Cardigan clip – a necessary accessory or not?

Amazing women's cardigans can transform any woman and add luxury and nobility to her look. To accentuate the style, various models are used, decorated with embroidery, lace, satin inserts, and straps. The main accent of a trendy look can be the most insignificant detail, for example, a cardigan clip.

This product resembles jewelry and serves as a decorative element with a functional load. A small thing connects the stripes of the jacket, while decorating the product and adding a special twist to a woman’s look.

Types of clips for cardigans

Depending on the method of cutting and sewing women's jackets, they have a different way of connecting the front panels. Models with a wrap, buttons or zippers do not require brooches or clips. Loose items are fastened with a belt or strap. A cardigan clip without buttons is often used to securely connect the two panels of the jacket.

Clamp models:

  • Triangle.
  • Clamp - clip.
  • Pin.
  • With pendants.
  • Handmade brooch (plants, flowers, figures).
  • Diamonds with stones.
  • Stars on a chain.
  • Holder in the form of two squares and a chain.

Available in single clips or double clips in Duck Family or Deer styles. You can purchase products in different patterns in silver or golden color. Attractive products significantly influence the perception of a woman’s appearance and add special chic and originality to the image.

How to fasten a cardigan without buttons, and is it necessary to do so?

Today fashion trends dictate their own rules. And if yesterday it was fashionable to walk around with an open jacket. Today it should be worn, comfortably fastened with a brooch or belt. This gives a special charm and zest to the image.

On a note!

A jacket without fasteners and a collar is just a godsend for women with a non-standard figure. Depending on how you fasten it, you can hide certain figure flaws, emphasizing only the advantages.

Here are examples of how you can advantageously emphasize your figure using the right type of fastener:

  • For women with an apple-shaped figure, a cardigan fastened at the chest with a brooch is suitable. It will look more stylish if the clasp is slightly to the side.
  • The advantages of a square figure can be emphasized with a jumper fastened with a wide belt. Then the waist line will stand out clearly.
  • Triangular body type. Fasten with clips. Comfortable, beautiful, elegant. The cardigan smoothly falls from the shoulders, but does not fall.
  • Hourglass. This is a universal type of figure; absolutely any type of fastener will fit here.

There are various variations. Short cardigans, long, long in the front and short in the back, knitted (for example, chunky knit).

Jewelry materials

A stylish decoration - the clip will decorate any woman. Clamps are made from stainless steel, white enamel, and metal alloys. The structure and composition of the material influence the color and style of the product. Copper samples have a yellow tint, nickel-plated products are blackish with a silver tint.

Due to the resistance of metal alloys to corrosion and mechanical stress, the clamps have excellent performance. These are durable and strong products that are not afraid of water and friction, serve for a long time and reliably.

What do cardigans decorated with a clip go with?

Cardigans with a clip are loose and moderately form-fitting products that can be perfectly combined with things of different styles. For everyday wear, you can use a pencil skirt, straight trousers, or jeans. A festive ensemble will allow you to create an evening dress and a light openwork cardigan to the knee, the main accent of which will be a stylish brooch.

Jackets decorated with fringes, silver clips and monochrome sundresses are suitable for walking. A working option is a short knitted jacket with a clip in combination with a straight skirt or riding breeches.

What it is?

A cardigan clip is a somewhat forgotten accessory, consisting of two clips connected to each other by a chain. The functional purpose of the accessory is to fasten the fronts of a blouse that does not have a fastener . However, the clip is mainly used as a decorative part.

Clips are attached to clothing. If you use a cardigan clip without buttons, the clips tilt towards the front of the jacket. The clamp can be positioned at different levels. Most often, it is attached at the level of the neck, but the clip can be placed lower, right down to the waist line.

Many consider this accessory to be useless, and in vain ! Firstly, this is a wonderful decoration that can replace a brooch. Secondly, the clip allows you to fasten the hems of the cardigan, preventing them from slipping off your shoulders. This device allows you not to hide a beautiful top or dress worn under a cardigan.

