According to Wikipedia, a sweater is a piece of knitted clothing for the upper part of the body without clasps, with long sleeves and a characteristic high two- or three-layer collar that fits the neck.

. In many ways, everyday use has become more familiar, in which this term is also understood as all kinds of pullovers and jumpers with various neck shapes without a collar, and sometimes even without sleeves. This article will discuss what and how to wear a sweater in this very broad sense.

How to wear different models of sweaters?

Warm and cozy, practical and irresistible, cute and bold, indispensable in the winter season, the sweater has long ceased to be considered a find from the "grandmother's" chest.

Modern fashion offers a huge variety of models of sweaters and jumpers: from classic to trendy.

It is only necessary to figure out how to combine this knitted attribute of the wardrobe of any fashionista with the rest of the things, and he will definitely take a worthy place in any closet. You can beat your favorite sweater in a variety of outfits, its combinatorics is largely determined by the style, color, length, texture and type of material from which it is made.

Among the variety of models, there are 3 main types that are almost out of fashion:

voluminous sweater (oversized sweater);

an elongated sweater (sweater dress or tunic);

short sweater.

Each of them obeys its own laws of combinatorics.

Bulky sweater is best to wear with tight pants and jeans in combination with high boots or boots at low speed

Large knitting, braids, textured yarn, characteristic of this cozy thing, no doubt will be in the spotlight, so the complementary "bottom" should rather be neutral and as comfortable as possible.

If you are one of those who are not afraid of experiments, you can try more contrasting combinations, complementing a thick sweater with a feminine skirt or dress. To balance the composition, you can use leggings and boots with thick soles.

An elongated sweater looks more like a dress or a tunic. The perfect combination with this type of sweater will be leggings and leggings, and you can give a complete look to the image and emphasize the figure with a thin or wide belt at the waist.

With sufficient length, such a sweater can be worn as a dress and without any “bottom”.

In this case, given the seasonality, it is recommended to choose a moderately massive and partially hiding foot to the sweater dress.

A short sweater is probably the only version of a sweater, sweater or pullover that can be combined with wide trousers and voluminous skirts.

A more elegant addition to this model will be a classic pencil skirt. However, the owners of a slim figure should not be confused by the combination of short blouses, both wide and tight-fitting cut, with fitted trousers or skinny jeans.

What can you wear a plain sweater and a sweater with a print?

The color, the presence of a pattern or ornament on the product also largely determine the choice of "bottom" and can set the tone of the image as a whole.

. If we talk about sweaters with geometric patterns, Scandinavian patterns, favorite deer and Christmas trees, then any type of jeans will be an ideal pair for them: from skinny to boyfriend jeans, thick trousers and maxi skirts.

It should be noted that one of the latest trends allows you to create fashionable alliances of the type: “print top” plus “print bottom”, moving away from the classical postulates that prescribe combining things with a pattern exclusively with monotonous things.True, in this case it is better to stick to the same color range.

But if you wanted to wear a sweater of a very bright color, then try not to look like a “traffic light”.

Saturated shades of red, lemon, emerald green themselves put accents, so you should not abuse the "diversity", and it is better to choose a pair of skirts and trousers in neutral colors.

Well, a bright jumper with an unusual print, complemented by an original hat, a small handbag, thin kapron tights and stilettos combined with a fashionable dress, will make you feel easy and relaxed and will lift your spirits not only to you, but also to others.

You can not get around the theme of elegant black and white classics. So a black jumper will make a suitable batch in a business set with a pencil skirt, A-line skirt or pleated skirt. As for the white sweater, there is already an application for luxury.

The combination of a fluffy, soft, snow-white top with a laconic black bottom in the form of a mini-skirt or black leather trousers will give your look chic and glamor independent lady.

If suddenly you want to take a break from the contrasts, you can choose a beige sweater. In combination with a skirt or trousers of a classic cut of brown and blue colors, it will look restrained and noble.

What to wear under a sweater?

The sweater suggests that there is another layer of clothing under it, so one of the most common combinations with a “warm top” is a shirt. In this case, the shirt performs not only a utilitarian function, but also complements the ensemble. For a successful combination of a sweater with a shirt should follow some basic rules.

Cuffs and collar of a shirt should not protrude under a sweater from thin knitwear.
A monotone blouse or a blouse with a fine print would be best combined with a dark sweater of a smooth texture.
When choosing a bright and elegant sweater, it should be supplemented with a shirt made of solid fabric.
Wear a shirt with a jumper or pullover should be so that the cuffs and collar shirts are visible.
You should pay attention to the neckline of the jumper. For the collar of an office blouse will fit a round neck. The wide collar of the shirt looks great with the V-neck, while the edges of the lapel need to be positioned over the pullover.

A sweater with a shirt creates a versatile combination and blends perfectly with trousers and skirts of various styles, allowing you to feel warm and comfortable in any bad weather.

A little less familiar, but incredibly stylish, can be a combination of a sweater with a dress. If you do not want to part with the warm days, and the cold is already being felt, try to find the right sweater for your favorite summer dress.

The key to a successful tandem of these two contrasting things will be the observance of simple rules.

Use a sleeveless dress to avoid extra layers of fabric.
Combine dresses with a high neck with sweaters without a collar, and vice versa.
Do not be afraid to create color contrasts or experiment with shades.
Play with silhouettes: a voluminous sweater and tight-fitting dress — perhaps this is exactly what you need.
Do not forget about the possibility of using accessories: scarves, belts, bracelets, earrings emphasize the uniqueness of the image.
