has a decorative function.
Designers, having conjured their magic, have created many models of a simple thing. In addition to the traditional plain ones (they are becoming increasingly rare), modern dudes have options with all kinds of prints, shortened and elongated, combined (knitwear + artificial leather). The imagination of fashion designers is also limited in the choice of decorative elements: beads and chains, sequins and embroidery allow you to do without additional decorations.
What to wear with a sweatshirt for a woman
Traditionally, a “sweater” is considered to belong to the casual style, and the most successful combinations are with things of a similar style. Transitions towards a sporty style (with sneakers) and classics (with high-heeled shoes) are possible. The young and daring wear such a sweater with a tutu skirt, but this is a privilege of youth. The rest of us have many options for successful combinations even without such frills!
ADVICE! Having given preference to minimalist models, it is easy to combine things by color and style. Printed options are more difficult - you will need a more moderate bottom.
Trousers
A duet with trousers is always a win-win - classic straight cut and tight, skinny-style, short and wide. A separate question: should I tuck it in or leave it over my trousers? Do as your desire and sense of style dictates!
There is no doubt about jeans of all models. We will select shoes depending on the model of trousers and the choice of image - feminine or sporty. A backpack or a handbag on a chain - a fashionable look is ready!
IMPORTANT! Consider the features of the silhouette when choosing the length of the sweater. The mid-thigh classic suits everyone. With shortened-extended options it is more difficult.
Those with long, slender legs will appreciate the possibilities of an ensemble with shorts of all models - leather and denim, checkered and striped. Sneakers, ankle boots, high boots, ballet flats - the choice of shoes is limited only by your imagination!
Skirt
A separate opportunity to show off your dressing skills is to create an ensemble with a skirt:
- A mini skirt option is a win-win with a sweatshirt. Need a smart look? We put on a skirt made of airy lace, stiletto heels, and select an elegant clutch.
- A midi skirt can be straight or flared - it will help emphasize the femininity of the figure. Your favorite floor-length skirt (chiffon, pleated) looks especially stylish with a “sports sweater.”
- Having played on the contrast of cuts and styles, we get a stunning look with a pencil skirt: for the office - neutral colors (gray, beige, black); for a party - from elegant fabrics with bright colors. Beads and sequins are appropriate.
IMPORTANT! You can't do without high-heeled shoes here!
"Top"
A separate way to successfully combine is to match the sweatshirt with a shirt, white or with a pattern. The collar and hem pulled up from under the sweater will create some fashionable casualness, especially appropriate in an informal setting.
What to wear with a sweatshirt for a man
And men have no less opportunities to look elegant in things borrowed from athletes!
The classic gray model will fit into any look: jeans and trousers, sneakers and rough boots, T-shirts and shirts go perfectly with a gray sweatshirt!
ADVICE! By acquiring a dark blue sweatshirt, you can dress for all occasions.
When choosing clothes to go with a sweater, you can wear an “inconspicuous” T-shirt with a round neckline. When choosing an ensemble with a shirt, consider:
- a collar sticking out is usually not expected.Oxford shirts are comfortable - soft button fastening
- the collar will not distract during the day. For a party, you can deviate from the strict rule by letting both the collar and shirt tails come out.
IMPORTANT! The sweatshirt does not go well with ties, suit shirts and business shoes. Make way for blazers and informal jackets!
Pants come in a variety of colors, materials and styles: black chinos and olive cargo, black skinny jeans or straight blue jeans. For footwear, sneakers and leather boots are appropriate, and for outerwear, bomber jackets and coats.
It’s not without reason that the sweatshirt has been “registered” in men’s and women’s wardrobes for a long time. You can buy different versions of it, without doubt: it will be convenient in the bustle of the city!
