“Hey, garcon!” – men's style in women's clothing

Men's clothing style has long won the hearts of women for its practicality and comfort to wear. The basis of any image in this genre is considered emphasizing femininity due to the rough texture of materials, angular styles, adding elegant things.

But garcon is a special direction, characterized by the creation of ensembles for girls and women from clothes completely men's cut. And only some moments can indicate femininity, and therefore emphasize and strengthen it.

Stylistic features

“Hey, garcon!” - can be heard in a restaurant in France. Literally it means "errand boy". But the beautiful word has also become a style of clothing, partially imitating the uniform of a waiter: a black short or long jacket, tight-fitting trousers, a tie - something like how you can imagine the wait staff dressed in a cafe near the Eiffel Tower.

Garcon in women's clothing is a style similar to the one described above, but in an expensive way and using certain accessories. For example, if you look at photos from the last century telling about the emergence of the trend and its formation, you will notice that at first exclusively black and white materials were used in tailoring. Later, when the style gained veneration, classic colors came into fashion.

Today, garcon is not only conservative, but also bright colors, however, not going beyond the boundaries of practicality, nobility and apparent high cost.

I would especially like to note that this genre is absolutely does not accept tight-fitting styles and feminine details in the cut. But this does not mean that clothes should be angular, “waistless”, or hang like a bag. In everything you should observe moderation and try not to emphasize seductive curves.

Characteristic details of style

Garson stands out from other men's clothing genres. Its features include:

1. Trousers. As a rule, these are rather loose-fitting styles that hide feminine curves. High waist, freedom in the hips and knees are welcome. Often tucks are made of fabric in front, and the waist is emphasized with a belt. The looks come with leggings and cropped trousers, but these are, so to speak, modernized options.
2. Tie. The men's accessory is a frequent “guest” in garçon style looks. Moreover, it can be worn either tied “tightly” or in the form of a relaxed “bandage”. A butterfly fits well into some images. It is better to choose a discreet monochromatic color, often black, blue, burgundy. In other outfits, instead of a tie, you can wear a neckerchief, snood, or scarf.
3. Plain materials. Printed fabrics are rarely used in ensembles: they cheapen the image and don’t fit into the style. But, of course, we don’t consider checkered, striped, ribbed, herringbone and other ornaments in the English genre taboo.
4. Quality materials. These are suit wool, tweed, shape-holding cotton, cashmere, drape, gabardine. In a word, these are the ones fabrics that wear well, are durable, stylish and expensive looking. Shirts made of cambric, thick silk, and good chiffon will fit perfectly.
5. Contrasts. It is unlikely that you will find an outfit in the garçon total look style. The image must include at least one contrasting item.

The basis of a wardrobe in the garçon style

1. Jacket, cardigan, blazer. One of the main details that sets the tone for the image. The theme includes options with a not very pronounced waist, single-breasted or double-breasted, most often with a narrow elongated collar.
2. Trousers. Characteristic features: high waist, possible folds in the waistband area, loose options in the hips and legs. Long trousers with a wide belt and creases also look good. Shortened ones are also not prohibited, but This is already feminine clothing, which is better complemented with purely masculine details.
3. Shirt. Men's cuts, classic styles and colors are welcome. A shirt-blouse made of thin fabric can be more feminine.
4. Vest. Its prototype can be considered a classic model of a men's trouser suit. Looks good worn without a jacket with a shirt and trousers made of the same material.

Accessories and shoes

As is known, they are the ones who “make” style, and garçon is no exception. Characteristic details inherent in this direction:

• men's tie, bow tie;
• hat or bowler hat;
• suspender;
• leather belt.

As a bag you can try a clutch, a handbag, a ladies' bag. Decorations – in minimal quantities and only from expensive metals.

From shoes Classic shoes are preferred - high-heeled pumps, low-heeled ballet shoes, high boots. All without prints, decor, finishing.

Important nuances

When creating images in the garçon style, it is necessary to take into account some unspoken rules. For example:

• with narrow or short trousers, it is advisable to wear an elongated jacket;
• with wide ones - a shirt, it is better to button the collar at the same time;
• under an elongated blazer, a shirt blouse with a buttoned button at the neck is recommended or don't wear anything at all;
• If you want to look seductive, you can unbutton your shirt a few more buttons than usual. Wherein all other elements of the image should be purely “masculine”.
