Girls in their favorite dresses moms and vice versa
In addition to all the amazing and often joyful changes around us, obviously, something important happens with the concept of age. The edges are becoming blurred, and no one speaks about the differences between 25-year-olds and 35-year-olds. This also applies to the manner of dressing, since the fashion has taken a sharp course towards infantilism - now no one faints at the sight of an elegant woman in sleeves who used to wear only skaters. We decided to study whether the gap in style and self-perception remains at a greater distance - between generations, and asked several heroines to change clothes and accessories with their mothers for the sake of the experiment, and then tell them how they felt.
Maria and Polina
I really like the way Masha dresses. She does not adhere to one particular style, but always looks very impressive. Most of all I like the way she wears high heels. It's nice that we are the same size. When I was the same age as Masha is now, I had much less clothes: one or two dresses, exactly one shoes and the first jeans in my life. In clothes I have always loved classics, and even now. I love expensive shoes and I love her to have a lot.
Previously, we often exchanged things with Masha, but now it happens less frequently because we live in different apartments. We rather quickly selected outfits for this experiment. In the machine dress and sleeves, I felt very comfortable and confident. But, of course, in my case, this outfit is only for shooting, in life I would hardly have put on such a short dress. Masha got my Dolce & Gabbana shoes and the dress I don’t remember which brand, but it’s exactly from the Cashmere and Silk store.
I like the way mom dresses. She always had a cool style, and she went to Milan for shopping. Mom prefers classics, such, with the correct forms, heels - I think at her age I will dress more boldly. Since my childhood I wear my mother's things - when I was about 17 years old, I chose the most beautiful dresses in her closet. But at school I was a zadroth child and walked in white shirts and black trousers and regular pumps, while classmates wore trousers-pipes and hoodies. At some point, I also wanted something cool. Mom, by the way, fully supported me, we went to the store and bought some completely ugly clothes that seemed to me the most fashionable at the time, and I came to school in a classy sweater and very wide pants.
It's cool when clothes emphasize a person’s character. If we are talking about a business meeting, then I try to look strictly and choose the appropriate shoes and jackets. If I go to a party, I like to have a lot of open body - for example, I often wear short shorts and like to show legs. I love bright accessories, large jewelry: bracelets and rings.
I often go in what I wear on my mother today. I was very interested to see how it would look in sleeves. For her, this is a super-obscure choice of shoes. But my mother's outfit, which I put on the shooting, showed that, among other things, I can be elegant. I usually do not wear this, but in general I like the way he looks at me. Immediately you feel more mature and more feminine - there are such chiffon sleeves, a decent length.
Nina and Anna
I like the way young people dress today. In my time there was no such choice, and there was no imagination where to turn, the youth outlook did not expand. And now everyone is so different, it's great. I had a small wardrobe at Anya's age, because again there were no opportunities. I wore some jeans, trousers, jackets, sneakers, because it was comfortable in any season - both in winter and in summer. Over time, I began to occupy serious positions, I was a member of the board of directors for a long time, and I had to wear serious office clothes, so I switched to a business style. Although now I try to allow myself casual-things, well, at least on Fridays.
It was very fun and surprisingly quite comfortable to change clothes in Anina. The ring in the nose was not a very convenient thing, but you probably just need to get used to it. I calmly relate to such things and I think that a person should change and try everything - whether it will work for you or not. I'm kind of pretty good at this. So you can go out once a week and in this form, maybe even with a ring in your nose. Why not. You look, the daughter will tell - mum, you burn.
I love to buy a lot of clothes, like any woman. Especially in the summer you want a variety and bright colors. This all helps remind yourself that you look good and can afford close-fitting clothes. In the shops, I really don’t think about it, I’m just looking at whether a thing decorates me or not. Previously, everyone went dressed in gray and dark, and it was all so boring that I wanted bright colors, to enjoy more and smile, so I like bright clothes.
The dress in which Anya starred, she chose herself, because she believes that it is traditionally mine. In general, her wardrobe is bigger than mine. I love functional things, if I don’t wear a thing for more than a year, then I just throw it away - this is superfluous, I don’t like superfluous. But Anya is able to combine everything.
