History of Cardigan Collars

   History of collars is a history of almost all types of collars, armholes and neck ornaments, known to the world. Renaissance was noted with a fashion collar Stewart, tough stand-up collar with a frill chin. Now, fur, lace and ruffles decorate for the most part women's clothes. Fur collar, may be not only outerwear, but elegant dress or sweater. The collar Stewart turned into a stylish collar with ruffles at the women's blouse, according to conventional wisdom adorns and softens the severity of a business suit, giving it a slight coquetry. I have encountered such a sweater with the Stewart collar in Kohls Coupons recently. In the twenties of the XVII century it is becoming popular with a large turn-down collar or a Swedish one. In the higher classes, it was trimmed with lace; the Protestants, the Huguenots and the common people were wearing it without laces. A huge variety of turndown today provides space for their creative application: small collars refer to some tradition, great collar – yoke is a wonderful decoration that is even a modest cut things attached to some things, such as a cardigan sweater. Only at the end of the XVIII century in France and then in other European countries English cloth coat with a standing-turn-down collar had been appeared, which is now called English or classic. This type of collar is available for both sexes, but women have mastered it to perfection. Each of the fair sex knows how many buttons to unbutton his collar to be uniquely beautiful, and it's really true - V-neck, which forms the collar unbuttoned, his neck extends and emphasizes the clavicle, and buttoned up tightly just to create a rigorous and elegant image of a business woman. Szabo appeared in European dress in the XVII century as an indispensable part of the pure white, lace-lined men's shirts, which was a sign of true panache and wealth. Szabo is an element of a very vivid and expressive woman, and is used differently. After all, with similar decorations on the chest, you can visually highlight it and make the shape more expressive. But there are parts that are decorative only over time. For example, a knitted collar, which is now used not only to the turtleneck, but on different kinds of jackets and sweaters, originally served as a very practical function. In the XIX century turtleneck was used as a warm underwear that fits under the top metal suit first divers. And a high gate, wrapped in two or three times was coined precisely in order to protect the diver's neck from unpleasant touching his suit and helmet. In the use of this feature only one thing is: if you do not have a long neck, it is better to choose a collar-yoke, which opens up the neck in front, visually extending it. When it comes to bows and their role in the history of fashion, is always the French King Louis XIV, in which the bows adorned everything. But even he was not the first, bows are known from much earlier times. Later, when in 1660's a collar-yoke was very fashionable, as a prototype of the bow, which is now so fashionable to adorn women's sweaters. This season bows are on a boom. Silk blouse with a bow now fashionable to wear with pants and skirts made of thick fabric to balance its transparency and femininity.
