Women over 50 try on trendy looks
It is believed that the older we get, the more conservative our wardrobe. However, according to the report of this year, the trend bureau K-HOLE (the one that first defined the normcore as the trend of the year), society is no longer divided into age and gender groups, as the rapid exchange of new information and openness to everything new unites people, not divides. Fashion in response to changes in society also refocuses on individuals with their diversity of age, interests, experience, appearance and figures.
We are launching a new heading of filming on real people to see how to adapt new trends to life. For the first release, we picked up two adult characters in the key of current trends and asked them what they thought about these metamorphoses and whether they wanted to experiment with their image in the future.
Zara Jumpsuit, Issey Miyake Ring & Bracelet, Mango Shoes
Now comfort and functionality are important in fashion. I selected everyday images for heroines in this way: things should be easily combined with each other and be suitable for all occasions. Recently we told how and why overalls come back to fashion. We are very happy about this, because overalls can replace both dresses and trousers with shirts, which is very useful during a crisis. Laconic models of free cut suits are a versatile and practical thing. It’s not necessary to break your head over combinations for a long time - the main thing is to choose the right shoes and get along with a minimum of accessories. Practical platform shoes pull out the silhouette and fit perfectly with the daytime look. In this outfit you can go anywhere. If you wear a jumpsuit with heels, get an evening option.
I used to wear overalls, only the shape of the pants was "bananas." This jumpsuit is very comfortable and has a nice fabric. In a word, I like it. The shoes are comfortable, but very unusual, as I prefer feminine things.
Zara Sweater, Mykita x Maison Martin Margiela Glasses, AnnaRita N Pants, Zara Slip-ons
Continuing the theme of universal overalls, we can say that another light and effective combination is a warm sweater with soft tone-to-tone trousers. This image looks both relaxed and elegant. This combination is suitable for both young girls and adult women. In addition, here I have included the main model of the shoes of the year - slipona. Although these things would look great with a heel or classic shoes too.
I really like this mysterious sand-colored image. I usually wear light-colored trousers in summer, but with a neutral-color sweater, everything looks harmonious and is suitable for winter. Although there was not enough bright accent here, the glasses came in very handy. It turned out a very interesting combination with glasses. I will note comfortable slippers, although I would rather wear them with jeans, but here I would replace them with men's-style shoes.
Uniqlo Turtleneck, Maje Jacket, Alexander Wang Pants, adidas Sneakers
Sneakers today, few people are surprised. Even in combination with a suit, not to mention evening dresses. Although the older generation may not seem so. Nevertheless, sneakers are the most comfortable shoes that fit perfectly into the rhythm of modern Russian women, when you need both a galloping horse and a burning hut. In combination with a relaxed turtleneck sneakers make a strict pantsuit into casual. I note that here the balance is achieved due to the free cut of trousers.
Unusually. A bit strange and funny. It seems to me that you are stomping on me (laughs). I prefer more traditional feminine outfits. By itself, the image is good, but it looks strange to me. And sneakers do not bother me: I love the sporty style in clothes and often go with my younger son to the skate park. Embarrassed by the cut of a suit - the fitted options are closer to me.
Shrimps Fur Coat, Uniqlo Turtleneck, Wood Wood Pants, adidas Sneakers
This image is in many ways similar to the previous one by Svetlana. Here I combined sweatpants, sneakers, turtleneck and pink faux fur coat. In my opinion, this is the perfect combination for living in the city - cozy and not boring. I will note a color fur coat. Even at the age of 20, many Russian girls decide to link their life with a mink, take it on credit, hide it from moths, but forget that mink (especially dark brown) is old. Color fur is another matter, and also artificial. Refreshes and invigorates!
This image is absolutely about me. He is cozy, harmonious and I like him in myself. I would wear all these things, especially a warm naughty fur coat and pants. I liked not only the pink color of the fur coat, but also its voluminous cut. Usually, I buy fitted clothes on the figure, but here is a fresh idea. Take note! Like the combination of a fluffy top with tight-fitting trousers. In the slush, I would replace the sneakers on dutik, so as not to soak your feet. Although if it is dry, then I would go like that. Pants warm, comfortable. For the countryside - great. Go to the hairdresser, go shopping - it will be convenient to measure things and change clothes.
