Winter sweaters – trends 2021
When the temperature outside the window is low, we are happy to take out sweaters from the wardrobes. This comfortable piece of clothing will not only warm us up during colder winter days, but will make our stylizations take on a new character. This season, many elements that set winter trends are a continuation of summer-autumn trends. Characteristic features that stay with us for several seasons are the colors and patterns of clothes.
Types of sweaters:
- Golfs– these are warm sweaters with a characteristic collar. The perfect winter sweater. The cut of the turtlenecks is characterized by a fit to the body, which is why they are perfect for ladies with an hourglass figure.
- Knitted sweaters – winter classics. Such sweaters are available both as fitted and oversized. This type is often decorated with lace or decorative elements. It will work both at home and outside.
- Cardigans – these are comfortable and oversize style cardigans. They perfectly cover the imperfections of the figure, which is why they are perfect for women with an apple figure. It should be noted that an oversized style can add a few pounds visually.
- Short sweaters – sweaters that are approximately belly button length. They are available in short and long sleeve versions. Such a sweater looks great in a set with elegant skirts and high-waisted trousers. They also look great as a cover over a dress.
Winter colors
Colorful sweaters should not be missing in our wardrobes. They give our stylization expressiveness and go well with white and black elements of clothing. And what colors are we talking about? Of course about pastels! The most popular colors of sweaters that reign this winter are:
- Mint
- Pink
- Blue
- Orange
In addition, sweaters with delicate decorations along the length of the sleeve and holes at the height of the forearms and shoulders are now especially fashionable!
Prints are still in fashion
Whether those with a simple or more sophisticated pattern – there should be at least one such sweater in our wardrobe. Patterns and prints on clothes have accompanied us since the beginning of summer, and this trend will definitely stay with us until the end of spring. Unusual geometric shapes and asymmetric or animal motifs are already a standard to which we have become accustomed and have become everyday.
What about composition?
When buying a sweater, pay special attention to the material it is made of. Here are some tips on raw materials:
- Wool– one of the basic textile materials. It is thanks to it that our clothes are warm and soft to the touch. The biggest downside, however, is its ability to felt, which makes it less pleasant to the touch. Wool is mainly used for knitwear.
- Cellulose fibres – i.e. viscose and modal, characterized by lightness and softness. They allow the skin to breathe, making them very airy. Clothes made of these materials are extremely durable and absorb moisture very well! However, because they are not natural fibers, they can shrink at too high temperatures
- Cashmere– is a material for many years. Cashmere is very durable, does not absorb odors and is resistant to dirt. In addition, it has storage properties, thanks to which it will always protect us from the cold.
- Mohair– this is wool from Angora goats originating in Tibet. It is characterized by a long fiber, great lightness and fluffiness and a beautiful gloss. The disadvantage of clothes with the addition of mohair is its tendency to pilling.
- Acrylic– the material is more and more often and more willingly used as a synthetic substitute for wool. Clothes with an admixture of acrylic are difficult to distinguish from wool with the naked eye, because the texture of these fibers is very similar. The advantage of acrylic is that it does not cause skin irritation and is ideal for allergy sufferers. Unfortunately, this material does not “breathe” and in addition has low resistance to abrasion or “pilling”.
Let’s remember that the main advantage of having a sweater is convenience – at work, during a meeting or at home sipping your favorite tea. Sweaters give us great freedom when choosing styling, so don’t be afraid to experiment. Denim pants, a white T-shirt and your favorite sweater – we have a ready-made, fashionable winter styling.
