THE HISTORY OF THE CREW NECK JUMPER
Many different designs feature the classic crew neck, whether it is a sweater or a t-shirt this design is seen everywhere. It all started in 1932 when the first crew neck t-shirt was developed. The crew neck was made with a lightweight breathable material so that you were able to layer it with many different things and so you were able to wear it in the summer on its own without becoming too hot.
The crew neck t-shirt was first made as an undergarment for American footballers as it absorbed sweat and helped them to feel more comfortable when wearing their gear during games. The crew neck is classed as an ‘American style’ sweater no matter the material, shape or style because of where it originally came from. After the footballers started to wear them they became more popular to wear during everyday life. They are still a staple for both men and women in fashion today, and are used on many designs for different styles of top, but is still something you see on at least one person everyday.
When it comes to styling the crew neck anything goes, you can pair it with many different items of clothing either dressing it up or down to what occasion you are trying to dress for.