It seems to me that mom needs to carry more things with open shoulders, but she herself does not buy them categorically. My mom may not be some Victoria Beckham, but she dresses quite stylishly, although there are, of course, moments that I would correct. For example, she likes super-soft shoes that look like orthopedic shoes. I understand that my mother is 55 years old, she is uncomfortable walking in high heels, and in such shoes comfortable. She also has such a moment from the 90s - she believes that everything must fit everything: an orange bag with orange shoes and so on. In general, she would not understand color-blocking.
Even mom sellers impose all sorts of trends. They can, for example, say that it is fashionable this season to have straps on everything. And here she comes, informs me about it and sometimes listens more to the opinion of some consultants than to mine. Although here is a manicure with two fingers, painted up with a different color, I recently took over. But of course, she will not wear a ring in her nose in public, whatever she may say to you.
It is difficult to say how I will dress at my mother's age, but already now in my wardrobe there are a lot of shirts. Not some kind of there with holes and five pockets, but such classic, calm. And I began to like to wear pants. A dress in which today is mom, I love the collar and pockets. It is convenient to drop everything into your pockets when you go somewhere for a while. And when the dress is gorgeous, but at the same time it has pockets - it is generally super. Icon ship - I like these cute, in some things even school clothes, it dilutes the grayness of the dress well. Shoes - this is the pair that fits everything perfectly. And the shoes and dress I wear most often. In my opinion, my mother this outfit is very on the style and colors.
In my mother's attire, I was uncomfortable because of the shoes, because I basically have a difficult relationship with heels. To wear them, I need to gather my courage and get ready, which will be awkward all day. The dress as a whole is nothing, but the fading ornament and coloring immediately indicate that this dress is for an adult woman. Well, the blouses thrown over the top confuse me - this is somehow inconvenient, I would take it off, of course.
I have accumulated a lot of clothes in recent years, and because of this, the endless desire to buy something new has become a little dull. But if my mother offers me to go to the store and buy a new dress, I, like any girl, will say - of course, let's go. And I'm sure we will buy not even one dress, but a whole bunch at once. In general, I like to go shopping with my mother, for some reason with her I always feel protected, as in childhood. Only now after shopping you can go and drink coffee together. Well, spending the whole day with mom is priceless.
Natalia and Aglaia
I felt great in Aglaya’s dress. She has such a romantic image, and I have more sports. But I put on this dress and realized that I feel very good and free, so I even thought that it suits me better. Not that I decided to pick him up directly, but we often exchange clothes. I used to go mainly abroad and brought her clothes when she was small, and now it's the other way around. Here are these pants, in which she was removed today, Aglaia brought me from one of her trips.
Aglaia is very unusual dress, she has impeccable taste. Once, when she was very fragile and small, I bought something for myself, and she put it on - and I understood that I no longer needed this thing, so perfectly she sat on it. I always had a few dresses in my wardrobe, mostly pants and jeans. With age, my style relented and became more feminine. I had a period when I could not stop, - it was necessary to buy new clothes endlessly, since then they are so mountain and lie. And now, when I started making clothes myself, I was not interested in buying them. More interesting to do. In clothes, the main thing for me is comfort. I do not like bright things, I rather want clothes to hide me, rather than stand out from the crowd.
The pants and jacket that Aglaya wore today are my typical outfit, with a romantic top and a rather strict bottom. The main thing in it - comfort and convenience.
Diane von Furstenberg dress, in which my mother was photographed, was presented to me by a friend when I was in New York. It is a little big for me, so it sits freely and because of this it is very comfortable in it. It is in principle quite simple, but at the same time it can be used as an elegant or put on a regular walk. On mom it sat down even better. Mom has a lot of dresses, but she doesn't wear them. If she takes it, I'm sure it will also hang in the closet. In general, my mother and I have a very similar taste. Here are the pants in which I was shooting, I brought both of us to wear in turn, but in the end they quietly went to my mother. And this blouse is too strict and serious for me, for myself I usually choose something more open.
