American style
America. The first thing associated with this word is New York (Manhattan), Hollywood, the film industry and so on. Anything but fashion. At first glance, it should be so. Indeed, in the whole world Paris is considered the fashion capital. It was France who educated many famous fashion designers such as: Jean - Paul Gautier, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, etc.
On the other hand, one of the first things we pay attention to when watching American films or TV shows is a special style of clothing that everyone wants to copy from the very first minutes.
Modern American style of dress was formed quite long and difficult. One of the first prerequisites was the era of the 20s. The era of Gabrielle Chanel, who created the image of a simple American worker. Then, there was the 40th - the time of Dior and his new feminine images. In the 60s, movements of feminists and pacifists develop, “smell” in the air of freedom, the removal of canons, the blurring of boundaries between the sexes. And finally, the 80s give rise to a new grotesque style - neoclassicism.
All this mixing of styles, their gradual development, acquired the character of randomness, spontaneity.
As Y. Goebbels said: “all ingenious is simple.” The style of modern Americans is not in beauty and grace, but, above all, in convenience and comfort. The simpler the clothes, the better. Here it is - freedom.
Now every second person dreams to visit this unusual, multinational and very free country.
Distinctive features of style
To feel like you are among strangers, a guy should buy a pair of three extremely simple, but unrealistically comfortable cool things:
- Sweatpants (in addition to designer crosses);
- A pair of dimensionless sweatshirts with a geometric or cartoon print;
- As many T-shirts as possible that fit the body a little;
- Jeans, jeans and more jeans. Denim is one of the most popular fabrics in America, especially among teenagers and young people;
- The jacket is suede or khaki wool in cowboy style;
- Leather Jacket;
- A shirt in a cage, preferably in a large one.
You should wear the most comfortable shoes, preferably from genuine leather, suede, perhaps moccasins. Shoes from Americans in a special honor.
When creating an image, you can pay attention to the hat. A suede jacket with jeans will perfectly complement a cowboy hat. And in the US, it will not look inappropriate. And for sweatpants and sweatshirts, a baseball cap would be the best option.
The dressing room of an American teenager should “break” on the amount of old forgotten, not long worn things. Whether it is a grandmother's dress or mother's jacket 30 years old. All is useful. Not having the opportunity to buy branded items for themselves, teenagers, without even noticing it, introduced fashion to faded jeans, patched T-shirts, voluminous sweatshirts, inherited from a former guy or older brother. Girls' favorite clothes are denim shorts, they are worn in any weather. All these styles look very natural and surprisingly harmonious.
Shoes - exclusively sports.
A minimum of makeup, a maximum of jewelry (a lot of bracelets, earrings - rings, pendants on chains).
In clothing, layering, the combination of incompatible.
In order to become a girl - American and understand their style, it is necessary to relate to life easier, to be always in motion.
For girls in America, they are characterized by long fees for the usual trip to the store or taking out the garbage. Americans prefer speed and convenience. They choose functional outfits - for all occasions.
The blurring of the hemispheric boundaries has borne fruit. Women in the United States are increasingly dressing "as men."No one will be surprised by a girl walking down the street in a classic suit and men's shoes or in a jacket 2 sizes larger. They add women's accessories to men's clothing, then the image will look more harmonious.
Everything should be appropriate and natural. From makeup to shoes. By the way, about her. A woman in America is rarely seen in heels, especially in everyday life. They prefer a flat sole: ballet flats, espadrilles, sandals with thin straps or wedges. All this should be from natural materials.
For social events choose evening fitting dresses to the floor and, of course, heels. Required from famous designers: Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, etc.
Color spectrum
There can be absolutely anyone. Older women, unlike teenagers, deviate from bright colors. Prefer white, black, pastel gentle tones. Ornaments, large stripes in the form of a logo of a famous brand or portraits of pop artists, actors, prints in the form of food, heroes of comics, films, etc. are also popular.
Makeup
Naturalness, above all. It is difficult to meet a young American who would draw herself arrows to go shopping for food. In everyday life, they seek to show their natural beauty using natural cosmetics and putting on a minimum of makeup (weightless mineral powder, a little ink and rouge, light, barely noticeable gloss on the lips).
What is the American style of clothing
It is impossible to name this style somehow definitely. Fashion in America - a mixture of styles that came from different countries. Borrowing any detail from each (elegance and simplicity from France, leather, denim and bright prints from Italy), America has created its own unique style bit by bit that you want to copy.
