American style in clothes
America. The first thing that is associated with this word is New York (Manhattan), Hollywood, the film industry and so on. Anything but fashion. At first glance, this is as it should be. After all, Paris is considered the fashion capital of the world. It was France that brought up many of the most famous couturiers, such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, 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 literally from the first minutes.
The modern American style of dress was formed for a long time 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 were the 40s - the time of Dior and his new feminine images. In the 60s, the movements of feminists and pacifists developed, the air "smells" of freedom, the removal of canons, the blurring of boundaries between the sexes. And, finally, the 80s give birth to a new grotesque style - neoclassical.
All this mixture of styles, their gradual development, acquired the character of chaos, spontaneity.
As J. Goebbels said: "everything 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 of visiting this unusual, multinational and very free country.
Distinctive style features
To feel at home among strangers, a guy should buy a couple of three extremely simple, but unrealistically comfortable cool things:
- Sweatpants (in addition to designer sneakers);
- A pair of oversized hoodies in 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 adults;
- Jacket in suede or khaki wool in cowboy style;
- Leather Jacket;
- Plaid shirt, preferably large.
It is worth putting on the most comfortable shoes on your feet, preferably made of genuine leather, suede, possibly moccasins. Americans have special respect for shoes.
When creating an image, you can pay attention to the headdress. A suede jacket with jeans is the perfect complement to a cowboy hat. And in the US, it will not look out of place. And for sweatpants and sweatshirts, a baseball cap is the best option.
The dressing room of an American teenager should “break” from the number of old forgotten, not worn things for a long time. Whether it's a grandmother's dress or a 30-year-old mother's jacket. Everything will come in handy. Not being able to buy branded items for themselves, teenagers, without noticing it, introduced the fashion for worn jeans, patched T-shirts, voluminous sweatshirts inherited from an ex-boyfriend or older brother. Girls' favorite clothes are denim shorts, wear them 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).
The clothes are layered, a combination of the incongruous.
In order to become an American girl and understand their style, you need to take life easier, be always on the move.
For girls in America, long fees are typical for the usual trip to the store or taking out the trash. Americans prefer speed and convenience. They choose functional outfits for all occasions.
The blurring of gender boundaries has borne fruit. Women in the US are increasingly dressing like men. No one will be surprised by a girl walking down the street in a classic suit and men's boots 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 flat soles: ballet shoes, espadrilles, sandals with thin straps or wedges. All this should be from natural materials.
For social events, they choose evening tight-fitting dresses to the floor and, of course, heels. Mandatory from famous designers: Giuseppe Zanotti, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and others.
Color spectrum
It can be absolutely anyone. Older women, unlike teenagers, move away from bright colors. Prefer white, black, pastel delicate colors. Also popular are ornaments, large patches in the form of the logo of a famous brand or portraits of pop artists, actors, prints in the form of food, comic book characters, films, etc.
Makeup
Naturalness, first of all. It is difficult to meet a young American woman who would draw arrows for herself to go grocery shopping.In everyday life, they strive to show their natural beauty, using natural cosmetics and applying a minimum of makeup (weightless mineral powder, a little mascara and blush, a light, barely noticeable gloss on the lips).
What is American clothing style
It is impossible to name this style somehow definitely. Fashion in America is a mixture of styles that came from different countries. Borrowing some detail from each (elegance and simplicity from France, leather, denim and bright prints from Italy), America bit by bit created its own unique style that you want to copy.