I like my mother's elegant style and the fact that she doesn't turn into an aunt. She can easily put on pants, add Vans to them and feel good about it. I think if I do not become a completely crazy old woman, then in 30 years I will look something like a mother. Although there is a blog Advanced Style with all sorts of old frikanutymi, I generally like the way they look.
I was completely monstrously dressed in school, but over time this transformed into some more decent style. At some events I can wear a luxurious dress and look like a lady. But of course I am more comfortable in sneakers or wedge sandals, T-shirt, loose pants - something very simple. I'm not sure that I have any particular style. I like to have a lot of things - the more, the more pleasant. Clothing for me is a way of expression: I draw, and when I like something in graphics, I try to reflect it in clothes.
Irina and Anastasia
On my mother's dress of my design, I love it just for its versatility. The second-hand coat, in my opinion, is generally a chemist's work gown. We wear shoes together, although initially they belonged to my friend, with whom now mom is also friends. Jewelry - vintage earrings from the 70s, I love such a big vintage. I like that old jewelry does not look like jewelry.
I do not always like what new clothes my mother brings home. Moreover, when I brought this denim coat to her, she looked at him and said that she would not wear it. Three months later, put on - and so is now. Somehow she came to this herself. I give her advice only when she asks. Our wardrobe is about 50/50 overall: I like to wear wide clothes, and my mother, on the contrary, makes me wear something narrower.
For a long time I dressed neutrally, and then cut my hair short and some punk motifs began to break through. Today, what I wear is completely dependent on my mood. Clothing is a mood. I can dress up sports-neural, if I want to not look at me. And I can dress up if I am ready to draw attention to myself that day. In clothes I love versatility the most. So that the thing could be worn with sneakers and go for a walk with the dog, and at another moment go to this party.
I am a mother and now, probably, I advise Nastya about clothes - this is normal between parents and children. Especially since I dress as she tells me. So of course it was not always, it began when she was 16-17 years old, then we mostly dressed in Luzhniki. Since I am a large woman, the clothes of my sizes have always been presented in a certain style. And there was nowhere to go, so I went there, at Luzhniki. And Nastya told me: “Mother, you will not go there,” and she found something decent for me - and still finds it. And now in the stores it doesn't even occur to me to look for my own size. Somehow Nastya brought me a sarafan, he was clearly smaller than my size, and I would not even think about trying it on. But the daughter made me - and it turned out that he was sitting on me perfectly. I, of course, edit her advice for myself, but I always listen to what my daughter says - all my friends are jealous of how I dress.
At Nastya's age I had long hair and such a gypsy style: long skirts, shawls. I was absolutely accustomed to be photographed in her dress, I have exactly the same dress - Nastya came up with it herself, this is from her collection. If we wear different things with it, it is only because of the different build, but in general we have the same style, and we change individual things regularly. For example, the coat in which I was photographed, we wear together. Nastya bought it in Tbilisi in second-hand, and I do not get out of it. I usually wear it with leggings. I don’t wear sneakers myself, it always seemed that it wasn’t mine, but now I’ve looked at Nastya and I’m probably going to wear this outfit with sneakers including - it goes well together. Nastya brought massive silver earrings from India, I had similar ones, but more modestly.
I usually fall in love with some thing and drag it to disgrace. I don't care if expensive things are in my wardrobe; rather, I, on the contrary, rejoice when clothes are inexpensive. For example, a couple of weeks ago I bought a linen dress for 5 euros in Montenegro on the market - a complete delight. At the same time, let me go to work and do not go, but still I am an artist and I constantly visit people, so it is important for me to look neat, beautiful and presentable. Well, in front of customers, I, too, should look like a million.
My style has changed with the hairstyle. I walked for a long time with long dyed hair, but at some point with the advent of children simply ceased to have enough time to care for them. And I decided to shave naked and see what will happen next, to understand what natural hair color I have and what to be like - blonde or brunette. At about the same time, my style of dressing began to change. Well, plus with age, all this gypsy just starts to look ridiculous. And there already Nastya grew up and began to advise me what to wear.
