It is getting colder, and many are already thinking about warming their wardrobe. The market offers a wide variety of styles of warm clothing. One of the most polar is a sweater, pullover and sweater. What are their differences, how to learn not to confuse these styles and with what to wear them?
What are the differences
Pullover. The main distinguishing features of the pullover: V-neck and fitted feminine silhouette. If the cutout remains unchanged, then there are variations on the second point: the modern mod allows you to sew a pullover of a more loose cut. But historically, it is tight-fitting clothing. For sewing use different materials depending on the destination. For warmer products, thin wool is used, for demi-season and summer models - knitwear. There are modifications with various long sleeves, as well as the product itself.
Jumper. Knitted or woolen warm clothing. Unlike a pullover, a jumper has a rounded neckline or a very small collar. Length - approximately to the line of the hips, but sometimes it can reach the level of the knee. Modern designers offer different types of jumpers: oversize models, stretched, long, products with shoulder pads or with raglan sleeves. Initially, a jumper is an element of men's sportswear, borrowed from the equipment of sailors. He came into women's fashion, thanks to Coco Chanel. Light fit, femininity and high compatibility with a skirt and cardigan allowed him to gain popularity among the female half of the population.
Sweater. A product from wool yarn of various thicknesses. Special Features: High collar and long sleeves. Unlike a sweater and pullover, a sweater is a warmer option. A method of manufacturing - knitting needles, hook, special equipment. For cuffs, a denser knit is used. On the front side of the product often there are various patterns or ornaments. The story of his popularization is associated with clothes for weight loss. In the 19th century, doctors advised doing sports in warm clothes to significantly increase perspiration and promote fat burning. In English, “sweat” - “to sweat”, hence the name “sweater”. Later it began to be used as equipment for the military and athletes. The sweater came into female fashion gradually: first, Coco Chanel opened it to the world of boutiques and catwalks, then Marilyn Monroe promoted it to the masses so that the expression “sweater girl” appeared - an attractive girl in a tight sweater.
So, the difference is that: a jumper is a lightweight version, a product with long or shortened sleeves and a round neckline. Pullover is a type of sweater with a V-neck, often less loose cut, often tight. The sweater is the warmest of the three options, a woolen product with a high collar and long sleeves.
What to wear with a pullover and cardigan
The jumper and pullover are distinguished by their versatility, so they are suitable for almost any clothing and style. Men can put on a shirt under the product (both plain and unobtrusive print). A jacket will complement a classic look with a white shirt and a plain jumper. Products are perfectly combined with jeans of various styles and colors, trousers.
There are much more variations for women: oversize models, fitted, elongated models, dresses. Jeans and trousers are ideal for them: skinny skinny, flared, classic.
IMPORTANT. You should choose the right shoes and maintain the same style.
With a skirt, a jumper looks no less stylish: you can fill it up or put it on top. To create a layering, a jumper or pullover is worn over the shirt (with or without print) so that the edges of the shirt are visible from below and the collar from above. It is important to remember that these products are basic, which means they give room for imagination and the ability to combine various wardrobe items.
