Who are they suitable for?
Any item looks individual on each person. The same model can fill out or emphasize the advantages of appearance. The choice depends on the characteristics of the figure and how you plan to wear the outfit.
Shortened products are suitable for girls with ideal proportions, since on such a figure they look advantageous in any situation. Stylists advise owners of curvaceous figures to be careful when purchasing a short blouse. The style requires careful selection of the lower part of the set, which will balance the bow and hide imperfections in appearance.
Jumper
A jumper is a knitted product with a small or no fastener, as well as a round collar. In length it partially covers the hip area. Initially, this was part of the equipment of track and field athletes.
A thin unisex jumper made of cotton can be an element of a multi-layered look. A lightweight oversized jumper worn over a lingerie-style dress will highlight feminine fragility. And worn over a classic white shirt, it dilutes the formality a little.
A men's thick jumper made of cashmere or wool goes harmoniously with straight trousers. Models with a polo collar are good for everyday wear. With a zipper, the item is unique for a cozy set for cold weather. This piece of clothing visually adds age to young guys. But a brutal man looks softer and more attractive in this.
Popular models
Sweater
An ambiguous model that destroys habitual associations. It would seem that the main role of a sweater is to keep you warm. And all variations in our understanding should be long and with a collar. But the short cut creates a new, extraordinary look. This is a fashionable solution for brave girls. Designers suggest giving preference to soft knitwear or thin woolen threads.
When composing your bow, take into account the peculiarities of color combinations. For example, vertical patterns visually lengthen the silhouette. The sweater should not be darker than the skirt or trousers. Opt for plain options, which, if desired, are complemented with eye-catching accessories in the form of beads or a scarf.
Sports
Initially, this model was intended for sports. But since a woman wants to look stylish in any setting without sacrificing comfort, sports sweaters have migrated into the everyday wardrobe. The products are suitable for both fitness and walking around the city. Trendy models do not restrict movement and emphasize the advantages of the figure. Designers produce variations in different colors, with inscriptions and catchy designs, with a zipper, with a hood and inserts from different fabrics.
Combine sports-style clothing with skinny jeans, shorts, ripped boyfriend jeans, and mini skirts. Muted and basic colors are in fashion, but in the summer, sets of rich shades are popular.
Sweatshirt
A universal model that attracts the attention of fashionistas every season. This is a neatly trimmed jacket that can advantageously show off a woman’s body or skillfully hide it. To avoid creating a provocative look, it is recommended to wear a short sweatshirt with trousers and a high-waisted skirt. The outfit will be completed with laconic accessories and low-top shoes.
Style selection
In order for the composition to be harmonious, you need to carefully think through the entire image, but first you need to determine which style is closer to you.
- Business clothes are characterized by laconicism and rigor, so you should choose simple models without bright decor. If the blouse is dark, you can wear brown, gray trousers or a white skirt underneath it. The combination of a light top and dark bottom is always relevant. Shirts made of transparent fabric or with a bright print in a business setting should be covered with a jacket or blazer.
- For a romantic look, transparent models are ideal, but only in combination with lingerie of the same shade. A blouse with long sleeves can be worn over a plain T-shirt or dress.
- To create a sophisticated evening look, you need to choose a beautiful blouse. The cut, color and material should be chosen at your own discretion. A win-win combination is a black blouse, a bright skirt and dark shoes. An image with elegant trousers and a hat looks very feminine and intriguing. A lace blouse will add femininity and romance. It is recommended to complement the ensemble with a bright accessory - a belt, necklace, massive chain.
Colors and prints
With all the variety of colors and prints of cropped blouses, stylists identify several trend directions:
- Pastel colors have remained at the peak of popularity for many years. Soft shades easily combine with classic or bright colors and add femininity to the look. Pastel colors fit into both everyday summer looks and attire for business meetings.
- Universal black color is the choice of practical women. This option elegantly emphasizes the figure, visually hiding flaws. Black sweaters are suitable for evening, office and every day looks.
- Striped print is back in fashion. The size and location of the pattern is selected individually according to the figure. Girls with curvy figures are advised to avoid wide horizontal stripes so as not to overload their appearance. Vertical lines, on the contrary, visually elongate the silhouette. An outfit with a horizontal striped print is designed for petite and thin fashionistas who want to add light volume to their appearance.
What to wear with a cropped sweater?
The desire to diversify your wardrobe will help you create ensembles that can be worn for any occasion. The first option for a successful outfit is a multi-layer suit. In this case, shortened items are worn over long clothes. For example, a long white tank top and a bright long sleeve (thin long-sleeve T-shirt) are added to straight gray trousers for everyday use. The logical conclusion of the look will be a loose gray sweater with an elastic band at the bottom.
Multilayer kits are distinguished by their universal purpose. They can be successfully worn by women of any age category. The combination of things of different lengths successfully hides possible figure flaws.
