Examples of clothing bows in different styles. Fashion style


In the fashion industry, we often come across the concept "style", "style icon", and in everyday life we ​​often hear such a phrase: "have your own style." When choosing clothes, we, first of all, focus on those things that we like, are offered in fashion magazines, are popular among girlfriends, or those that we can generally find in the retail chain. Let's talk today about what the very concept of style is, as well as what is really necessary in order to possess it.


Style, in translation, is a certain set of features that characterize an individual manner of self-expression in any area. Style can be musical, artistic, architectural, but today we are talking about the style of clothing, which means a certain set of features that characterize a particular ensemble (suit).


The second meaning of this interesting word comes from the Greek "stylus" - a bronze rod with a pointed end, used for spelling on waxed tablets. The revival of this subject occurred quite recently, along with the advent of communicator phones.


But back to style. Having found out what this concept means in itself, at this stage, let's look at what styles are in fashionable clothes and how they are characterized. So, first of all, let's define 3 main styles: classic, romantic and sporty.



Classics in clothes like classical music. These are time-tested, discreet lines and shapes that are always relevant, and are the basis for creating various other styles. I think that few women are not familiar with the classic style of clothing, which is also called business, therefore, this concept does not require detailed explanations. Well-known fashion designers advise - if you are in doubt about buying a new thing, not knowing which fashion trend to give preference to - buy a classic. In it, you will always look confident and flawless, you can wear it in any situation, and not be afraid to look ridiculous.



- Romantic clothing style- akin to the classics, but less strict, combines the simplicity of lines with the lightness of forms and a large abundance of small details.


Historical styles similar to it could be called and (which means artsy, bizarre, curled, intricate). Romantic style goes to almost all women, meaning softness, femininity and tenderness, gives each of them charm, charm and spontaneity. Clothes in a romantic style are dresses with frills, ruffles, flounces, frill collars, blouses with lace, loose sleeves, flared trousers, as well as light, flowing fabrics - chiffon, silk, lace, thin cotton, delicate knitwear, guipure and etc.



Sportswear. I think that a lot of clarifications are also not needed here - sports style is currently one of the most popular and widespread among today's youth. And, in my opinion, in vain. Young girls deprive themselves quite a lot by hiding their feminine forms under a mask of convenience, because I give you a cut-off - any, the most trendy thing in a sports style, will not be able to decorate its owner like a feminine blouse or dress. Therefore, if you want to make a lasting impression on a man, I wholeheartedly advise you to shove your favorite tops and T-shirts away on the shelf and wear something truly feminine. And there is absolutely no need to be afraid - he will appreciate it, you'll see. The most feminine ensemble in a sporty style will be a skirt and leggings.


Over time, a huge number of different styles and their varieties have appeared, which are primarily due to visits to various cultural places of residence, age, gender, lifestyle, and are dictated mainly by the appropriate dress code:



Clothing style "Oxford". Came to us from England, bears the name of the university of the same name. It implies the severity of lines, combined with the density of forms and a restrained palette of tones, refers to varieties of the classical style. These are the clothes of pupils and students - blouses, plaid skirts, vests, pullovers, suits, coats made of dense fabric in muted tones, in the colors of which Scottish plaid often dominates.



It speaks for itself and suggests a certain dress code that has been formed in a wide system of clubs. Includes features of many other styles - sports, casual, glamorous, evening. Characteristic clothes - jeans, T-shirt, belt with a large buckle, elegant jacket, turtleneck, top, miniskirt, short dress. Differs in silhouettes adjoining on a figure "in sticking", has at the same time free and sexual character. It stands out with bright, shiny fabrics that reflect the light of night discos and allow you to most favorably distinguish yourself from a huge crowd.
I cannot but note the sad fact that among our Slavic youth the club style is used excessively often and for other purposes - some girls can calmly appear in this form at college, or simply go for a walk, thereby violating all the rules of accepted etiquette, and creating clothes used out of place, an image of cheap glamour.



