The coming rainy days and sub-zero temperatures dictate their own dress code rules, but women still want to look elegant. And here crocheted and knitted sweaters, jackets and cardigans will be very appropriate. A jacket is a piece of woolen knitted clothing for the upper body with a fastening from bottom to top in the front. The jacket became the basis for the appearance of other items of shoulder knitted clothing - sweaters, pullovers, jumpers, jackets. It is worth noting that even if a jacket has a high, buttoned collar, it is more correct to call it a jacket rather than a sweater. The jacket as a piece of clothing has been known for many centuries. According to some sources, sweaters were knitted and worn in ancient Egypt. It is absolutely known that sweaters were worn as an insulating layer in clothing in Europe starting from the 13th century. Jacket (French) - short women's outerwear, a shortened version of the jacket, usually waist-length. Sometimes the length of the jacket can reach mid-thigh. The classic jacket has a semi-fitting silhouette. The length of such a jacket can reach the hip line. French fashionistas knitted jackets for themselves already in the 13th-15th centuries. One of the varieties of sweaters is a cardigan (English cardigan) - a knitted wool jacket that fits the figure, without a collar, with a deep neckline, maybe with buttons.
