Oriental clothing has its own unique style and recognizable features. India, Turkey, Thailand, China, Japan - these countries to this day observe special traditions that are unique to them. Asian outfits occupy a separate niche in fashion, and clothes in this style are always valued for their quality, comfort, beauty, and loyalty to their history.
Traditional features
These outfits can be called refined, sophisticated and chaste. From the depths of centuries came the characteristic features of clothing in the Asian style:
- loose fit;
- minimum open areas.
This also includes traditional ethnic colors, color combinations and shiny heavy materials, often “laid” in the form of draperies.
However, fashion does not stand still. Modern fashion designers are increasingly inspired by oriental culture and introduce similar details into their collections. The cult of “Asianism” has been developing in Europe for decades, so this style has long been established as a separate style in real fashion.
Of the most interesting it is worth noting:
- Chinese dress (“qipao”). Semi-fitting style, stand-up collar, slanting false front, bright characteristic colors. It is considered elegant clothing. Complemented with a simple, discreet handbag and shoes in a classic color scheme.
- Silk kimono. A voluminous thin summer jacket with a wrap and a ribbon belt. Most often used as home wear. A strict version of the kimono can be worn with an openwork T-shirt and trousers. High heels are preferred in the outfit.
- Mandarin jacket. A short, fitted jacket with a stand-up collar, slightly flared sleeves, and knotted buttons with air loops. Strict elegant model. Looks good in plain or slightly decorated form. Pairs with a classic pencil skirt or trousers.
From accessories Wooden and tortoiseshell combs, hairpins with floral symbols, bamboo knitting needles, ivory fans, kanzashi-style hoops with rhinestones, stones or pearls fit well into the “Asian” image.
The trend is in textile clutches made of abstract linen with leather trim, tiny wallets strewn with glass beads, beads, rhinestones, colorful voluminous trunks, embroidered with gold and bright threads of mailmen. Leather products are no less relevant.
The platform and its modifications are favorite shoes. These are leather or suede ankle boots, grunge style boots, straw or textile sandals, sandals, and high-top shoes. Of course, there is also a heel, but it is small and narrow, sometimes classic. Sneakers and sneakers popular everywhere and with any clothing.
In general, Asian fashion is “cultivating”, more and more Europe is in Asia, and vice versa.The lines between classics and stylish “high” ideas are blurred, comfort and convenience come to the fore.
