Country style in clothes

Modern lifestyle often dictates its fashion for various things in our wardrobe. Today, when the energy and rhythm of big cities captures people, for many, the main factor when choosing clothes is its practicality and convenience. Sometimes there is not much time to work out in detail each item of clothing and change the outfit several times a day. However, everyone wants to look modern, stylish and well-groomed. Often during the day we have many different events waiting for us, where we need to look dressed for the place, and not catch the judgmental looks of others. In this case, choosing a country style in clothes, you will not lose.

Many people consider this style to be folklore-ethnic, since the word “country” means “village” in English, and this in many people associates with something too simple and not intricate. However, if folklore outfits are usually used for relaxation, then country style can be played in any direction, be it a date, a meeting with friends, a party, a walk or something else.

In the 19th century, numerous people, in search of a better life, began to move from Europe to the New World. The whole culture at that time was undergoing modernization. The changed way of life also affected the way of life and clothes. With the male version of country style, everything was much simpler than with its female interpretation. Cowboys and gold seekers needed clothes that would endure all their “trials”. Jeans and leather clothes turned out to be the most practical to wear. The climate of the Wild West was hot, the sun burned mercilessly so as not to get sunstroke, men wore wide-brimmed hats and neckerchiefs, which in the event of a sandstorm could cover their faces from dust.

However, for women in the 19th century, there were unspoken rules in clothing. The outfits of that time could not be called comfortable and suitable for daily wear in the Wild West. In addition to housekeeping, the settlers had to ride horses, do farming, and sometimes they had to fend for themselves if there was no brave man nearby. The "refugees" were not rich, they did not have servants, they had to solve all the issues on their own and be very determined and brave. Naturally, for girls in such conditions it was very difficult to adhere to the fashion that existed in Europe at that time. But the desire to be attractive and feminine did not disappear anywhere. I had to contrive and try to come up with something new from the existing elements of the wardrobe.

Girls and women wore mostly chintz or cotton dresses and skirts, and they also had shirts and blouses in their wardrobe. A fur or leather jacket was usually worn on top of the shirt. Skirts and dresses were mostly gathered and tiered. From shoes, in winter and in the cool season, girls wore high lace-up boots, in summer - sandals with straps.

For men, checkered cotton fabrics were mainly used in shirts, since dirty stains were less visible on this color scheme. From shoes, preference was given to high boots with long toes and spurs on the sides. Jeans or leather trousers were tucked into boots, which prevented dirt and dust from getting inside the shoes.

Such “rustic chic” came to the modern world in the 70s. It was then that famous designers began to stylize some things under the country style. Many fashionistas liked this style very much and gradually it spread everywhere.

If you still have little idea what country style is, what to combine it with and what color scheme to choose, then we hope that after reading our article you will have much less questions.

You can dress up as a sexy "cowgirl", or you can choose the romantic image of a "cowboy girlfriend".

For country clothes, warm, natural shades are most characteristic. The most classic is the combination of brown with shades of blue or blue. The brown color of the Indians was a prototype of the earth, and blue symbolized the sky. If you chose brown cowboy-style boots, a tiered print or cotton dress for the outfit of the day, then you can put on a denim sleeveless jacket or a blue jacket on top. The image will turn out very fresh, light and romantic. Or maybe you are a brave girl who loves to catch the views of others? Then add a wide-brimmed hat here and voila, the image has become more daring.

From outerwear, this style accepts a variety of jackets and jackets made of leather, suede or denim. The main focus is on the color, as mentioned above, the colors of the Wild West nature are preferred - brown, beige, khaki.

It will look great shoes with low heels with suede trousers or shorts. The presence of scuffs on clothes will only add some “originality” to the style. The bag can be quite large, on a long strap.

A dress or an elongated shirt can be emphasized with a leather belt. A rough belt on a thin female waist will add even more sexuality to the image. The presence of fringe on clothes is welcome. It can be a bag, a jacket or a fringed skirt.

Let's list some country elements that girls can use in their "bows".

• wide-brimmed hat (the hat can be straw, the main thing is that it has wide brim, in a cowboy style);
• neckerchief;
• jewelry made from natural materials (wood, leather, stones, feathers);
• cowboy-style boots (pointed toe, low heels, wide tops);
• sandals with straps;
• layered dresses and skirts (the length can be from maxi to mini, the cut should be free and flying);
• jeans in blue and blue shades (you can choose the style of jeans based on the type of your figure and preferences);
• a variety of vests and jackets (denim, leather and fur look stylish);
• leather belts and belts.

In the conditions of the Wild West, men had a hard time. They needed to show all their masculinity and boldly confront not only enemies, but also the weather, which was already very capricious. Now men do not need to survive in such a sultry climate, but practicality in clothing remains relevant to this day. That is why the most devoted fans of this style are often men.

What young man doesn't have a plaid shirt? What about leather jackets and jeans? Many simply do not count the many models of this clothing. After all, there is no need to think too much about what to combine with, it is enough to put on jeans and a shirt and the image is already becoming stylish and neat.

To create a masculine country style, do not forget about these things:

• high boots (they will give the image of brutality);
• cowboy hat with wide brim;
• neckerchief;
• belt with large buckle;
• jeans;
• leather or corduroy trousers;
• checkered shirts.

Many men believe that following fashion trends is exclusively a female prerogative, but this is not so. The stronger sex must also take care of itself and its image. Whoever says what, but the proverb that they are greeted by clothes is relevant for all time.
