Style "Chicago" in clothes

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "Chicago" is the famous musical starring Richard Gere. Bright costumes, recognizable songs, chic dances - the creators of this film spared no expense on scenery and costumes. Thanks to this, they very accurately conveyed the atmosphere of the 30s that reigned in gangster America.

Back in 1920, the US Congress passed the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which activates a complete ban on the production, importation and consumption of alcohol. At this time, underground bars and cabarets begin to appear, where fun reigns all night long. The city of Chicago, the most infested with gangsters, is at the center of events. All these events are reflected in clothes.

Gray everyday life, hard work, the financial crisis - all this is too depressing for young people. It was at this time that the world-famous Chicago style was born. Everyone is eager to plunge into the world of entertainment, but there is a strict dress code for customers, because they must be rich and willing to spend their money on entertainment.

Enterprising girls are forced to go for tricks, so they start shortening their dresses and complementing them with bright elements and accessories. So, by the 30s, a new style of clothing was being formed, which for a long time was relevant exclusively for nightlife.During the day, only a few dared to wear such clothes - too bright outfits aroused the suspicion of the police, who sought to close all underground clubs.

The main distinguishing feature of the Chicago style is incredible luxury in everything. The appearance of this style revolutionized the fashion world: the modesty and restraint of the classics was forgotten for a long time.

The cut of dresses changes dramatically. Sleeves and shoulders give way to thin straps, silhouettes fit the figure, the length of the hem allows you to see the knees of women. With the effect of an exploding bomb, cutouts and necklines burst into fashion. Expensive fabrics and incredibly luxurious jewelry make this style accessible only to the elite. Women all over America only dream of such outfits, but in order to earn money for such a dress, most of them need to work almost all their lives.

A lot of attention at this time is paid to accessories: hats, ostrich feather boas, fur capes, jewelry with precious stones - the brighter the accessories, the more successful their owner. An important part of the style of "Chicago" is makeup and hairstyles. Bright shadows and lipsticks on pale, powdered faces and hair styled in neat waves make the female image even brighter and more attractive.

Today, the fashion world has become more calm and measured. The situational nature of the images came to the fore. It's hard to imagine where you can apply the image in the style of the 30s, except for themed parties. However, individual elements of this style are constantly returning to fashion. So, today the use of hats, gloves, small handbags and other bright accessories is relevant. Dresses with torn textured decorations are also returning to fashion.

In the world of evening fashion, images with a lot of stones, tight silhouettes, deep necklines and cutouts will always be popular. Many media personalities choose the style of "Chicago" for their stage images or for going out.

A wedding is a special day for every girl, however, non-traditional themed weddings have recently come into fashion. This decision makes every wedding unique and memorable not only for the newlyweds, but also for their guests. The focus of such a wedding, like any other, of course, is the newlyweds. And the special attention of all those around is drawn to the bride's outfit.

For a gangster-movie-themed wedding, a Chicago-inspired dress is perfect. Such a dress should be distinguished by a tight, sexy cut, as well as richness and charm of decoration. Ostrich feathers, lace, small stones and rhinestones on a rich and refined milky fabric - this dress will impress any fashionista.

Instead of a veil, it is better to complement the image with a vintage pillbox hat or a hat with a veil. A lace cap, a wide silk bandage with a bow or a thin ribbon on the forehead will also look great. Short smooth gloves, a boa or a woven shoulder scarf will serve as an excellent addition.

The popular comedy and horror actress Paris Hilton is also known all over the world as a business woman, model and a huge fan of fashion. Over the years of her popularity and fame, she has acquired the image of a socialite who does not miss a single major party. Among them, of course, there were parties in the style of the 20-30s.

For these holidays, Paris appeared in evening looks in the style of "Chicago".As a rule, black short dresses, decorated with Swarovski stones, lace, thread pendants or voluminous tulle frills, became the basis of these images. Each of the images was successfully complemented by stylish hairstyles with ribbons or hats.

Larisa Dolina can be safely called the main fan of jazz, the time of gangsters and the Chicago style in Russia. In her stage and everyday looks, she regularly uses the "Chicago" style. Moreover: she uses both women's and men's fashion elements of the time.

Her image in a black trouser suit with white stripes became very bright and unforgettable. This costume is very similar to the classic image of a typical gangster, familiar to the viewer, but it is sewn in such a way that all the advantages of Larisa Dolina's figure are perfectly emphasized. It doesn't look rough or baggy. A deep neckline reveals a chic lace corset, and an elegant flower on the collar of the jacket gives the image even more sophistication and femininity.

Such a deeply thought-out image can be considered a classic, it will never go out of fashion and will remain relevant for a very long time. Despite this, only very brave and bright women can use and carry such an image with dignity.
