One of the key tendencies of the season has become an ambiguous and, yes, there is a rather shocking thing - a harness. Following Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele, the designers unanimously decided that this provocative wardrobe, which used to be associated exclusively with the adult store's assortment, is now nothing more than a fashionable must-have.
Gucci suggested rethinking the traditional leather harness and wearing it as a kind of top, over feminine dresses, or as an independent "combat unit", complementing it with a skirt or trousers.
Vera Wang has added rivets and fringes to the harness to make the already catchy accessory look even more impressive. You will definitely not be able to remain unnoticed in such leather ammunition!
Julia Watanabe in her collection has demonstrated almost all possible variations of the weave of leather belts. There are even models inspired by the good old soldier's harnesses that can be found in museums of military uniforms. True, here they are made of scarlet leather with an embossed crocodile ... Well, maybe in the future they will also end up in a museum, at least for a costume ...
Y / Project and Michael Kors have crossed the harness with clothes, and it's hard to tell where one starts and the other ends. And is it necessary ...
And Christopher Kane did create "shoulder straps" from plastic, filled with liquid and decorated with massive crystals and rhinestones. Such an accessory looks extremely unusual, and it looks a little like the "progenitor", but there is something that nevertheless unites them: you can wear this "aquarium" over any clothes: including the top one. The tandem of a blue harness and a white coat was recognized as almost the most spectacular in the collection.
How to choose a harness
Consider your body type
Tall and thin women of fashion look better in thin straps, young ladies with more rounded shapes - in harnesses, where the stripes are thicker, but "Kustodian" beauties should pay attention to frame corsets and wide "belts" that will create a waist where it is for you required. Any harness visually enlarges, so if you have massive shoulders or large breasts, then perhaps this trend is not quite for your wardrobe. Although, here is Kim Kardashian does not think so.
Don't be afraid to stand out
It is worth remembering: any harness is a catchy and accent thing, which one way or another will attract the views of others to you. Are you shy? Then this accessory is perhaps not for you.
With what and how to wear a fashionable harness
With graphic earrings
When putting on a harness, limit yourself to minimalistic jewelry that will sound in tune with the hardware of your leather "combat friend". For example, choose earrings in the form of strict geometric shapes - a triangle, rectangle or classic, not too massive rings.
With short layered chains
Leather "belts", more reminiscent of a part of a corset or a piece of samurai ammunition, are worn with plain dresses, elongated jumpers, romantic dresses in small flowers, voluminous knits and all kinds of coats. If the ammunition is worn over a classic shirt, then a short multi-layer necklace of several chains can be added to the neck. Again, choose the model that will not overload the image, but will only add a contrasting metallic "flare" to it.
With "gothic" decorations
This option is not for the faint-hearted mods, but for the most desperate trendsetters. Focusing on the Gucci collection. We boldly put on harnesses made of many thin leather or fabric stripes over a white bulk shirt or a romantic lace dress, adding dramatic embellishments in the form of crosses and chokers to the look. By the way, try replacing the "brutal" options with more graceful ones - a choker, for example, may not be made of leather, like Gucci's, but of velvet or organza.
We wear chain belts, chain mail and other metal structures over chiffon blouses, satin combinations and evening velvet dresses. We select decorations for them from metal to match the ammunition. And, most importantly, we walk all this beauty boldly!
By the way, wearing a harness obliges you to keep your posture, so, applying this trend in practice, you will surely stop stooping and walk not only with your back straight, but also with your head held high. Solid pluses!
