Forget about black and white classics - choose sweaters bright colors!

Current trends in the sweater segment

We can safely say that the motto of the new fashion year was the slogan: “Originality and diversity!”, so much attention was paid to textures, ornaments, patterns and the way of knitting sweaters, cardigans and pullovers. The year can also be called a time of high-profile comebacks - long-forgotten trends of the 70s and 80s not only penetrated this fashion segment, but literally blew up the catwalks. Among the obvious trends of the new season are the following:

  • 2017 will be built around a bright, eye-catching palette. Among the most trendy shades are bright tones of yellow, rich orange, blue, emerald, wine and mustard. However, the designers left us the opportunity to wear many calm tones - camel, very pale pink, soft blue, milk and coffee are still often found on the shows. Another bright trend is undyed camel hair, used in 2017 fashion houses Salvatore Ferragamo and Custo Barcelona;
  • The general craze for fur has led to the appearance of never-before-seen fur sweaters, knitted from thin strips of natural mink or rabbit. The pioneers of this fashion were Blumarine, Helen Yarmak, Marni and Agnona. Of course, this trend cannot yet be called mass, but girls who decide on such an experiment in their images will definitely not go wrong;
  • Modern fashion is characterized by a huge variety of styles. At the peak of trends are voluminous models that envelop the female figure in a soft cocoon. At the same time, many designers (for example, Bottega Veneta, Fausto Puglisi and Salvatore Ferragamo) presented more traditional sweaters of a tight-fitting style, designed in achromatic colors. They are perfect for creating business looks;
  • Overtly futuristic items are becoming increasingly popular, so the most daring fashionistas can choose non-stereotypical models from the collections of Angelo Marani, Pringle of Scotland, J. W. Anderson or Zoе Jordan. They used non-standard textures and the most unimaginable materials for sweaters. Well, the most daring fashionistas can choose an unusual style for themselves - for example, a sweater with one sleeve;
  • Fashion designers quite often resort to solutions in an emphatically hand-made style, so even the most aesthetically sound fashion houses, such as Ralph Lauren, you can find sweaters reminiscent of your beloved granny’s hobby;
  • Boho, which reigns on the catwalks, is reflected in this fashion segment. The decorative leader is the fringe on the cuffs, neckline or hem, which must be in contrast to the main thread;
  • Separately, it is worth mentioning sweaters in which the military style reigns with wide shoulders, large buttons, shoulder straps and other references to military style. In this segment, the color scheme is literally focused on khaki, olive and blue tone;
  • The laconic designs of the sweaters are emphasized by eye-catching elements in the form of high cowl necks and unusual voluminous sleeves. For example, Viktor & Rolf, Balenciaga, Celine, Apart, Ralph Lauren and Isabel Marant have a cozy neckline that is a worthy alternative to scarves;
  • The love for brightness is embodied in applique decor, which must be voluminous and catchy. For example, Paul & Joe and Dolce & Gabbana decided that cold days are not a reason to be in a gloomy mood, and decorated sweaters with applique cartoon characters, comic book characters, cats, butterflies and fish. Among other decorative trends, one cannot fail to note the decoration of sweaters with funny tassels and the very feminine trend for flounces, ruffles and lace inserts;
  • No less attention was paid to the quality of the yarn used. Two trends were at the peak of popularity: very thick yarn, which makes it possible to create voluminous patterns, and very fluffy mohair. On the catwalks you can also find melange, cashmere and sweaters made of yarn interspersed with sparkling lurex, like Agnona or Trina Turk;
  • The passion for eclecticism has not passed over this clothing segment. The influence of Scandinavian culture is especially acute, so it’s worth getting at least one sweater with knitted snowflakes or deer.

How to wear a sweater in 2017?

It's no secret that fashion often changes not only styles, textures or decor, but also the very way of wearing things!



When choosing a color block, try to ensure that the shades fall into the 2017 palette
  • If previously sweaters were worn exclusively over a skirt or trousers, today current trends dictate the need to tuck the pullover inside, as in shows from Brunello Cucinelli, Emporio Armani, Fendi, Diesel Black Gold and Angelo Marani.
  • The trend towards layering in the image has not been left behind, so it’s quite possible to throw a cardigan over a sweater, while wrapping your neck in a voluminous snood.
  • Sweaters made using the technique of two multi-colored blocks should be coloristically combined with other elements of the look. The top color can match the color of the hat, and the bottom color can match the tone of the skirt or trousers.
  • In 2017, fashion for femininity dictates the need to emphasize the waistline, so Laura Biagiotti, Vivienne Tam, Les Copains and Angelo Marani strongly advise wearing a leather belt over a sweater.
  • The trend for a knitted monolook, made in white, gray or cream tones, is moving by leaps and bounds to the top of the catwalks. This is exactly the image that was presented at the shows from Philosophy and Ralph Lauren.
  • No less noticeable has become the tendency to combine things that are completely different in texture, so cozy sweaters Large knits are recommended to be complemented with weightless skirts made of organza or flowing chiffon. This advice is given by designers from Angelo Marani, Alberta Ferretti, DKNY and HollyFulton.

