Time flies, fashion changes, and boundaries disappear or are greatly pushed back, opening up more freedom for experimentation in creating stylish looks.
At first, people did not wear clothes, then they covered individual parts of their bodies with rags. Then clothes appeared, and over time people became increasingly covered with them. The more clothes appeared, the more rules for wearing them, frames, and restrictions appeared. Over time, of course, all this was transformed and changed many times depending on the values and ideals of the era.
Let us remember today the simplest thing: men in trousers with jackets, women exclusively in dresses and skirts. So, at the beginning of the 19th century, men's jackets were transformed into tailored jackets - “spensers” and migrated to women’s wardrobes, they were worn with Victorian-style dresses. And only then, only at the beginning of the 20th century, with the advent of emancipation and the struggle for rights, trousers, then shorts, came into the women's wardrobe.
And now, finally, in the 21st century, we can safely say that there are practically no limits for us in terms of wearing and combining wardrobe items and accessories. We can wear anything and in any variations.
A strict men's suit on a fragile girl? Yes please! More recently, they could only be worn with shoes, then with boots, and now they can be worn with sneakers. A suit is actually the canvas on which you can paint your image into either a business style or a sporty casual style. Unobtrusive accessories in the form of earrings will add femininity. And accessories in the form of a cap represent sporty audacity.
A feminine dress with rough boots or jockey boots, Cossack boots and a leather jacket will make the look complex and interesting. By combining what is impossible to combine at first glance, playing with contrasts, you create an image that will not leave you unnoticed.
You can wear boots not only in winter and autumn, and not only with winter clothes. You can wear it in summer and spring, with shorts, for example. And sandals with socks are a real must-have this season. Once upon a time, our grandmothers and mothers already wore socks with shoes, but under dresses. We have only seen shoes with shorts in American films. Today we can afford much more.
A white shirt with a men's cut for all occasions? Certainly! Firstly, white is the very color that suits absolutely all types. It makes the face fresher and younger. Secondly, a simple white shirt is a win-win option to look stylish and interesting.
In 1998, Sharon Stone herself wore a white Gap shirt with a floor-length satin skirt from Vera Wang at the 1998 Academy Awards. Even then (it would seem quite recently) it attracted a lot of criticism. And now a white shirt is the way out of any unclear situation. As they say: “If you don’t know what to wear, put on a white shirt.”
Oversize men's jacket? A win-win option, both to emphasize the fragility of the body, and an excellent opportunity to hide figure flaws. Moreover, it’s easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Just like a white shirt goes with all styles.
Jeans! Many people still argue about how and where, and when exactly they came to us. But in the 1800s, jeans began to be mass-produced into clothing for workers. Nowadays, there is probably no girl who doesn’t have jeans in her wardrobe. After all, jeans are an almost integral part of any rational wardrobe. They are presented in a huge variety of styles and colors. Moreover, they, like all of the above items, can be worn for any convenient occasion. They are especially good in casual and urban chic styles.
Just recently, it would have been unthinkable to imagine such combinations of clothing and accessories. And today, when “everything is possible,” the main thing is not to be afraid to try and experiment. The more complex and multi-layered the image, the higher the claim for stylistic success. We must take advantage of the absolute freedom of our time and the variety of choice on both offline and online platforms.
