What is it - the must-have of the season?

A classic sweater as a wardrobe item is a knitted product with long sleeves and a high collar that fits the neck. Such clothing came into use not so long ago - at the end of the nineteenth century, and appeared in Northern Europe, from where it spread throughout the world. Initially, the sweater was conceived as a thing for weight loss: the word comes from the English to sweat, which means “sweat,” doctors recommended that overweight people wear it before doing physical exercise. But men and women liked the item so much that it soon became an everyday wardrobe item.

At different times, different styles of sweaters were in fashion: short and long, tight and loose. Not so long ago, oversized models appeared, first on the catwalks and then in store windows, which translates into Russian as “over-size.” A loose cut and lack of tight-fitting details are the mandatory features of this style. This does not mean at all that a girl wearing size S can simply wear an M or L product. On the contrary, such clothes are made according to certain rules and technologies, with a deliberate increase in some details. You can see what an oversized sweater is in the photo below.

Fashion style tips

Despite the fact that oversized is a shapeless model that represents casual, you need to approach creating the image responsibly, otherwise everything will look careless. There are several basic rules when putting together an ensemble with a loose sweater:

• Pay attention to the neckline: despite the fact that the “high neck” has recently become fashionable, such a collar is not suitable for everyone, since it visually hides the neck;
• Stick to a good “bright to neutral” ratio. If the sweater is the highlighting detail of the image, then all other elements can be neutral shapes and shades. Also, this model will go well with a bright “clown” skirt and will slightly smooth out the overly bright impression;
• Three-quarter sleeves, dolman and bell designs are trending. Keep up with fashion and buy yourself a couple of things in this style.

Important: women with short stature should be very careful when wearing oversized clothes: an overly long and voluminous item will not decorate anyone, but will look funny.

Oversized is an excellent option not only for winter, but also for almost the entire fall and even summer. You can also wear a sweater as outerwear: it will perfectly protect you from the cold and allow you to create a truly cozy mood.