Now let's talk about the most noticeable trends in a little more detail.

Trend #1: Current dimensionlessness



Are you embarrassed by a stretched sweater? Don't be afraid - now it's fashionable oversized!

Clothes of unspecified size are still among the most iconic trends of 2017. Oversized sweaters and jumpers are so firmly among the leaders that not a single show could be done without them. At the same time, the styles and decor presented are simply amazing!

Sonia Rykel relied on elongation, so that its models can be safely classified as mini-dresses, and Dolce&Gabbana, Iceberg, Emilio Pucci, Etro and Sportmax used all kinds of prints and bright colors. An oversized sweater made of mohair can be called a real must-have, with fluffiness in in this case should be maximum, and the color of the thread should be rich and bright.

Trend #2: Maximum Elongation



There is no minimum length limit - the longer your sweater, the better!

Long sweater styles have not gone out of fashion for several years. recent seasons. However, nothing surprising, because this particular model harmoniously combines comfort, coziness and stylish look. At the same time, many designers prefer to combine long sweaters with quite classic styles of skirts and trousers, like Agnona and Trussardi.

Emilio Pucci, Missoni, Les Copais and Etro decided to rely on a bright, elongated oversized, and Nina Ricci, Pringle of Scotland, Altewaisaome, Cristiano Buran, MaxMara and Red Valentino presented sweater-dress models that look best with high suede boots or boots-stockings made of velvet fabric.

Trend #3: Crop sweater



Crop sweater - not very winter, but certainly a very fashionable trend

Emilio Pucci and Angelo Marani confidently proved that with the end of the warm season, crop sweater models are not going to leave the fashion catwalk. It is this model that is designed to participate in the creation of the most stylish looks with jeans, trousers and skirts with a very high waist.

Moreover, such a sweater creates an advantageous combination with dresses of a tight silhouette, so this model can be used almost without restrictions, as in the shows of Les Copains, Anrealage, Balenciaga, Gucci, Brunello Cucinelli and Versace. The brightest trend in this segment of sweaters is models with very long and voluminous sleeves, as well as crop sweaters in an oversized style.

Trend #4: Bringing back the 70s



Floral design dominates every fashion segment, including sweaters

New fashion year pleases with a huge variety of prints. At the peak of popularity are floral patterns, animalistics, geometry, mosaic designs, watercolors and ethno-ornaments. At the same time, the most significant trend can easily be considered a reference to the “flower children” of the 70s, expressed in the abundance of sweaters with bright stripes and squares, mainly in black-violet, emerald-red and brown-yellow combinations.

The hippie era can also be seen in the decor made from pieces of fabric and beaded embroidery. At the same time, the designers insist that any “decoration” should look very catchy and contrast with the main color of the sweater. This statement is only confirmed by the latest shows from Victoria Beckham, Bottega Veneta, Peter Pilotto, Etro, Tods and Fay.

Trend #5: Short Sleeves



Short sleeve suitable for brave fashionistas who are not afraid of the cool weather

Sweaters with short sleeves have become an undoubted hit of the new fashion year. On the one hand, they may seem impractical for cold season, but on the other hand, they will definitely become the highlight of your stylish look, and this tips the scales in favor of this particular model.

Ideally, a sleeveless sweater should have a sharp V-neck, giving the silhouette elongation and grace. Angelo Marani, Le Kilt, Emporio Armani and Toga chose not to distract attention from the design move with short sleeves, so choose the most affordable colors and simple styles that will fit perfectly into your office look.

Trend #6: Chunky Knits



Trendy sweaters made from very thick thread - a hit of 2017

Sweaters made from natural wool are becoming more and more voluminous. This is expressed not only in the oversized style, but also in the thickness of the thread used, which can reach a whole centimeter in cross-section! The style in this case is absolutely secondary, so short and long sweaters, models with high necks and very deep necklines were named among the hits.

At the same time, stylists from Etro, Topshop Unique, Sibling, Fay, Vanessa Bruno, Simone Rocha and Isabel Marant advise wearing such a rough, deliberately stretched and even somewhat sloppy sweater with an almost transparent skirt. Preference is given to skirts made of weightless organza, textured lace or chiffon fabrics. The main rule is that the skirt should be very long.

