All parents want their child to look stylish, beautiful and trendy, and often wonder how to dress their child. Everyone wants to put on a child not only beautiful clothes, but also create a harmonious and bright image. A few years ago, the Stilyagi style, popular in the twentieth century, returned to fashion. Clothing of this style is available in large quantities, both for boys and girls.
Who are they?
The term "Dandies" was coined by the writer D. Belyaev, who in the distant Soviet years called a special category of young people this way. This direction began its existence after the Second World War. As you know, then the country was going through the hardest times in history: hunger, poverty, unemployment were everywhere. People tried their best to make a living. And suddenly, among all this dullness and poverty, young people dressed in bright costumes appear.
Of course, in those distant years, such youth, who dressed in extraordinary outfits and danced to foreign music, caused a lot of indignation on the part of ordinary citizens. Dudes were a special category that did not obey the basic principles and rules. They led a wild life, they were called vulgar parasites.
In fact, dudes at that time were not just brightly dressed young people, they were a special class with their own views and attitude to everything that was happening around. They were ridiculed by many satirical magazines, and there were separate columns about them in serious newspapers.
Style Features
The older generation has negative memories of dudes, but, in fact, clothes in this style do not look at all hostile. Now such clothes are most often used for themed parties and discos.
For girls
Children's clothing in the style of dudes is hardly suitable for everyday wear and walks, but no one has canceled festive events. A morning in the kindergarten, grandmother's birthday are great reasons to wear a beautiful dress or suit. Such clothes from childhood teach children to be beautiful and dress with taste.
This style is easily recognizable due to some of the characteristics inherent in stylish outfits. The main element of the image for a girl is a dress with a fluffy skirt. The cropped bodice goes well with the bell skirt. As a rule, such a dress has several layers, thanks to which the skirt looks voluminous.
All dresses in the style of dudes, even for adults, were created taking into account the fact that it would be convenient to dance energetic dances in them. That is why it will be convenient for your child to move in this suit. When creating dresses, the emphasis is on bright prints in the form of large peas, checks and large flowers. A belt with a bow is a great addition to the dress.
For boys
Modern boys' suits that are suitable for school are rather monotonous and boring. Style dudes for boys is significantly different from the modern classic.A boy in such a suit looks very stylish and unusual. The main element of the image for children in this style are trousers. Jeans at that distant time were practically non-existent.

When choosing a shirt, preference should also be given to bright shades. A snow-white shirt is best left for a formal event. With bright trousers, a shirt or polo shirt in contrasting shades will look great. It is necessary to complement the shirt with a wide and long tie, without which a high-quality image cannot be formed. Instead of a long tie, a neat bow tie is quite suitable.
Do not forget about the hairstyle, which should be the completion of the image. It can be a high mohawk or curls combed to one side.
