The cold weather is approaching, summer clothes will have to be put away in the closet for a long time. It's time to think about updating warm clothes. Many girls prefer such a cozy, cute model as an oversized sweater, which can be an excellent addition to a winter wardrobe, and will also be indispensable in the off-season. This stylish and fashionable product will not only warm women, but also decorate any image.
Features of style
The relevance of the oversized style this season is obvious. It is enough to remember loose boyfriend pants and culottes, wide men's style shirts, baggy dresses, an original cocoon-shaped coat - all these are trendy things that fashionistas of different ages enjoy flaunting. A voluminous oversized sweater is no exception. This item is chosen by those for whom the word "style" is not an empty phrase.
The oversize trend in clothing implies seeming shapelessness, the items look too voluminous, as if the size chosen is larger than necessary. Indeed, the English word "oversize" can be translated as "excessive, increased, larger than the usual size."
This effect in clothing is created intentionally, by using special sewing techniques (shifting the shoulder line, widening the back, enlarged neck, extended sleeves). That is why an ordinary thing taken a couple of sizes larger will look ridiculous and cannot be classified as an element of the modern fashionable oversized style. Features of the described trend in clothing:
- Creates a blurry, fuzzy silhouette.
- Allows you to create multi-layered outfits.
- The women's items seem to have been taken from a man's wardrobe.
- It is possible to combine the incompatible, to mix different styles.
It is not for nothing that an oversized sweater, jumper or cardigan is popular with women. The advantages of such items are hard to miss:
- hides fullness, emphasizes femininity, fragility of a slender figure;
- provides comfort, does not restrict movement, retains heat well;
- helps to create an original, stylish, yet somewhat relaxed, informal image;
- easy to combine with different things, suitable for any situation (romantic date, shopping malls, evening out, business setting).
It is necessary to distinguish between such items as a pullover and a jumper, not to confuse them with an oversized sweater. The first two models do not have a collar (the neckline is usually round or triangular), and the style involves a tapered cut.
Popular models
Oversized sweaters are very diverse in their design. The most popular are the following models:
- A version with a large neck. It can be rolled up or worn full length. The detail performs two functions: protection from the cold, the formation of a slender, slightly elongated silhouette. Many girls tuck their hair inside the collar, it turns out a casual stylish image.
- A product with voluminous sleeves. This style will suit a slim, slender girl very well. Rolled-up sleeves will emphasize the fragility of the wrists, creating a weightless, airy image. The bottom in this case should be narrow.
- Model with a "yoke" collar. Such a thing is ideal for an informal style, everyday wear. The original collar looks voluminous, sags a little, draws attention to itself, allowing you to choose a laconic version of the bottom to match the outfit.
- A sweater made of thick yarn. The model looks very voluminous, a little rough. This is its main advantage: the elegance and femininity of the girl will stand out against the background of such clothes. A delicate color, for example, pink, can enhance the effect. It is worth paying attention to how "star" girls and models on the catwalk wear an oversized sweater of large knitting. Such a thing is often tucked into the belt with one edge to mark the waistline.
- An elongated model. The product is more like a short dress, in it the girl feels very cozy, at home. As a bottom, you can choose a midi or maxi skirt with lace running along the bottom.
- A sweater with a cropped front. The product highlights the waist, it can be worn with the stomach exposed, but only slim girls can afford it. The model helps to create trendy multi-layered images.
- Option with three-quarter sleeves. A trendy style that reveals thin wrists, emphasizing the fragility of the girl. Allows you to wear a shirt or blouse underneath, creating a multi-layered outfit.
A V-neck garment will beautifully outline the chest and highlight the neckline. This is a fashionable and non-standard version of an oversized sweater. It does not have a traditional collar, and the neckline makes the model look like a pullover. The only difference of the latter version is the fitted style.
Materials
For such a product as an oversized sweater, yarn is chosen mainly of natural origin, and it should be warm. Such a thing will warm you in the cold, allow your body to breathe. Cotton is considered a hypoallergenic option, but a sweater made of it is only suitable for wearing in cool weather in the summer. The tenderness of angora is beyond competition, soft, fluffy yarn will give the product an expensive, luxurious look. It is not recommended to wash such a thing, it is better to use dry cleaning services.
