The knitted sweater so firmly and confidently takes place in a modern wardrobe that it is even difficult to imagine that it was once a clothing exclusively for fishermen. Sweaters were woven from warm yarn and intended to protect anglers from piercing wind and cold. Since that far away, the sweater has changed a lot in appearance, its model range has expanded considerably. One of the trends of the new season is a shortened model of a knitted sweater.
Features
A cropped knitted sweater can be very conditionally classified as “cropped top”, that is, cropped clothing that opens the belly.
Such clothing looks especially impressive on girls with a taut figure, a thin waist and a flat stomach. This mainly applies to models of fine yarn, designed for the warm season.
A cropped sweater is used on its own or in combination with other clothing that fits best, otherwise the outfit will look overly volumetric and, to some extent, sloppy.
Who can not wear a short sweater?
The shortened model looks great on girls with chiseled figure. Such sweaters “cut” the figure horizontally, opening the belly and waist, so for girls with overweight this style will not look very harmonious.
Nevertheless, ladies with curvaceous can also find a suitable model for themselves. Just a sweater will not be worn on a naked body, and combined with other clothes.
Layering remains in fashion, so a stylish set of a tunic or an elongated blouse, short sweater and tight-fitting trousers, leggings or leggings will look very stylish and harmonious on women of any body size!
Stylists do not recommend choosing short models for tall girls. In this case, the figure looks somewhat disproportionate.
Models
The range of cropped sweaters includes several basic styles:
- Classical. An ordinary sweater with a high neck and long sleeves.
- Wide sweater. The volumetric model, which from the side looks somewhat stretched and inappropriate to the size of the owner.
- Model of asymmetrical cut. As a rule, it is a long back and a short front sweater.
Sweaters can have different lengths of sleeves, shortened versions, for example, ¾, are especially relevant. The sweater can have a straight or slightly fitted fit. The hem can be free or assembled with a rubber band or cuff. The shape of the gate can also be different - from a high pipe to a cut in the form of a boat, a round or V-shaped neck.
Color and print
A cropped sweater is a very bright accent in any image, regardless of whether it is worn as an independent element or in combination with other clothes. Therefore, the color of the model itself does not have to be bright and flashy.
Classic and pastel colors are in fashion: black, white, light gray, blue, sandy, grassy, cream, pale pink. Look good and deeper, rich shades - plum, brick, golden brown.
As for prints, floral motifs never go out of fashion. It can be bright, small flowers, scattered around the canvas sweaters or large buds, made in a blurry pastel colors.
Another popular print are animalistic motifs. As a rule, these are small animal silhouettes adorning the sweater.
Connoisseurs of the classics can opt for traditional geometry - peas, rhombuses, squares, strip.
How to wear?
The most popular images are combined, based on the principle of layering.This means that a short sweater can be worn not only as an independent element, but also in combination with shirts, turtlenecks, blouses, T-shirts and other clothes. The combination of clothes of different lengths and colors allows you to visually correct the figure flaws, so women of all body types can afford such sets without fear that they will not look stylish enough and fashionable.
In addition, layering is one of the trends of youth fashion. Therefore, a short knitted sweater can be combined with almost any base - top, T-shirt, T-shirt, body, dress, sundress, etc.
Another important rule when choosing a suitable ensemble of clothes for a shortened model is color compatibility. Things can be matched in one color or on the contrary - be contrasted in color.
Another interesting combination option: T-shirt + skinny + sweater. All things should be selected in different shades of pastel colors, for example, light blue, cream and light beige. This outfit will look very tender and feminine.
If a sweater is worn on a naked body, but you don’t really want to open your stomach and waist, the use of trousers or a skirt with a high waist will be an excellent way out. This kit looks very fashionable and impressive. Sweater can be tucked into pants and emphasize the waist with a leather strap or a wide beautiful belt.
To combine with a dress, it is best to choose wide, voluminous models of sweaters that differ from the color of the dress in a couple of shades. Such kits look especially elegant and feminine.

A bright, large print will draw attention to the image and make it more stylish.
To create elegant, romantic images, it is best to use sweaters of unusual cut, for example, asymmetrical, with an open shoulder or a boat neckline. Openwork sweaters are perfectly combined with elegant dresses or beautiful blouses.
