Glamour

History of style

Since the main components of glamour are attracting attention, luxury and the generation of envy, the first inclinations to the development of glamour appeared before the 18th century. In those days, ostentatious luxury was a necessity, although it did not give space for creativity - all exclusively according to palace regulations.

The creation of glamorous images was required primarily in order to show the huge difference between the nobility and those who are not nobles. Luxurious outfits remained the lot of the upper classes until the growing up of Marie Antoinette. The girl was always famous for her relaxed and open-mindedness and even at social events she could forget about decency and behave as she wanted at that time. Her waywardness and lightness were reflected in the outfits - she could deviate from the regulations and complement her outfit with accessories - hats, ribbons. Often the young queen appeared so on the street, and other girls eventually began to copy her, including in clothes. So luxury and glamour became public, not just noble people. Already after the execution of Antoinette, at the beginning of the 19th century, the demonstrators of luxury were courtesans - they had impeccable taste, were famous for their unimaginable beauty of outfits and always showed exceptional manners. Sometimes the girls looked even better than the local nobility, which only reinforced the desire in ordinary citizens to dress as luxuriously. Going to the theater, a ride on a carriage - all this was the reason to put on "all the best". So the gap between the nobility and the common people disappeared and now everyone could become glamorous - the main thing is to have talent, charisma and taste.

Principles of glamorous style

The style of glamour is usually perceived as a complete copy of fashion images from the pages of magazines or, with the current realities, social networks, but real glamour is not only brightness and exclusivity, but above all individuality.

The principles of glamour include:

• Materials. They don't have to be simple. Genuine leather, fine chiffon, velvet, satin, silk are appreciated. Sometimes fur trim is used, supplementing thin fabrics with lurex threads;

• Prints. Not mandatory, but a rather characteristic feature of glamour is animal print. Any bright colors from leopard to snake are used;

• An abundance of décor. For a glamorous image, items of clothing with sequins, sequins, rhinestones will come in handy - a kind of obvious demonstration of one's own importance, wealth, status;

• Rich color palette. As a rule, colors that attract attention are used for images - neon shades, gold and silver, as well as azure, bright yellow, pink. The style provides complex and original shades, abandoning the banal blue in favor of ultramarine, and from red - in favor of scarlet;

• Cuts and styles. No baggy or straight silhouettes - only elegant, fitting and emphasizing the dignity of the figure of the clothing model. Celebrities who adhere to a glamorous style are often pleased with bold clothes. They go on red carpets with cutouts, necklines, voluminous details - all this also fits into the concept of style.

It is important that with all the shocking images, their uniqueness and originality, glamour is refined and concise. A sense of taste and style is welcome, not just random combinations of bright clothes.

Glamour in the sense that was both in the 18th century and now, has always correlated with women - they emphasized their sexuality, forms, dignity of the figure. Over time, glamorous images began to be reflected in the men's wardrobe.

Male glamour is characterized by:

• Adjacent shirts in bright shades - from pink to lemon;

• Stylish jacket made of patent leather, with shimmers or metal motifs;

• Jeans and trousers - narrow, usually with a low fit;

• An elegant coat in the manner of a reading or trench coat, made of a dense fabric, for example, carpetcut - a woolen fabric with a characteristic scar.

Outfits are complemented by details - scarves, thin ties, belts with rhinestones, kashne. Shoes lacquered, metallized or with rhinestones. Bright shades of shoes are also welcome - the main thing, in accordance with the image as a whole. Of course, male glamour in its expression is very different from female, but this does not prevent the strong half from introducing some elements of luxury into their wardrobe.