Trend #7: Emphasis on the shoulders



At the height of fashion - delicate sweater models that sexy reveal the shoulder

The trend for emphasized femininity and fragility has led to maximum exposure of the shoulders. Aigner and Zoë Jordan offered models with slits along the entire length of the sleeves, while Banana Republic and CG equipped their sweaters with round cutouts at the shoulders. At shows from Vanessa Seward, Jason Wu, Chanel and Missoni, one could see voluminous sweater-dresses falling openly from one shoulder, which have amazing appeal and create a dizzying effect of sexual attractiveness.

Trend No. 8: Relief ornament



A voluminous braid is a classic that will make the sweater especially cozy

Smooth sweater models were clearly replaced by short and elongated products with the most convex knitting, which, in general, confirms the popularity of the 3D effect. Fashion Olympus was conquered by knitted cones, textured braids and voluminous plaits originally from the 80s. The designers managed to combine these patterns in the most incredible combinations, so you can look at this sweater for hours.

Motohiro Tanji, Laura Biagiotti, J Crew, Zoë Jordan, Michael Kors and Veronica Beard suggest pairing textured sweaters with a classic pencil skirt or stylish 7/8-length tapered trousers. Sweaters knitted by alternating knit and purl stitches, ultimately creating a “noodle” pattern, have also remained relevant - as, for example, in the latest collections of Christian Siriano, Diesel Black Gold, Courreges and Christian Dior.

Trend #9: Fringe



Ultra-comfortable fringed sweaters - great option for winter

As already mentioned, the season turned out to be rich in all kinds of decorative elements - the neck and sleeves are often trimmed with natural furs, cute tassels or soft multi-layered lace; many designers placed floral embroidery and catchy logos on the front shelf, but the most trendy decor was main element boho style - dynamic fringe.

Designers widely use such inserts to decorate cuffs, neckline or hem. At the same time, the current sweater model involves fringe, which contrasts with the main color of the thread used in knitting. At the peak of popularity are both elongated, thin fringes, like Chloe and Ralph Lauren, and decor with wide stripes, like Burberry Prorsum.

Trend #10: Puffed Sleeves



Voluminous sleeves are leading in all segments women's fashion 2017

Guru modern fashion We decided that even in a sweater, girls need maximum comfort, room for maneuver and complete freedom of movement. Therefore, the current sweater extremely delicately envelops its owner with soft folds created by fluffy mohair thread, warm wool, exquisite cashmere or soft alpaca.

An innovation in the 2017 sweater models are very voluminous puffed sleeves, which refer us to romantic trends. victorian era. These are the kind of sweaters you can see on shows from Joseph, Tommy Hilfiger, Les Copains and Sally LaPointe.

Winter is coming quickly. Designers and fashion designers catch not only global trends, but also climate change. At the end of every year fashion brands delight us with warm knitted wardrobe items.

Knitted hats

Hats with earflaps with strings and pom-poms at the ends will be popular in the 2017-2018 season. Concerning color range, then designers suggest focusing on dirty shades this season. Don't pass by hats decorated with small feathers and all kinds of rhinestones. A stocking cap and a sock hat, having migrated from last season, can become your friend, pleasant in all respects, in the 2017-2018 season.

Another fashionable headwear is a knitted beret. It will not only warm you up in cold weather, but will also add flirtatiousness to your image.


In addition to the hat, take care of equally important accessories - a scarf and gloves, or better yet, warm mittens. With this set you definitely won't be able to freeze.

Tunics with interesting elements

With all sorts of geometric patterns, these wardrobe items are very popular this season. Their most important task is to make you brighter. This is especially true in winter time, because everything around fades a little, but you continue to remain spectacular and memorable, no matter what.

The style of such products is loose, which, if necessary, will help hide figure flaws. And the length should not go beyond the knee. If, on the contrary, you want to highlight your waist, then add a knitted belt to the tunic. You can freely adjust its position - place it at the waist or in the hips.

Sweater dresses

Many women will like such clothes, primarily because they will help emphasize their sexuality. In the 2017-2018 season, dresses with a “barrel” silhouette are becoming popular. They can be voluminous embroidered figures (large pompoms), openwork sleeves, an elongated neck that transforms into a hood.

If you are a “fan” of the classics, then we advise you to opt for a plain, figure-fitting dress. Take care of thick striped tights or trousers. Then your image will be truly complete. If the dress seems too simple, then you can liven it up with a belt.

Sweaters and turtlenecks

Long chunky knit sweaters with voluminous collars will be the most fashion trend season this year. A classic knitted turtleneck with fine yarn will go well with sleeveless dresses, as well as with outerwear with sleeves to the elbow.