Country style- literally "rustic", farmer's, rural style. Long skirts, loose pullovers, coarse prints, cowboy boots and hats, chunky knits. Country style is somewhat similar to romantic, but more rough, it has more straight lines and simplicity of forms. It has its own special personality and suits most women. A long, loose skirt in combination with rough, leather, straight-heeled, wide boots looks especially beautiful in country style.



street fashion(city street style). It originated in Tokyo as an alternative to the starry glamor imposed by gloss. It differs, as a rule, by mixing several styles, drawing up characteristic ensembles of clothes that are both comfortable and most fashionable, allowing you to feel great on the street, and at the same time, stand out from the crowd. It can be a wide sweater in combination with tight jeans, a romantic dress with a warm cardigan and beret thrown over it, a jacket with a long, warm scarf thrown over it, afghani trousers and other clothes. It is very popular in Europe, has the spirit of freedom, carelessness and youth, helps to express one's own confidence and individuality.



Bohemian clothing style, usually owned by the intelligentsia and creative people of art. It often has a brightly individual, somewhat extravagant character. This style is characterized by accents on certain details - for example, a colorful scarf on a gray suit, famously lowered to one side, a knitted beret, or another individual manifestation of a particular person. Most often found in artists, musicians, artists, people who are not alien to non-standard stage images and creative thinking. It is actively used by modern showmen and other people from the field of art.



Ethno style He borrowed his origin from various nationalities with their characteristic features of national clothes. Free and comfortable, akin to national costumes, these outfits are usually made in bright colors, with folklore patterns and cut features. Ethno style is usually very colorful, attractive, and loved by many who use its elements in their clothes: dresses, scarves, shawls, bags, boots, outerwear and much more.



Exotic clothing style Similar to ethnic, differing by and large in some fantasy and the use of natural motifs. Particularly popular in the exotic style are images of African nature - the jungle and savannas, floral prints, leopard colors, green, white, and the color of a blazing sunset. Literally everything is done in an exotic style - dresses, bags, blouses and trousers, various accessories, outerwear. Exotic style elements can be found in the wardrobe of almost every girl, whether it be a light scarf, glasses, shoes, handbag or purse.


There are also several more interesting styles, due to the personal preferences of each person:


1. Glamorous style (luxury and charm)
2. Military (uniform and camouflage)
3. Safari (African hunting with a predominance of beige and khaki)
4. Casual (everyday comfortable)
5. Marine style (with a predominance of stripes of white, red and blue)
6. Extravagant style (exquisitely artsy, in order to attract attention)
7. Thrash style (the main rule is not to have any rules)



Trash style


The concept of style in clothing can also be determined by the historical era: there are terms such as Greek style of clothing, Victorian, style of the 60s, vintage, etc.
Varieties include other styles that have arisen under the influence of the crushing of various subcultures: informal, hippie, glam rock, punk, grunge, etc.


We have considered the concept of style, and now let's talk about what is necessary in order to possess it.


Each style implies the desire of a person to express himself and show himself in the best light. Therefore, you must decide for yourself what is closer, more pleasant, more convenient and necessary for you. It is useless to make yourself a cowboy if you are a modest office worker, as well as to induce glamor for going to the grocery market. In short, when choosing a style, you should consider 4 things:


Personal preferences


Work, hobbies, habitat - communication


Features of your figure


Fashion trends


In a word, you should understand well what exactly suits you, where you can wear it, and what exactly you want to say. At the same time, you should at least roughly imagine which things will be successfully combined with each other, and which will not. More important here are the basic laws of fashionable silhouettes, the concept of shapes and generally accepted colors. Mastering all this is not at all difficult if you understand one simple rule - all silhouettes are divided into top and bottom, based on the general beauty of lines, harmony of shapes and the most personal colors. Based on this, it is easy to understand that two super-volume things - a wide sweater and loose trousers, for example, will not look harmoniously together. In the same way, two silhouettes that are too tight will not look too good. An exotic leopard blouse cannot be paired with colorful trousers, and an ethnic-style sweater cannot be worn with a business office skirt. You need to combine styles with each other competently and skillfully, but do not be afraid to experiment and discover something new for yourself. Over time, having mastered the rules of combination, you yourself will feel what suits you the most, and this feeling will help in developing your own individual style.



Who are style icons?