Rag & Bone Top, Mother of Pearl Culottes, Mykita x Maison Martin Margiela Glasses, mary al terna bag, Uterqüe boots
Slowly, the word "culottes" ceases to sound strange and they get used to this model of clothing. Classic wide cropped culottes from the 1920s, which we wrote about in the summer, are the main fashion thing of 2015. They look relaxed and elegant. They should be worn in the same way as midi skirts: with a top, sweater or shirt. Regarding footwear no restrictions. It can be both shoes and shoes. Here I also added a capacious urban bag of concise design, but with an original detail in the form of a sewn stole. I will note that Svetlana is wearing glasses with a round frame.
Here I like everything, and I finally feel comfortable. By the way, a great roomy bag. After all, if there does not fit a kilogram of sugar and a liter of milk, then this is not a bag. The glasses are super. I have never worn culottes before, but I'll try. Let's call this image "sea". A yacht is asking for it.
MRZ Dress, Zara Booties, Issey Miyake Ring and Bracelet
Evening elegant dress does not necessarily involve a lot of detail and processing. Minimalistic cut and pure color often look more expensive and more noble than dresses decorated with drapes and velvet. It is safe to wear such a thing with boots, and with boats, and with ankle boots with heels. I would even try to measure his boots with him. It is important that the brevity of the dress is sustained by the almost complete lack of accessories. I will note the amazing figures of both our heroines. We mentioned new wellness: in the 21st century it is important to be healthy and energetic. Svetlana and Galina seem to be in the know! We would like to follow in their footsteps with the whole edition of Wonderzine and we will try.
Great dress, I would like to have this in my wardrobe. I feel comfortable in it. In addition, I prefer monophonic things. It is luxuriously sewn and fits perfectly on the figure. Could go anywhere in it and even meet the New Year. It does not need to decorate. It is self-sufficient. Maybe I would wear it with pumps or thick-soled shoes. It seems to me that ankle boots “cut” legs.
Uniqlo Turtleneck, THE ROW Skirt, Mango Shoes, Hermès Kelly Vintage Bag, Vintage Christian Dior Bag
Midi length skirt - the constant female wardrobe. One such thing of pure color (it does not matter whether it is white or dark blue for example) can solve many problems with collecting in the morning. I made this image monochrome, because the calm color and clean lines of things emphasize the feminine beauty of the age. Almost nude-effect turns out and at the same time the severity is kept. Here I chose shoes on the platform, to slightly reduce the degree of femininity and make the image more attractive. However, neat pumps or ankle boots with heels here, too, would be great.
It seems to me that black "grandfathers" shoes are knocked out here and attract attention. So you can dress up to go surprise. I think, looking at me, those who are not interested in fashion, will think: "Strange aunt was dressed." There is a wonderful phrase: "If you look at a woman, you do not remember what she was wearing, it means that she was harmoniously dressed." I think graceful heels would look more harmonious here. But the shoes have one big plus - they are very comfortable. I myself would not dare to dress like that. Although I have a beige skirt and a turtleneck - I will try to wear them together.
Litkovskaya Dress Vest, Atos Lombardini Shoes, Issey Miyake Ring and Bracelet
Another option elegant dress. This dress, sewn as an elongated vest with a fringe of textured material, is the work of the Kiev minimalist designer Lilia Litkovskaya. Here I included funny shoes of golden color. Although he asks for shoes with heels. In total there are three bright details: the texture of the dress, its decorative fringe and the golden color of the shoes - the accessories would be superfluous here. In this image, I think, Galina could meet the New Year. In the shoes it will be exactly convenient to go watch the holiday fireworks.
I was extremely interested in trying on this image. On the one hand, the image of a vamp, but not in the classical sense. Golden funny shoes change everything. This idea of the contrasts of a strict dress and fun shoes I will use in the future. Of course, with age, the female image should change to a more classical side. You can not get stuck in childhood, but the shoes - super.
Coat no name, Uterqüe Top, Erdem Skirt, Goggles Mykita x Maison Martin Margiela, Veronique Branquinho Ankle Boots
All images for Svetlana and Galina somehow balance on the edge between cozy, sporty, classic, minimalist and elegant styles. I made this outfit more fatal by including a luxurious coat of artificial astrakhan fur, shoes with heels and a pencil skirt decorated with lace. Coats and heels are the most classic and good at any age. However, the older we are, the stronger this combination works. I think Marcello Mastroianni would be subdued.
I really like this image. Extremely feminine and close to me in spirit. In general, I believe that age and fashion do not depend on each other. The main thing is that you feel harmonious and comfortable. There are no taboos and restrictions. The only thing that is strange when an adult woman especially artificially young - it is noticeable from the outside. After this shooting, my framework and ideas about the feminine style parted. I realized that you can be different and at the same time beautifully dressed, put your hair and make up. I will now be more relaxed.