Coat

A knitted coat is perfect for any woman. They were popular before, but this year designers spoil us with a variety of colors and styles: geometric designs, fringe, interesting raised seams.


With such a set in 2017-2018, you will feel admiring glances and enjoy the warmth retained and received.

Poncho

Our ladies fell in love with this amazing outfit not so long ago. The most important things about this piece of clothing are the embroidery, the knitting shape and the neckline. And again, large knitting and brightness rule the roost. In fashion for the 2017-2018 season are yellowish shades and a large throat. This season, ponchos with a rare holey knit are still popular. Even if the color is monochromatic, all kinds of patterned cuts will add freshness and uniqueness to your outfit.

Bags

The bohemian style is embodied in the collections of designers Anna Sui and Vivienne Westwood. In our opinion, the creators of Rag&Bone accessories implemented the “knitted” idea most successfully. Their flannel coats and large multi-colored scarves look very elegant with large knitted bags. Moreover, the most noticeable trend of the 2017-2018 season is bags with a long belt with large embroidery. Designer Karen Walker made a splash with her latest collection, where the bags were not only beautiful, but also surprisingly practical. Large and comfortable, they are the perfect complement to a long, fitted coat.

Bracelets and beads

Don't forget about smaller, but no less noticeable accessories. Bright knitted bracelets and beads can easily make you stand out from the crowd, even if you are wearing an inconspicuous outfit. In the 2017-2018 season, wrist bracelets with bright colors are popular (for example, a combination of shades such as yellow, red, blue). As for beads, large peas in delicate shades are popular here.

Boots

These wonderful inventions of mankind can be divided into three categories: summer, glamorous and warm. In winter, boots like felt boots may suit you. The beauty of knitted boots is their malleability to deformation (provided that the knitting is not based on a solid base). In these boots you can easily change the length to your taste. And large buttons on the sides will complete your look, adding the missing zest to it.


The summer version is also very interesting and elegant. Low white boots with a small “hole” with openwork embroidery are in fashion these days. They are ideal for colorful loose-fitting dresses. As for glamorous boots, designers are ready to offer a bunch of colorful options various styles: with and without heels, long and short, with a variety of stripes and patterns.

And if this dress is knitted not by machine knitting, but by hand, then this also indicates the uniqueness of the product.


Knitted dresses: from past to present

It is curious that lace was considered an important attribute of the wardrobe of any noble lady, but only commoners wore knitted dresses.


For a long time, hand-knitted dresses were worn by women from the poor, and only with the advent of the 20th century the situation changed. Modern technical progress came into fashion and light industry, bringing with it new machines and technological processes for processing wool, cotton and creating high-quality synthetic threads.


Knitting threads have become thinner, stronger and brighter, and advances in physics and chemistry have made it possible not only to use merino and alpaca yarn, but also to use viscose, microfiber or polyamide.


Technologists and designers of leading companies producing yarn for hand and machine knitting offer yarn with different percentages of components: for example, 50% merino wool and 50% acrylic.


And if the first threads for knitting dresses were not so delicate and could hardly compete with fabric in terms of color range, today’s yarn is a very high-quality material that allows you to create real masterpieces of women’s clothing using knitting needles, crochet or a knitting machine.


It is noteworthy that hand-knitted dresses are ideal for all ages: from tiny babies to adult women. Modern knitting magazines offer patterns for a wide variety of patterns, and one pattern is not similar to another.


The silhouettes and styles of knitted dresses amaze with their diversity: romantic, strict, straight, fluffy, embossed, openwork, tapered, loose, etc. In 2017, knitted dresses with elements of braids and chunky knitting will be fashionable.


As for the color scheme, knitted dresses in bright colors are ideal for children, teenagers and girls. Mature and elderly women choose discreet or dark colors. Creating a knitted dress is part of creative needlework, so all knitted models have a bold look and ease.


Fashionable knitted dresses: crochet or knitting

How can you knit a dress? A beautiful dress made of yarn can be crocheted or knitted. And there is no clear answer to the question of which of the above items is most suitable for knitting a dress. It all depends on the desire of the needlewoman and her ideas, as well as personal experience.


As a rule, the crochet hook is used for knitting openwork summer dresses, and the best threads are cotton. Cotton moves easily through fingers, it does not fray and easily fits into patterns. In addition, cotton does not stretch, does not lose its characteristics after washing and does not cause itching or allergic reactions on the skin.


Summer dresses should be light and airy, and with the help of a crochet hook you can create the most intricate patterns. The only point is that crocheted dresses can be worn on the beach, on a walk, or to wear such a dress to a party.
