A sweater is a knitted item for the upper body without buckles. It is characterized by the presence of long sleeves and a high two-or three-layer collar.
In everyday life, pullovers and sweaters are ranked among them, although they do not have a high collar. It is in this broad context that sweaters will be considered in this article.
Types and types of strips
There are so many kinds of stripes that sometimes it is not clear whether the “zebra” is either black with a white strip or white with a black strip. They differ in direction (horizontal, vertical and diagonal), color combination (two-color and multi-color), width (narrow and wide).
The combination of different types creates a variety of types: from the classic "vest" to the colorful district of stripes of various widths and shapes.
This year, thin strips of delicate colors and their various combinations are in fashion.
Tips for choosing
Striped sweater can be the best friend for any woman, because in it you can look bright and elegant at the same time. It will help to highlight the advantages of the figure or hide the flaws, but for this you need to follow a few rules when choosing a model.
Vertical, especially thin strip is ideal for girls of low or with curvaceous, because it visually pulls and slims. They also do not recommend horizontal stripes, since you will appear lower and wider, but they look good on thin and tall ones.
In addition, with their help, you can make accents on the chest, waist or hips, so they are good for those who have an expressionless figure.
It is important to consider not only the direction of the bands, but also their width and color. The bright broad band on the chest will visually enlarge it, the dark one, on the contrary, will mask the problem areas, and the slanting lines will emphasize the elegant waist.
Owners of slender bodies can afford the most courageous experiments with linear drawings of various types.
What to wear?
Striped sweaters are truly universal, because they can be made an attribute of both casual and business attire. It is best to combine them with pants, jeans, mini skirt and pencil skirt or shorts. Jacket can be worn over the sweater and pullover. The best part is that the image can be completed with any kind of shoes, starting with shoes, ending with high-heeled shoes.
Striped sweaters diversify any wardrobe, the main thing is to remember one important rule: all other clothes, shoes and accessories must be used in one color. And their colors should be the more neutral, the brighter the top.
