Hoodie
A traditional hoodie (English hoodie from hood - “hood”) is one of the varieties of a sweater without fasteners and with a hood. It is sewn from soft, comfortable cotton fabric or fleece. It comes with a kangaroo pocket.
The most common option for everyday wear. Initially, it was a jacket with a hood without a zipper, but the fashion designers decided to make it more practical and comfortable. In addition, the fastener provides great opportunities for creating a variety of options. The zipper can be straight, oblique, in the center or on the side.
Such sweatshirts with a zipper and a hood can either be made from light fabric or be insulated with fur. They are worn by both men and women, young and old.
Cardigan
A fashionable and practical cardigan will be found in any girl's closet. This is an integral part of the basic wardrobe. It can be with or without a clasp.
Fashionistas especially liked models with a hood, which not only plays a decorative role, but also saves from wind and cold.
The closure can be with buttons or zippers. Girls prefer the second option, which saves time and simplifies the dressing process. However, the zipper gives clothes a sporty look, so the range of possible combinations with other elements of the wardrobe is significantly narrowed. Basically, this version of a women's sweater with a zipper with a hood is worn with skinny jeans, leggings, and narrow sports-style trousers. It is advisable to choose shoes with flat soles. A small platform is allowed.
Brave and extravagant representatives of the fair half of humanity manage to combine a cardigan with a zipper with romantic dresses made of light fabrics. But what is important here is a sense of style and impeccable taste so that the outfit does not look ridiculous.
Types of fasteners on women's sweaters
To understand the variety of women's wardrobe items, you need to know not only what types of sweaters there are, but also understand how they can be fastened. Today, the majority of the fair sex gives their preference to models with buttons, however, this is far from the only possible option.
Women's jacket with buttons
Models with a vertical row of buttons are incredibly comfortable and functional - they can be put on with snaps or over the head, worn buttoned or unbuttoned and combined with a wide variety of things and accessories. Very often, women's sweaters for every day are complemented with a vertical row of buttons - they are very comfortable to wear both with trousers or jeans, and with skirts or over dresses.
Depending on individual preferences, a fashionista can choose a laconic model with miniature buttons that are practically invisible against the general background, or a bright product in which large or shiny buttons are one of the main decorative elements. The number of such fasteners is very variable and directly depends on their size - as a rule, there are no more than three large round buttons on one product, while there can be about 8-10 or even more small ones.
Women's jacket with zipper
Different types of everyday women's sweaters are fastened in different ways - among young girls, models with a long vertical zipper, which can be unfastened with a slight movement of one hand, are extremely popular. Like the button-down, these pieces can be worn buttoned or undone - in both cases, they go well with jeans and trousers in a variety of styles.
Wardrobe items with zippers are predominantly sporty, so it is better not to combine them with deliberately feminine dresses or skirts. However, you can always play up the image from a slightly different angle - by choosing a jacket of a delicate color shade, decorated with a floral print, and complementing it with cute accessories in a romantic style, you can get an incredibly attractive look, which is also suitable for a romantic date.
Women's sweater with ties
Among the wide assortment, there are also unusual types of women's sweaters, for example, products with ties. As a rule, such models are put on over the head, and the ties on them are located only in the upper part. In addition, some variants of sweaters are secured using only one tie, which is a ribbon - in this case, it is usually located in the waist area or just under the chest.
Olympian
This sports jacket with a zipper with a hood (or without it) is very much loved by modern fashionistas. It's easy to take off when it's hot, or just unfasten it. Intended for sports, such a thing has improved characteristics in terms of heat retention and release, that is, depending on the situation, it helps regulate body temperature.
Suitable for many wardrobe items thanks to its cut. And regardless of social status and age, all representatives of the fair half of humanity can wear an Olympic jersey.
Sweatshirt
Few people know that the word “sweatshirt” is closely connected with the name of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. In the last years of his life, he wore long, plain shirts with long sleeves. Definitely let it go. Imitating the luminary of thought, the populists began to dress in the same shirts and call themselves Tolstoyans. Accordingly, the clothes were called sweatshirts.
Over time, the use of this word has expanded. Today, sweatshirts are long-sleeve, athletic-cut knitted clothing worn as a second layer. More often it is associated with a men's wardrobe. But there are also women's sweatshirts.
Depending on the cut and the presence or absence of a lock and pockets, the following types of sweatshirts are distinguished:
- Hoodie (hoodie). Essentially the English and Russian names for the same thing. The hoodie is characterized by the absence of a zipper and the presence of a hood. It is put on over the head. For sewing, cotton jersey, footer or fleece is used.
If the material is thin, then it is a long sleeve with a hood (long sleeve T-shirt).
- Kangaroo. It features patch pockets on the front similar to a kangaroo bag.
- Trowel (olympic jacket). If a sweatshirt has a zipper, then it would be more correct to call it an olympic sweatshirt. In common parlance it is often called a trowel.
- Sweatshirt. Comes from the word sweat - sweat and shirt - shirt. Its main purpose is to retain heat and absorb sweat. All sweatshirts are without a zipper, have elastic bands on the cuffs and sleeves, as well as a triangular insert under the neck. Previously, it only applied to sportswear. Hooded sweatshirts are more like hoodies.
Jacket
A bit like a jacket, only without lapels. Along with bombers and cardigans, jackets are no less popular. Both young girls and mature ladies can afford this practical jacket. Jackets, unlike other jackets with a zipper, are characterized by stricter lines. They can be in business style, casual, but very rarely in sports style.
Short models are suitable for girls whose figure is characterized by correct proportions. If you need to hide something, belly or too wide hips, it is better to give preference to longer styles.
The classic jacket does not have a hood. But in street style clothes it is appropriate, as it gives a certain carelessness and informality to the image.
The material from which jackets are made can be very diverse. Summer models are made from light fabrics. Warmer ones can be made of drape, cashmere or fur. The zipper and hood give the jacket even more practicality.
Sweater
A children's sweater is very similar to a jumper. The difference is in the collar - in sweaters it is high. Yarns for sweaters include wool, cotton, cashmere, acrylic, elastane and polyester. The knitwear itself is coarser compared to jumpers and pullovers, making the sweaters warm. Caring for a children's sweater depends on the materials, most often it is a washing temperature of up to 40 degrees Celsius and a delicate cycle. Wear with jeans, trousers and skirts. Refers to everyday style of clothing (casual).
Bomber
Probably everyone knows what it is. A bomber jacket is a hybrid of a jacket and a mid-thigh length sweater. But it also happens to the knees. Ideal item for cool weather. The classic version does not imply the presence of a hood.
But the flight of fancy of modern designers is so limitless that the bomber jacket now has it too. This model appeared quite recently. It looks very original and unusual.
A bomber jacket with a hood quickly and reliably won the hearts of fashionistas, because it has so many advantages over the classic version. It is known that not all girls like to wear hats, and a jacket with a zipper and a hood eliminates this need. It will also successfully protect against cold wind or rain if the weather suddenly turns bad and you don’t have an umbrella with you.
In addition, it is simply an effective and fashionable detail. On warmer models, the hood is decorated with fur, which makes it even more luxurious.
Usually the hood is sewn to the jacket, but in some bomber models it can be detached.
Depending on the style, this type of clothing can be worn anytime, anywhere. Elegant models in soothing colors are suitable for the office. They can be combined with classic trousers or a formal dress.
A bomber jacket in a sporty or casual style is ideal for walking outside the city. Jeans and sneakers will be a suitable addition to it.
