This neoprene trend has been on the market for a long time now and
I totally get the hype. Its super soft and fluffy texture, it creates the stiff, bulky, and voluminous construction that makes it very eye catching, plus it's super thick yet super stretchy (bonus point; it doesn't fray and has a very smooth edge when you cut it so you don't need to overlock it when you sew).
Alexander Wang's neoprene sweater was everything and I took some inspirations from his collection with the nets and the neoprene combined. This sweater was neglected for awhile after I started cutting my neoprene cause I was busy with school. But now that holiday is here I figured I needed to make full use of my free time so I had to finish what had to be finished; which in this case my neoprene sweater. It was really quick to sew cause I came up with a really simple pattern and I didn't sew the hem and the end of the sleeves, nor did I had a ribbing on the neckline, because I really wanted that raw yet clean edges that neoprene has. I used a thick mint neoprene and a fabric that sort of resembles nets.