Another option for successfully combining a sweater with other wardrobe elements is based on the principle of youth style. This means that a short sweater can be worn over any basic base: tight golf, a T-shirt, a top, a dress.
In such a set, an important role is given to color harmonies. Clothes can be contrasting or matching shades. For example, a white badlon (turtleneck with a short collar) is taken as a basis. A blue cropped sweater with a blue denim skirt will go perfectly with it. You can also combine two pastel colors at the top - a pale blue T-shirt and a cream sweater. A gentle pair will be well complemented by tight skinny trousers in beige or milk chocolate.
A cropped chunky knit sweater goes well with a fluffy short skirt. A prerequisite must be the presence of a tight-fitting base. Women with non-ideal shapes can complement the ensemble with a wide belt that perfectly highlights the waist. Leather belts with large buckles look especially advantageous.
Fashionable short sweaters
Nowadays, all kinds of styles of short sweaters are in trend, because they can be decorated with various prints and laces that will add brightness to the image or make it more stylish. The main thing when putting on such a thing is to take into account the appearance of your tummy. The ideal solution would be to complement your look with a high-waisted bottom.
It is worth thinking about the choice of drawing. After all, this is not only an element of decoration. This detail can play a big role in demonstrating a slim figure. Unique stripes can hide excess fullness, and many colors can work on the brightness of the image. Three bright colors are popular now: coral, rich dark red, and indigo. However, white and black are classic colors that never cease to be fashionable. Bright prints, fictitious stories, and numbers fade into the background, giving way to more monochromatic outfits.
Cardigan
A cardigan is a thin, long cardigan with a v-neck and button closure. The thing got its name from the name of a count in the 19th century.
James Cardigan was a fashionista and a keen connoisseur of beauty. He wanted to look elegant even in battle and taught this to his soldiers. The knitted sweater provided great warmth and was not visible under the uniform. After the war she was named after the count.
A modern cardigan may have no buttons, but this model often comes with a belt. In women's wardrobes today, thin cardigans with buttons are not held in high esteem. They should only be worn as a first or second layer. But dense wool models will help insulate a light ensemble in the off-season.
In a men's wardrobe, a thin cardigan harmoniously complements a classic office look with a shirt, trousers and shoes.
Turtleneck
A turtleneck is a thin, tight-fitting jacket with a high collar and no fasteners. Initially, it was worn under a diving suit by divers, hence the name.
In St. Petersburg, the product is often called “banlon” or “badlon” because of the synthetic fiber of the same name in the product. Today, loose turtlenecks made of knitwear, wool, and yarn are in demand.
For a modern woman, a black turtleneck is the thing that will save any look. Dressy models with lace and mesh inserts are not in trend today, but a sleeveless turtleneck is in demand. She will emphasize the tenderness and grace of the owner.
In a men's wardrobe, a turtleneck plays exclusively the function of insulation. Stylists agree that a turtleneck looks good on brutal guys with short hair or no hair at all, as it emphasizes their masculinity and visually adds height.
In business outfits, a turtleneck can replace a shirt. Adherents of an informal style often choose a combination of a loose turtleneck and jeans for daily wear.
Short jacket - fashionable or not?
Short sweaters with short sleeves are popular because they can be worn on a cool summer evening. And the variety of models pleases many fashionistas. Agree, many have already fallen in love with boleros and cropped blouses. Designers go further and enrich the range with new ideas, such as short vests, jackets and light capes. They may barely cover the stomach or not cover it at all, so you need to take into account your body shape so as not to look ridiculous. An excellent option is a short jacket with one shoulder dropped, which looks very original and feminine. Short jackets have a fitted silhouette with a clasp. The bolero looks very feminine. It can be made of thick fabric for winter or translucent for summer. The bolero can be complemented with beads, lace or other decorations. A short sweater with short sleeves is best suited for the warm season. This wardrobe item is available in a variety of models. The sleeve can be of minimum length, elbow-length or ¾ length.
Pullover
The pullover is the closest “brother” of the jumper, which differs from it only in the v-shaped collar. The classic version has a fitted silhouette and long tapered sleeves.
You can create a modern, relaxed feminine outfit with a thin pullover as the first layer. At the same time, tenderness should be balanced with rough boots and loose trousers.
Asymmetrical models go harmoniously with flowing skirts, jeggings or cargo pants. Shoes include pumps or comfortable loafers.
You can get a sexy look if you combine a pullover with a slit in the back with shorts or a flowy skirt. This model is relevant even for a summer evening and going out. A pullover with an openwork knit will balance out rough boots and jeans.
Men use a pullover as a second layer over a shirt or T-shirt. A solid fitted pullover, a classic shirt, shoes and a tie will help create a set for going to work. For a preppy style, the look can be a little more relaxed. A casual option with a pullover made of cashmere or knitwear will be complemented by tapered trousers and bright boat shoes.
