Style and life

I increasingly think of style not in terms of “what kind of skirt to wear with this blouse”, but in terms of what makes some people stylish, while others don’t, although they try and sometimes even wear the same . As a result of such thoughts, I did not come to specific answers, but I formulated several situations in my life in which the conventional heroine looks stylish or not. And yes, it is not only about clothes.

For example, let's take the beach. Moreover, not a trendy beach complex with a bar and a swimming pool. And this is quite an ordinary beach in the city, where the sand, some bushes, giving shade, water and the people around.

Situation One: A girl comes to the beach in shorts and a tank top. And it looks like this - well, as most people usually look in shorts and a t-shirt. Someone better, someone worse. Depending on the shape and appearance. But in general, about the same - "I put on a tank top and shorts to go to the beach."

Situation two: A girl comes to the beach in a t-shirt and shorts. And it looks at the same time a) cool, b) stylish. Because she even has “consumable” T-shirt and shorts to sit by the fire, which looks cool and stylish. Behind the scenes remains, how much effort is put into it For some, it just turns out by itself: they easily choose the right things, combine them without hesitation and get a cool look at the output, without putting much effort into it (special lucky people can still do it cheaply). Some have to carefully evaluate and compare things when buying, think through combinations, but in the end they also look cool.

Situation three: The girl goes to the beach, but wants to look cool. But alas, she knows how to look cool only in a dress that looks like a cocktail one, and in sandals with heels. That is how she dresses. Ten times stumbles until it comes to the beach. Even more begins to curse everything in the world when it comes. And as a result, he sits neatly on the bedding, because he doesn’t feel particularly free in the dress and is afraid to bruise / tear / stain it. This, of course, is an exaggerated image, but I call this “dressed up.” The problem is not that the girl in the dress on the beach. The problem is that she specifically tries to create elegance, but at the same time does not feel herself in this elegance freely and organically. So, some people are trying to create style, putting on some kind of underground stuff, but they don’t feel normal about them. In general, any “artificiality” is immediately anti-style in my view. Moreover, artificiality is not about artificiality. Drag Quin can feel very harmonious in a Monroe wig. Artificiality - this is when the layering of the image (clothes, makeup) are not part of your personality, but rejected by it.

The fourth situation: the girl was somewhere where you need a dress and stilettos, but then her friends called her to the beach, but she does not have time to change clothes. And she comes to the beach, razuvaetsya and goes barefoot. She is not afraid to rumple or stain her dress, but lies right on it in the sand. Manages to change the swimsuit right under the dress and generally has a great time, not thinking much about what she is wearing and what she looks like. In fact, according to my observations, such girls often also look stylish and cool. Whatever they are and whatever they do. I saw girls who climbed over the fence in designer dresses. I saw girls who in jeans turned out to be at a diplomatic reception and looked more appropriate than ladies in suits. Probably, this is all because their style primarily comes from inner freedom and self-confidence.

 

This post is just an observation that I would like to discuss. We all want to look stylish. In most cases, everything looks "just as it is." That's not bad. Some begin to make efforts to their appearance - and it turns out the second option. The question “does the elapsed time and resources correspond to the result obtained” should be considered in each individual case. Worse, when both time and resources are spent, but it turns out as in the third variant with an inappropriate evening dress. And to be a girl from the fourth situation, you probably should not start with clothes.