A style icon in the fashion industry is usually called a person who most successfully conveyed in his own image the characteristic features of a particular fashion style, combined with his own individual preferences. At least for a while, almost everyone can become a style icon - for this you just need to have good taste and a good understanding of fashion trends, be honest with yourself, and also have your own, well-founded opinion.

A romantic skirt with lush frills can now be worn with a T-shirt with a brutal rockers print, and with a classic “pencil” it is appropriate to wear sweatshirts and polo shirts, which were originally considered sportswear. Ideally, you need to have several capsules:

  • clothes for work and study;
  • for outdoor activities and travel;
  • smart clothes (for celebrations, parties, etc.);
  • "Party", corresponding to the hobbies in your circle of friends.

The main influence on the choice of style is exerted by age and lifestyle. A young guy in a classic suit will look normal in a lyceum and at a celebration, but not in a nightclub or at a rollerdrome, and a respectable man will look ridiculous in skater clothes. A babydoll dress will suit a young girl and a slender young woman, but it will not cause tenderness on a lady of Balzac age and with curvaceous forms.

What is a clothing style and why is it important to find your own?

To begin with, let's try to define what a style of clothing is.

So, the style of clothing is a certain set of features by which many things, sets and clothes, as such, can be divided into certain categories or types.

Style depends on various factors, such as age, social and financial status, nationality and mentality, lifestyle and work, musical preferences, religious beliefs, physique and much more.

And yet why is it so important to decide which style is close to you? First of all, this is necessary so that you feel harmonious, so that your outer "I" reflects your inner. Well, as a nice bonus, having found your style, you will not get lost in the endless rows of clothes in stores and will easily begin to make the necessary purchases, knowing exactly what you need.

There are a huge number of stylistic trends in the world, below we will consider the main ones: classic style, casual, sports style, glamour, boho, ethnic, grunge, romantic style, preppy, minimalism, eclecticism, new look, lingerie style, pajama style, retro style and military style.

Classic style

The classic or, as it is also commonly called, conservative style is characterized by restraint and conciseness, high quality and a certain basicity. Clothing of this style is especially good for teachers and office workers, scientific conferences and meetings.

The classic style does not accept the introduction of fleeting trends, such as a choker, crop top, ruffles, etc., as well as bright colors and defiant prints. Black, gray, beige, dark blue - this is the range of this stylistic direction. Simple cut and simplicity of details, stability and moderate modesty.

Perhaps the classical style is a kind of foundation and base, it was like that 50 years ago, now it will remain so, decades later. This style is timeless and fashionable.

Casual (Casual)

Casual (casual) is perhaps one of the most popular stylistic trends among most fashionistas from around the world. No wonder that in translation it sounds like “everyday”.

What he really is? Firstly, it is always comfort and convenience, pleasant fabrics that do not constrain styles, a certain softness and flexibility. The key elements among the clothes are: many favorite jeans, shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, jumpers and sweatshirts, sneakers, plain comfortable shoes, ballet flats, etc.

As for the color scheme, it is much more diverse than in the above-mentioned classic style, but bright neon colors are just as out of place, unlike noble blue, grass green, mustard yellow, etc.

Sport style

Sports style - as easy as shelling pears, you might think, they say that they go to the gym and fitness. No, no, and no again) Sports style includes sports elements, but not clothes for sports. Sweatshirts, T-shirts, T-shirts, baggy pants, walking shoes, sneakers, caps and backpacks are the basis of this stylistic direction.

The sports style is convenient and comfortable, this clothing does not constrain movements and does not fit the figure, it is created for active people who love movement and adventure.

Rather bright colors would be quite appropriate in it, but in moderation, for example, inserts on a sweatshirt, or stripes on sneakers. Jewelry, in turn, should be chosen minimalistic and small in size, although, if possible, it is better to completely abandon them, preferring the same sports watch - both an accessory and a benefit so as not to be late).

Glamor

Unfortunately, in modern realities, when pronouncing the word “glamour”, many people have in their heads the image of a provincial girl with bright makeup, in a shiny dress, neckline and shoes with crazy heels. This notion of glamor style is false.

