We will talk about a very practical element in an ensemble of any style. He is not only able to hide figure flaws. But also emphasize the advantages. Versatility is the main advantage of the bolero. Suitable for denim sets, dresses, casual tops, T-shirts, blouses and turtlenecks.
Selection by material
The main role in the choice is played by the composition of the fabric. The number of options is unlimited. Lace fabric, knitwear, wool and wool mixture, silk of dense and fine structure, satin, fur. The list can be long.
For a summer wardrobe, stretch fabrics, stretch lace, printed and smooth materials are used. The colors are both bright and pastel. It is better to sew from thin fabrics. They won't be hot. In the cold season, accordingly, preference is given to models made of dense, warm fabric and yarn.
Varieties of styles
Boleros come in many different types. With a neck fastened with buttons and loops, decorated with fringe made from pieces of yarn or crocheted.Without fasteners, tied with braided laces or satin ribbons with bows. With hooks and zippers. With an addition in the form of a scarf with tassels, wrapped around the neck or thrown over the back. The ties of a winter bolero often end with pom-poms, especially for children. Sleeves are selected according to taste: short, to the elbows, “three quarters” or long, to the wrist. The choice is influenced not only by the season, but also by the type of fabric. Since in the warm months it is possible to wear something made of thin knitwear with long sleeves. And in cold weather, on the contrary, with a short one or up to the elbow, if they are made of warming yarn, dense bouclé fabric, or fur.
Selection by event
For evening options, use velvet, fabrics with printed colors and patterns, fur with short pile (to avoid discomfort in the armpits), thick silk, artificial and natural. Lined products look more expensive. You should choose a clutch that matches the tone. An outfit looks great if the texture of the handbag matches the material of the bolero. When they also harmonize with the shoes, and the dress, on the contrary, has a different but appropriate color, you will certainly become the queen of any ball.
Formal events are attended in models decorated in some way. There are a great many options: embroidery, patterns of beads, feathers and textured, sewn and glued flowers. Sew on and adhesive rhinestones of various types, colored buttons (plastic, metal, wood), pearls, rivets, beads, chains. To make their creations attractive, fashion designers add inserts of fur, leather, suede, and lace. Sequins are a very common technique when creating an elegant look. An item of clothing can be either completely embroidered with these shiny circles with one overlapping another, or embroidered with patterns from them. Lurex threads add brightness to the look.
IMPORTANT! But to the office or to a business meeting it is better to wear plain boleros made of thick, smooth fabric with a lining. The colors are discreet: black, white, grey, brown, blue or pastel.
A separate topic is wedding attire. The favorites in this case are bolero fur coats, which differ in cut depending on the dress model. Of course, if we are talking about fur. “Lightweight” brides’ capes are made of satin and silk. They are decorated with lace, frills, boutonnieres and other details designed by the stylist.
Features of clothing and combination rules
This item of clothing is suitable for girls and women with small breasts. After all, a cape visually enlarges the bust and on curvy figures it looks ridiculous. Those who want to hide a bulging tummy or a plump waist should also exclude this detail from their wardrobe. Otherwise, the silhouette does not look feminine.
ATTENTION! Of course, there is no need to wear a bolero over a blouse with ruffles on the front. If you are wearing a turtleneck or a top with decorative elements, forget about it. In this case, a smooth plain fabric will not save the situation either.
And, of course, combinations are only allowed with tailored models. And not with robes and anything like that.
Examples of correct kits
The subject of our discussion looks appropriate with skinny trousers, leggings, and skinny jeans. With any mini-skirts, floor-length sun skirts, straight maxis and short fluffy ones. With dresses that fit your figure and long, fitted ones.
Always remain stylish and beautiful. After all, just like hundreds of centuries ago, we are and will be greeted by our clothes.