The oversized sweater will also provide volume, warmth, and fluffiness due to the following types of thread: alpaca, merino, sheep wool. Such products require special care and can easily lose their shape. A cashmere model will be cozy, but the yarn is expensive and will form pellets over time. Roving with a thread thickness of about a finger allows you to create original voluminous items. The composition may include pure wool or a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers. Machine washing is not recommended. Cord is a yarn that looks like a thick cord, the thickness and composition can be different. Beautiful knitted sweaters are made from it, but the finished material is not cheap.
Handicraft lovers can easily make yarn cords themselves using a special device.
Variety of colors
The colors of oversized sweaters are really diverse this season. Warm items in a wine-colored marsala shade are at the peak of popularity. The model is suitable for every day, for a spectacular evening out, and for an elegant business set. Rich blue looks noble and aristocratic. Turquoise and mint refresh the image, ideal for a romantic outfit.
The fashionable coral oversized sweater looks sophisticated and elegant. The lightness, fragility, femininity of the owner are emphasized by lavender and lilac shades. Black is always relevant, it is universal, it is easy to combine with any things. But beige and white should be used carefully, an oversized product with a large knit with a voluminous pattern can add fullness.
Stylists recommend choosing a sweater based on your color type. Since the collar often touches your face, the shade of the item can highlight the flaws or highlight the advantages of your skin. For example, for the "spring" color type, fresh green shades are suitable, as well as red, yellow, pink, peach, blue, and light brown colors. For "summer", you can choose soft pastel tones with a touch of gray, blue, or a shade of red wine, cold lemon, pink, or dark blue.
For the color type "autumn" recommended are golden beige, chocolate, red, olive, khaki, orange, yellow. A sweater for a girl of "winter" is selected in bright colors. Ideal options: black, white, ruby, purple, lilac, blue, dark brown, rich green.
Today, voluminous knitted items with a "braid" element are in trend. This is usually a large pattern, but there are also thin options. In the first case, the item will suit a slender, fragile girl; it will give additional volume to plump beauties. Relief diamonds, transverse and vertical ribs look original. Openwork "leaves", curls and "droplets" are good for light summer models.
Who is it suitable for?
If nature has given a girl the appearance of a model, she can wear everything, an oversized sweater of any style will fit perfectly in this case. For other types of figures, it is necessary to select a thing according to the recommendations:
- Plus-size girls should choose items with a small pattern and a soft, smooth texture; a voluminous knitting pattern will only make the situation worse.
- For thin beauties, the oversize model is just a godsend. Such a thing will emphasize the grace and fragile femininity of the girl. Large knitting, relief patterns will enhance this effect.
It is worth remembering that an oversized sweater is still more oriented towards proportionally built, thin girls. You can also choose a beautiful option for those who have minor figure flaws. Ladies with very curvy shapes should avoid this model so as not to look ridiculous and not add extra volume to themselves.
What to wear with
When choosing such unusual clothes as an oversized sweater, you need to have an idea of the rules for creating a stylish, fashionable look. It is important to remember that such things "love" a narrow bottom. You should also pay attention not so much to the color of the product, but to its texture. Interesting combinations are obtained when using wardrobe items made of contrasting materials (smooth jeans or leather and fluffy wool, yarn with a relief pattern).
Shoes can be any, sneakers, stilettos, loafers, sandals, pumps will do. For cold weather, choose ankle boots, high boots, boots with thick soles. Clothes for an oversized sweater are selected, for example, from the following list: boyfriend jeans, skinny pants, pencil skirt, long dress, voluminous shirt, and seductive tight minis will also do.
Recommendations for those who don’t know what to wear with an oversized sweater to look fashionable and attractive:
- An oversized sweater like a long tunic can be worn with thick tights and ankle boots with a comfortable heel. Suitable accessories: large jewelry in the form of a pendant, earrings.
- A light gray sweater, a black pencil skirt, elegant, laconic pumps with a medium heel, thin flesh-colored tights, a neat, strict leather handbag - all this is suitable for the office.
- Leather shorts with a belt made of the same material, tied in a large bow, and a light blue oversized sweater with a V-neck are a great option for a walk around the city in the fall. The edge of the product should be tucked into the shorts. Thick black tights, a medium-sized rectangular clutch made of textured leather, an elegant watch and loose bracelets on the hands will complete the look. On your feet, you can put on black suede ankle boots with a stable heel.
Don't be afraid of the bulky size of an oversized sweater. By choosing all the elements of clothing correctly, you can achieve a truly striking effect. Original, stylish, large-volume items are very comfortable, they will create a feeling of freedom, emancipation, comfort, home warmth, but at the same time will make their owner incredibly feminine and attractive.