Real glamor is chic, it's brilliance, but always moderate and knowing its own worth. Glamor is expensive fabrics, silk, precious stones, fur. Glamor is hair to hair, gloss and grooming 24/7.

boho

Boho is the style of music festivals, the style of freedom-loving and creative people. This stylistic direction is characterized by: soft natural fabrics, lace, prints, tassels on clothes, bandages and hats on the head, large sunglasses, sandals or boots somewhat in a cowboy style, jewelry on long chains, belts with metal inserts and fringe. Boho does not tolerate deliberate sexuality, precise lines, rigor and excessive accuracy, on the contrary, this style likes some disheveledness.

Ethno style

Ethno is vaguely reminiscent of boho, but still completely different. It is characterized by natural fabrics, spacious styles and prints, which are a symbol of a particular culture. For example, it can be: embroidered shirt, kimono, jacket or bag with an Aztec print, etc.

Jewelry in this style will be especially memorable, they are always bright, rather large, original and eye-catching.

grunge

Translated from English, "grunge (grunge)" sounds like "unkempt". For the most part, this is the style of teenagers and their youthful maximalism, the exact opposite of luxury and glamour, the style of tearaways and hooligans.

The main characteristics of this stylistic direction are: ripped jeans, checkered shirts with rolled up sleeves, T-shirts, often wrinkled, sneakers or rough boots, a slight mess on the head. This style will be appreciated by lovers of convenience and owners of a rebellious spirit, those who want to take a break from everyday tinsel and just enjoy life without worrying about protruding threads or a hairstyle spoiled by the wind.

romantic style

Romantic style is the style of young and sweet girls who, even after growing up, believe in a fairy tale a little. These are delicate dresses, floral prints, lace, frills and flounces, pastel shades, small bags and straw hats. These are feminine silhouettes, but without passion and deep necklines, this is modesty and coquetry.

Preppy

Preppy is the style of an eternal student, because it is not for nothing that the very name of the stylistic direction comes from “pre-college”, which translates as “preparatory educational institution”. The main characteristics of preppy are: calm deep colors, checkered and striped prints, tweed and cashmere fabrics, A-line skirts, moderate pleated shirts, laconic cuts, jackets, vests, brogues, loafers, briefcase or messenger bag.

Minimalism

Minimalism is a style of self-confident people and lovers of simplicity. It is characterized by calm colors, such as black, white, gray, beige, the absence of decorative elements, whether it be ruffles or embroidery. To create a really stylish and good image in this direction, you need to pay great attention to the quality of clothing, it must be on top.

It is also worth considering that since minimalism does not tolerate brightness and an explosion of colors, then all attention will be riveted directly to yourself, and not to clothes, so you must always have a neat hairstyle and makeup.

Eclecticism

You have probably seen photos from street style at least once during the fashion week, and so most often you can meet representatives of the eclectic style on them.

What he really is? Eclecticism is a combination of the incongruous, these are sports trousers and high-heeled shoes, this is a down jacket and shorts, this is a T-shirt and a turtleneck. It would seem that going out into the street in such an absurd outfit, you would immediately want to fall into the ground. Therefore, true lovers of eclecticism are always brave people who do not pay attention to the opinions and views of others. If you like to draw attention to your person and create excitement around her, then take a closer look at this direction.

New bow

New look is one of the most feminine and luxurious styles, for which we must thank the fashion house Dior. A new look is always grace and a certain aristocracy, these are fluffy skirts and a pronounced waist, these are gold clip-on earrings or earrings and strings of pearls, these are gloves and wide-brimmed hats, pumps and neat styling.

Linen style

Lingerie style is relatively young, however, has won the sympathy of many fashionistas from around the world. Based on the name, you can guess that the clothes of this direction are very similar to underwear - silk, lace, pastel embroidery, thin straps, deep neckline.

Definitely this style is for courageous and self-confident girls, as well as very athletic and fit, as it still implies the presence of a chiseled figure so that the image looks harmonious, and not comical.

Fashion today is followed by most modern girls, but no matter how diverse and powerful it may be, it is too changeable and short-lived, which cannot be said about style. After all, it is thanks to the style that you can create an individual and unique image, and at the same time look fashionable and distinctive from others.
