Fashion and style have significantly evolved over the centuries. Initially, only representatives of the nobility and wealthy families could afford pompous outfits. And even when the opportunity to diversify their wardrobe became available to the middle class, the main trends in fashion were still dictated by noble people. But many things had changed in the 20th century when designers appeared in the world arena of fashion, and the style, in general, has undergone some changes associated with greater liberation and freedom. Fortunately, quality clothing has gradually become available to the wider public, and today most people can buy things they want or order tailoring of clothing as they see it.
With every decade, and now probably every year, we can observe the lightning-fast emergence of new trends, their change, the return of long-forgotten trends, etc. One thing became clear: in the modern world, it’s impossible to imagine our life without choosing clothes for everyday wear or for a certain event. It’s exactly the outfit you choose that determines your fashion preferences, that is, your style. Fashion for certain things can quickly pass, but your style is your personal vision of yourself, a state of your soul that always remains with you.
How well you can pick things up that show off your appearance and character directly affects your self-esteem. If you have never really gone beyond a certain style and are eager to try something new, you may like some of the modern clothing trends we will discuss next.
I think it’s wonderful to be able to express yourself through clothing these days. And it’s not at all necessary to buy clothes and shoes that were presented at fashion week just a few weeks ago. Imagine what it would be like if almost every person immediately ran after this or that thing. Beauty is in diversity.
Today you can even combine different styles – the main thing is that things look harmoniously when combined with each other. However, if you prefer classic style or minimalism, you should be careful here. If you want to stay within the style genre but look elegant, love the simplicity of lines and laconic cut, take a close look at the casual style. Practical and comfortable clothes are now more popular than ever, while you can go beyond black, brown, blue, gray, white, beige colors and make bright accents.
Depending on where you are going to go, the casual style can vary:
– check out city casual street looks to look bombastic anywhere (blazers, jackets, pullovers, shirts, trousers, jeans, shoes – moccasins, boots, sneakers),
– smart casual style will work for you if you do not want to look too formal but at the same time stylish at work (jackets, jeans, white shirts, T-shirts, scarves, sneakers),
– business casual (you need to choose monochromatic wardrobe items – shirts, sweaters, vests, jumpers, classic low shoes, loafers, cufflinks, ties),
– you might want to opt for a sport casual (chic) style if you want to add elements of a sports wardrobe to your everyday look with the help of loose-fitting trousers, T-shirts, polo shirts, turtlenecks, bomber jackets, and a pair of your favorite sports shoes.
For those who prefer or need to be dressed officially most of the time, I also advise paying attention to the preppy style. Even though it originated among students of prestigious schools in the middle of the last century, today it’s relevant for different ages and in everyday life.
If you want to add femininity to your look, pay attention to the new look and ladylike styles. These are characterized by emphasizing the body proportions and midi or long skirts. These styles will help you look classically sophisticated, while a rich selection of skirts, blouses, and dresses will help you look modern. Don’t forget to wear glasses to complete your look. At the same time, none of the things you are wearing should stand out from the general ensemble of clothing.
However, we are not always ready for a change. Very often, we crave cardinal changes! If you are ready to let the color in your clothes, you have every chance to be in trend. For example, a patchwork clothing style will help you stand out for its originality. When creating such outfits, designers use a special technique where wardrobe items are sewn from separate colored scraps of fabric. Such a creative approach to creating clothes allows you to make them bright and unusual. Besides, there’s underground style, suitable for younger individuals who want to try bold looks and go beyond the mainstream fashion trends. This style is characterized by asymmetry, bright colors, and contrasting details.
Also, pay attention to the ethnic style of clothing. There are a lot of cultures in the world, so you can definitely choose for yourself some bright element of national costumes and thus complement your image. A variety of colors are also inherent in the boho style. Such clothes don’t expose your sexuality and don’t have excessive strictness; this style mainly features wide, loose silhouettes, long dresses and skirts.
There are many styles and fashion trends, so when choosing clothes for yourself, it’s important to rely on what you like on others and show your body in a most favorable light. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in your clothes and feel your best.
