Sweaters are relevant not only in the cold season. This statement is clearly demonstrated by designers and bloggers who use fashionable sweaters in their outfits. The material, style, and design can be completely different. Such sets are successfully complemented by jeans, skirts, trousers, and shorts. They are worn to work, where a dress code is required, as well as in everyday life.
Trends of the season
The trends of the current season are very diverse. One of the main discoveries was the geometric pattern. Knitted sweaters with diamonds, checks, stripes, large polka dots are appropriate today not only for a walk or study, but also as part of office wardrobes.
In the coming autumn-winter season, stylists advise focusing on color. The undisputed favorite is red with its dark, saturated shades. By complementing the model with details such as an open or high neckline, you can get an even more stylish look.
A bold neckline adds sexuality to the outfit. If desired, it can be complemented with unusual details, such as lacing. A fashionable women's sweater with a neckline can be used to create an ensemble for a romantic date or party.
If we talk about additional decorative elements, it is worth mentioning lacing, artificial pearls. The longitudinal lacing composition looks spectacular not only in the décolleté area, it can be used on the neckline, back or sleeves. Designers often decorate sleeves and necklines with large artificial pearls.
Continuation of last year's trend - dropped shoulder. Knitted or jersey sweaters with bare shoulders allow you to emphasize the collarbones, neck, and décolleté area. This season, not only blouses with lantern sleeves have returned to fashion, the fashion baton has been successfully picked up by thin jumpers and voluminous sweaters with unusual cut details.
Lettering is another trend this year. Letter print has made knitted women's items very popular among young people and street style fans. The main condition is that the sweater should be monochromatic.
In addition to style and color, designers advise paying attention to the texture of the product. Large, sometimes rough knitting, reminiscent of handwork or thin openwork patterns, as if crocheted - all this will allow you to create a truly fashionable image.
Current styles
Speaking about styles, first of all it is worth mentioning the voluminous models, which have successfully held the top three for several years. Oversize attracts with its versatility. It suits almost any type of figure. In addition to it, other styles that are related to the concept of a sweater are also relevant this season, although many of them do not have a fastener in the front:
- Crop sweater. Shortened models are ideal for spring and summer. But you need to understand that such a style requires a slim figure, or more precisely, a flat stomach.
- Sweater dress. One of the boldest decisions is deservedly popular among fashionistas. The length, cut, style of sleeves and neck can vary.
- Knitted turtleneck. A favorite item of Korean designers. It has firmly established itself in the winter wardrobe this year. Much attention is paid to color. Turtlenecks in bright saturated shades are in trend: wine, mustard, emerald.
- With raglan sleeves. Sweaters that have become classics of the genre are slightly different from the standard model this year. Designers have widened the neck, focused on texture and color, emphasizing the cut of the product with details.
- Pullovers. Classic models have acquired original embroidery this season. From boring office looks, pullovers have moved into the casual category.
- Cardigan. This item of clothing can easily replace a summer coat or jacket. This year, close attention was paid to the length of this wardrobe item. Knitted floor-length cardigans have become a real hit. Shortened capes imitating capes are still in the top.
- Jacket. Another alternative to the boring jacket. The variety of styles and finishes of these items is not much inferior to sweaters. Long and short, large knit and smooth knitted, with decor and without - knitted jackets have rightfully taken their place in the top trendy sweaters.
Neckline design
One of the most important details of knitted sweaters 2023 is the neckline. It would seem that there are not so many options for its design, however, designers managed to surprise this year:
- The classic version of the high collar has changed. All thanks to the oversize. The voluminous style required a reworking of this detail. The tightly fitting collar has been transformed into a yoke, creating cozy folds.
- The V-neckline has also undergone changes. It has become wider and deeper, revealing the décolleté area.
- The boat neckline has kept up with this year's fashion trends, smoothly transforming into an asymmetrical version with a half-dropped shoulder.
- A novelty of the season can safely be called sweaters with a deep neckline on the back. Such a detail allows you to demonstrate to others a beautiful back and shoulders, as well as to dilute a boring everyday ensemble.
- The neat stand-up collar is not as relevant as its predecessors. However, it is still used in turtlenecks and raglan-sleeved sweaters.
- The round ribbed collar is most often found on men's jumpers and pullovers. In the women's version, it stands out in a contrasting color and is supported by elastic on the sleeves.
Texture options
Sometimes, just one detail can emphasize the relevance of an image. Often, it is the texture. Large knit items are still in fashion. The most voluminous models are knitted from thick wool roving. This type of yarn is used not only for making sweaters, but also for making fashionable blankets, hats, mittens, and scarves.
Thin translucent models of openwork knitting are made using cotton yarn. Such things are intended for summer, they are breathable, hypoallergenic. Fashionable knitted sweaters for winter are made from yarn with a high content of merino, mohair, alpaca. All these types of wool have low thermal conductivity, that is, they retain natural body temperature for a long time.
The most expensive yarn in the world is made from vicuña wool. A 30-gram ball costs about 10,000 rubles.
Design and color
Monochrome has become one of the trends of the season. Designers decided to use bright pure colors to the maximum. The most popular were red, mustard, chocolate tones. Representatives of the fashion industry did not forget about powder shades, beloved by all girls.
For those who are tired of monotony, lines with stylish, trendy prints were created:
- Geometry. Fashionable sweaters with multi-colored wide stripes successfully compete with monochrome models. The diamond pattern successfully emphasizes the V-neck, and the check provides the necessary contrast. The main thing is that the print is large.
- Inscriptions. Designers supplied monochrome products in neutral shades with inscriptions both with and without meaning. Such models immediately became popular among young people who prefer a free style.
Last year's fashion for embroidery, clasps, large beads and bugles has not disappeared. Floral ornament is one of the most popular themes. Bright flowers look especially impressive on products of neutral or pastel shades.
Large glass beads are actively used to decorate the neck and sleeves. Beautiful blouses embroidered with artificial pearls are still relevant. Made in powder shades, they look very gentle. Sleeves have received maximum attention this year. They have been widened, lengthened, equipped with cutouts, buttons, lacing.
What to wear with
Jeans and a sweater have become a classic combination. It must be admitted that this is indeed one of the most comfortable options, but it is far from the only one. Stylists have developed many sets for girls, where the main elements are hand-knitted sweaters.
The second most popular option is a tandem of a jumper and trousers. There can be many variations here. A voluminous style can be combined with narrow skinny pants, a semi-sporty jumper with chinos, and a thin pullover can be tucked into wide trousers. In summer, trousers can be replaced with shorts made of thick, preferably plain material.
Stylish and feminine girls prefer a combination of sweaters and skirts. Oversized models with tight skirts, classic pumps with thin stiletto heels or rough boots with thick heels will look spectacular. A cashmere turtleneck with a pencil skirt will also fit into any dress code.
A sweater dress will help owners of slender legs to attract attention. It can be worn with leather leggings, suede ankle boots or high boots, preferably the same color as the sweater. Knitted jackets and cardigans of different lengths can become part of an office wardrobe. Straight trousers and strict skirts will be a successful addition to a business look. As accessories, you can use a leather belt or an inconspicuous vintage brooch.
The presence of decor, unusual print or texture on a sweater makes the use of any additional decorations unnecessary.
Sweaters of 2023 have retained the main trends of past years, but at the same time acquired details that made it possible to create completely new combinations and images.
