Pullovers came to us from England, because the name itself in translation means "put on from above." They are sweaters with a V-neck. Over time, pullovers changed their appearance and adapted to fashion trends. The neckline can now be square, round, and the sleeves have become not only classic sewn narrow, but also wide enough. In addition, the cuffs can now be completely absent or have lapels. Over time, designers came up with new techniques for decorating pullovers. For men, sports symbols or simple geometric patterns are now being applied. Women like all kinds of frills, ruffles, rhinestones, original embroidery and floral arrangements. And the children are delighted with pullovers with drawings depicting their favorite fairy-tale characters or animations.
Pullovers are a very convenient and practical part of the wardrobe. That is why for many years they have earned wildly popularity among almost all sectors of society and age groups.
Men's pullovers appeared in the 19th century. Only at first they were worn by sailors and athletes. But gradually this fashionable attribute appeared in the classical style, both business and sports. For the manufacture of pullovers, fabrics of various textures are used. And the colors allow you to choose a pullover to your taste: plain, with sports motifs, with a college pattern, decorated with ornaments. And needlewomen contribute to the production of handmade pullovers. They use a variety of knitting techniques that came to us from our ancestors. Knitted pullover will always be an adornment of any man’s wardrobe. It goes well with both trousers and jeans.
But women's pullovers appeared only thanks to Coco Chanel. It was she who tried to make this wardrobe item migrate from men to women's cabinets. Coco Chanel began to use a pullover as the upper part of a trouser suit. He soon became a favorite thing of all world fashionistas. In addition, pullovers are great for winter, as they are cozy and warm. Many women prefer not to buy them, but to knit on their own. That's where you can give free rein to imagination: openwork pullovers, unusual patterns, original drawings, unthinkable styles - all this makes the life of the fair sex a little more fascinating and brighter.
Fashionistas will be especially interested to know what pullovers should be worn in 2011. Different designers offer their solutions to the world community. Pullover models for this season are volatile, as are women. You can wear a fitted pullover or incredibly loose, which has sleeves in the form of bat wings. In general, with regard to the sleeve, it can be standard, and to the elbow, and three quarters. Under such models usually wear a turtleneck or shirt, suitable in color.
For business women, pullovers in a classic style are recommended, with a collar under the throat. The color scheme should be calm and muted: shades of milky white, gray, sand and brown. A wide strip is very relevant today. Do not be afraid that it will make you fat.
The fitted beige or milky pullover looks good with a flying maxi. And shortened models are recommended to be worn with shorts and trousers, in which the waistline is too high.
In general, the models of this season are restrained and calm. But for those who like bright colors, there is good news. If you really want, then you can wear burgundy, blue-black, sand-yellow or olive pullover.
The most important thing is to be guided by your own taste and pick out things that really suit you. A warm pullover will make your life more pleasant and allow you to feel protected.