However, the cardigan clip can be worn with other types of clothing. For example, if you attach clips to the collar of an ordinary office shirt, the accessory will look like an elegant decoration. You can decorate almost any outfit with a clip, even jeans . Thanks to this detail, you can add vintage charm to almost any toilet.

Selection of accessories

A cardigan with a clip is elegant and formal in itself, so you shouldn’t overload your look with unnecessary decorative elements and accessories. You can use an elegant bracelet, a thin gold chain, exquisite silver earrings, stylish beads made of natural stone. A hairpin, pendant, ring, watch will complete the look. A transparent scarf or an elegant scarf made of silk or chiffon will allow you to accentuate your style.

Fasteners on knitted items

To bookmarks

Today I invite you to admire with me the skill of needlewomen in such a seemingly simple area - a fastener on a knitted sweater (jacket, cardigan, vest).

Undoubtedly, looking at the neatly and intricately made placket of a knitted jacket, you are imbued with gratitude and respect for the one who came up with and brought to life such an unusual element.

For some, such difficulties in making a seemingly simple piece of clothing seem unnecessary and unjustified in terms of time and simply labor costs. I have met such strict connoisseurs.

To this I have two objections:

1.

Each master, demonstrating his skill, acts one way and not another, based on his inner feelings and sensations, consistent with the time and place in which he lives.

If we talk about clothing, then there is no point in comparing modern clothing with clothing of the 19th century in terms of correct manufacturing. Different times, different people, different goals in the end.

But even at the same time, people living in completely different conditions dress differently: the clothes of a Bedouin and a Chukchi simply cannot be compared - life is different and clothes are also different.

In addition, at all times, in any natural zone, there are concepts of casual clothing, work clothing and festive and elegant clothing. And all the elements of this very festive clothing are different for people.

Even during one human life, how many times can fashion change? It's mind boggling!

. Now is such an interesting time when fashion often welcomes mixing styles and introducing into it some previously unusual elements.

Therefore, do not be embarrassed by deviations from established ideas about what certain elements of clothing “should be”, unless you are at a royal reception on a certain occasion, where those present are dressed in accordance with a certain protocol.

Now let's see what kind of fasteners craftswomen come up with.

Now let's see what kind of fasteners craftswomen come up with.

I actually like this option completely. The clasp fits very harmoniously into the model. And asymmetry, and color contrast, and an oblique edge of the shelf, in combination with high-quality yarn, a good pattern and textured knitting - all together gives the effect of complete correspondence of the parts to each other.

It is decent to appear anywhere in such a jacket. He is quite strict and at the same time elegant. Nice model!

Back closure options. Interesting models for modern young women. It is important to feel confident in such a model. Not everyone can. Not everyone wears it that way. That's right, both models are not for everyone.

I looked and looked, but I still couldn’t understand whether this clasp was fake or not. It could be this and that. I wish it were factual. So that you can unfasten and use the stole option. And what do you think?

Photos 5, 6, 7 and 8.

The options are similar, but at the same time very different.
Smoothly knitted items look impeccable. In a blouse with such a fastener (except, perhaps, No. 7) I imagine a little girl in the summer, in light shoes, white socks or knee socks, in a fluffy skirt and with a bow, or a hat. For some reason this picture pops up. In general, the option of a stockinette stitch with a narrow vertical stripe of fastening looks good only on thin, graceful girls or little girls.

I would not recommend this option to a woman with luxurious shapes (if she asked me about it).

Oh-oh-I really liked it.
How? Don't know! Everyone. Moreover, I don’t like the color pink (although I knitted myself a huge pink jacket. Why? I don’t know either). But the clasp with corners won me over. I don’t know about you, but looking at this gallery I was once again convinced of how important details are, how important the quality of these details is. Carelessly connected details can ruin the entire impression of the item. Try to make the quality of the parts work for you.
