Sweatshirts

The word “sweatshirt” is on everyone’s lips, but few understand what it really is. A sweatshirt is a sweater, but it fits like a sweatshirt. In English, the word is written as a sweatshirt, so if literally, then it is called a sweater-blouse (sweater - sweater, shirt - blouse).

Features a sweatshirt enough. Cut it free, and it is sewn from knitwear, which is insulated for autumn and winter models. The neckline of a sweatshirt is round, and under it there is always an insert from a wide v-shaped elastic band. Like ordinary sweaters, this variety does not have zippers. Raglan sleeves.

The specifics of sweatshirts and decorating. On some models, these are hoods or pockets, on others - sequins and rhinestones. The obligatory part is a wide elastic band on the sleeves and the belt. One of the main signs - bright prints and inscriptions. Previously, the sweatshirt was intended only for sports, now it has no restrictions.

In everyday life there appeared many words that came to us from abroad, which makes it difficult to understand what they really mean. Sometimes it seems there is no difference between them. To avoid confusion, consider the differences between these products from each other.

This part of the thing is decisive. Its length can be both classical and three-quarters, you can often see a double sleeve - a long one comes out of a short one. Long-sleeves are made of thin soft fabric and most often emphasize the shape. It can be used as underwear, sportswear or as an independent piece of clothing.

Sweatshirt is a sporty version of a sweater. There are models with clasps for the entire length or without them at all. Frequent items are hoods and pockets. It is made of dense fabrics to keep warm. First of all, the sweatshirt refers specifically to the sports variety of clothing.

Like any other item of clothing, a sweatshirt can advantageously highlight your strengths or even ruin the whole look. You can find the perfect model, suitable for a person with any figure and type of appearance.

The length before and below the hips can hide the tummy, and wide sleeves or a print in the upper part of the product can visually enlarge the chest and shoulders. Inserts a dark color at the waist to help look slimmer. Fully worth avoiding horizontal lines in the design and overhead large pockets. Slim can afford multi-layered fashion models.

The choice should depend not only on the features of appearance, but also on the purpose for which the sweatshirt is acquired. For sports, the classic model without decorations, inserts and innovative solutions in the choice of material will be ideal.

Sequins and laces, prints and many other decorative ornaments are great for going out - to a party or a meeting with friends. Comfortable and warm, with a small proportion of decor and not too defiant drawings will be indispensable for everyday life.

Once the sweatshirt was intended solely for sports, but now it has become a truly universal part of the wardrobe.Over time, designers allowed themselves to more and more bold and original solutions in modeling. They retreated from the traditional understanding of a sweatshirt, allowed themselves to experiment with shapes, length and decor, due to which numerous combinations appeared.

The very look of a sweatshirt, its very understanding of how things of free fit with a raglan sleeve have been rethought. In addition to the classic model, it is now easy to find a dress sweatshirt (knee-length), a sweatshirt sweater (with set-in sleeves), a sweatshirt-sweater (knitted with a tight collar), a polo sweatshirt (with short sleeves), a sweatshirt bomber (with a buckle).

If earlier a sweatshirt meant the simplest appearance, now in their tailoring they use hoods and pockets, collars, zippers, cuts on the sides. The changes affected the cut: gone from the usual free to oversight, or, conversely, quite tight, or even on one shoulder. The variety of fabric made it possible to produce light summer and warm winter products.

Having a choice of length makes them a good buy for people with a completely different figure. The classic model - shortened (to the middle of the hips), is the most popular, since it is ideal for combining with any clothing. Long, below the hips, often turn into a cut of a sweatshirt dress, so they will help to hide figure flaws. Short to hip products have returned to fashion, with their help you can emphasize a beautiful waistline. Crop sweatshirts have also found their place on the shelves of the shops, which completely open up the view of the flat tummy.

The changes affected not only the length of the thing, but also the sleeves, as well as its style at all. Initially, a sweatshirt assumed the presence of a raglan type sleeve. Its feature is the absence of a seam between the shoulder and the sleeve and an increased depth of the floodplain. That is, speaking of raglan, we mean the beveled shoulder line.

Most of all creative and fantasy fashion designers show when they wear sweatshirts. Sports style went into the background, giving way to the pedestal diversity and luxury. Not only prints are famous sweatshirts.

The fabric is richly decorated with sequins and rhinestones, beads, beads, glass beads, pebbles or metal inserts.

Often, the models are combined in fabric, however, it can also be an independent decoration on clothes. Most often it depicts floral motifs or is used for inscriptions and logos.

Hand-painting with acrylic paints using brushes, sponges and airbrushes has become increasingly popular. Sweatshirts with pictures look bright, moreover, they are also practical, because such an image is resistant to different temperatures, damage and moisture.

Hotel place in the decoration of sweatshirts is the finish of other fabrics. Leather sleeves have become an integral part of many brands. Mostly they are used for models of calmer gray or dark tones, but often they contain bright and interesting prints. Thanks to the skin, the sweatshirt immediately plays with new colors, it adds audacity to the image.

Laces on the contrary bring tenderness and softness. They may be present on the product as stripes on the shoulders, sleeves, abdomen, or any other part. And they can be completely or partially, for example, on the back, replaced by lace patterns. Often from the sweatshirt there are only elastic bands on the sleeves and the belt.

Elastic bands on the sleeves and the bottom edge remain an invariable part even of a knitted item. Not only classic raglan sleeves are possible, but also vtachnye. Product length may vary.

The most common monochrome sweatshirts. Classic print on fabric is replaced by knitted patterns, which looks no less interesting. There is also a different style of knitting, which affects the pattern of the canvas, due to which the originality of the sweater is achieved.

Except perhaps that large drawings, especially animals, and horizontal stripes, but there is a huge choice of small prints. You should not take a thing from heavy knitwear, as it keeps its shape well, because of what it will look heavy.

The single-product is considered the most safe model, especially of dark shades, because they visually hide what they want to hide. This does not mean that you should take only black sweatshirts. Blue, green, brown, rich wine and gray shades. They are not only fashionable this season, but also help you highlight the beauty of your type of appearance.
