Velvet, sequins and leopard: How to wear characteristic prints and materials
Textured materials and unusual prints - what you notice in stores first. Looking at all this luxury, it sometimes seems that there is no possibility to adapt it to the everyday wardrobe. We deconstruct stereotypes and tell how to wear transparent dresses for work, what to combine a suit in sequins and why a leopard print is always a good idea.
Leopard Print: Triumphant Return
Over the course of a century, the leopard print threw itself from one extreme to another: from couture and aristocracy to associations with the nouveau riche and vulgarity. The massive return of the leopard print is coming right now: its abundance in the pre-autumn and autumn-winter collections is a sign of fatigue from the dominance of minimalism. Coats with leopard print - as light, which can be worn even on a cool summer day, and warm, thorough - can become a relevant purchase now
Leopard print items - from coat to swimsuit
Today's "leopard" has little to do with the fact that we have seen all the "dashing zero": tight jackets with Prada leopard colors are styled with thick colored tights, and Acne Stuidios combine semi-transparent long sleeves with animal colors with "heavy" vests. Ideas for modern and unbanal combinations - the mass. We have selected ten leopard print items that can be purchased online now.
Mesh clothes: Moderate transparency
The most successful things from the grid (they will not be hot in summer) are bombers, pencil skirts, as well as accessories (Panamas, backpacks). Great luck - to find an opaque crochet top from a double mesh and wear it even with a bomber jacket, even with a silk tuxedo
8 city images with velvet things
Velvet - traditionally autumn material, which appears every year in the lists of trends. This season is no exception. From velvet, which was recently treated as an exclusively evening material, they now make sneakers, underwear, and even huge down jackets. How to wear and with what to combine - in our regular heading
Vinyl and latex: Fetish for every day
Latex and vinyl can hardly be called everyday materials, but this does not stop many brands. We can recall both avant-garde designers and successful newbies Meat and Atsuko Kudo, showing tight dresses made of fetish materials. Moreover, the use of latex and vinyl helps designers to reveal several relevant topics: on the one hand, fetishism and gothic, on the other - aesthetics of the 60s with its interest in futuristic materials
8 everyday images with vinyl items
Now, after a couple of decades, vinyl stuff was trying on all and sundry, from Britney Spears to Rihanna, so that they became the absolute mainstream in the world of stage costumes. Not surprisingly, in the fall, designers offer to wear this material in everyday life, combining it with other textures and bases. How and what to wear things from vinyl - read in our material
Knitted ribbed dresses - from simple to luxurious
A couple of years ago, brands that advocate for "new femininity" introduced fashion to knitted suits and dresses that are not subsiding today. It is not surprising: after all, ribbed knitwear is practical, warm and pleasant to the body material, and the dress from it is the ideal thing for the cold season. It goes well with flat shoes, coats and down jackets
Knitwear: Rehab knitting sets
Knitwear has become synonymous with sweaters, cardigans and tops, as well as dresses and sweaters: we are used to seeing their combinations with jeans and other everyday clothes. However, in the autumn-winter collections of this year, knitwear has ceased to be a supplement - knitted total bows are in vogue. Brands from Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang to Céline and The Row introduce knitted trousers, skirts, evening dresses, leggings, sports polo and, moreover, offer to wear everything at once
Gold: Luxury and shine come from the 80s
Like any type of metallic gold is an incredibly complex color and you need to wear it extremely carefully. Do not add gold to the usual everyday bow: the exception is accessories or shoes, which in this case must be concise. But for the evening you can choose at least a golden total bow
Things with sequins - from dresses to bags
At the moment when the concept of a dress code is blurred and the category of “clothes for the evening” ceases to exist, the sequins also turned into everyday material. Most spectacular of all they look in combination with other textures: satin, fur or vinyl. We found ten wardrobe items covered in sequins, which are able to decorate both weekdays and weekends.
8 everyday images with sequins
Today, a variety of sparkling elements adorn the everyday wardrobe, and sequins deserve special attention, without which it is impossible to imagine most of the autumn-winter collections. We tell how to fit them into daily images.
Plastic and Organza: Transparent things on the streets
From time to time, designers return to the catwalk of girls in transparent dresses, from under which bodices and high-waisted shorts are barely visible. Transparent things create the illusion of the presence of clothing. To create them, they use either lace or light organza, as well as georgette, gas, mesh or plastic.
Plush costumes: luxury and comfort
The “plush” costume Juicy Couture, one of the main ghosts of the zero, who had become (literally) a museum piece by 2016, has officially returned to fashion. And although it would be easiest to say that Demna Gvasalia, who had recently unveiled the latest couture fashion week with the modernized version of the plush costume, was to blame for everything,
Suede: 70s hit return
Connoisseurs of vintage and flea market can with a clear conscience get from the bins suede brown jackets and leather jackets with fringe. They wear the time. Moreover, in relation to animals, vintage suede things are much friendlier than new ones. If you still watch out for the title of queen of a vintage party, limit yourself to accessories such as suede slippers or blouse
Angora and Mohair: Fluffy things in the new reading
Mohair is a material made from the wool of the Angora goats. It can be soft or hard: the characteristic depends on the age of the animals with which the wool is cut. The main thing is that the nap should be slightly corrugated and have an oil luster, which dims after dyeing mohair: its natural color is white-gray: you must admit that it is not the most attractive for clothing makers.
