Glamorous style of clothing

The word “glamour” is familiar to many. How can a person with little knowledge of fashion explain the meaning of this concept? First of all, he will use such epithets as “brilliant”, “luxurious”, “bright” and, perhaps, “expensive” or “rich”. In general, it will not be so far from the truth. However, not only the meaning of this concept, but also the style of clothing is multifaceted and has a long history of development. What is glamor and how to create an image in this fashion trend? Let's try to figure it out.

You can not only read the article, but also listen to it.

Features of a glamorous clothing style

Brightness, exclusivity and femininity of the image are the main features of a glamorous style for girls and more mature ladies. Despite the fact that the direction should be very “sensitive” to current trends, blind copying of magazine and Instagram images is not allowed. Therefore, the latter is more consistent with the concept of “gloss”, and glamor, which is often confused with it, is a bright and luxurious, but, above all, individual style. Let's look at its general features.

Colors, fabrics, prints and decor

The palette of shades to create an image in the style in question should be rich and eye-catching. Therefore, it includes tones such as gold, silver, neon. In addition, pink, turquoise, azure, bright yellow and other bright, catchy shades are very popular. Current prints include, of course, those imitating reptile skin or animal skin.

An abundance of shiny decorative elements - sequins, rhinestones - is welcome. Suitable fabrics include silk, chiffon, guipure, satinAs, velvet, taffeta, materials with a mesh structure or with lurex threads. The use of fur elements and leather is relevant.

Cut options

The task of the styles is still the same - to make an impression with catchiness, to shock. However, all this should not be done too much - moderation should be observed and amaze not only with extravagance, but also with elegance. Glamor does not accept loose styles, and especially bagginess. The length can be any, but the cut must be flattering and seductive, emphasizing the advantages of appearance. Elements such as necklines, slits, and asymmetry are welcome.

Shoes and accessories

These are very important details of any image and glamor is no exception. Shoes should have an unusual design and have eye-catching decorative elements. As a rule, these are models with high heels (the highlight of the image will be its fancy shape) or with a platform. For glamor, the main thing is not convenience, but sophistication, sex appeal, and grace.

Jewelry with precious stones, like no other, corresponds to the general concept of style - to sparkle and shine. Gems are not only part of bracelets and rings - they can also be used to decorate belts and even bags.It would probably be unnecessary to mention that all accessories and shoes should be only of the highest quality, made from expensive materials.

Reference. Creating a glamorous image can be dramatically described as “walking on the razor's edge.” In the sense that when selecting its elements, it is very easy to overdo it and create a vulgar outfit from an elegant and seductive one. The notorious sense of proportion in no way contradicts glamor with its brightness and shockingness. Therefore, be sure to dilute the look with some discreet detail or element.

How to create a glamorous look

Even knowing the concept of a particular fashion trend, it is sometimes difficult to choose the right basic wardrobe items. Below are examples of clothing that can be used to create an extravagantly elegant outfit.

For men

Those who do not consider brutality and some roughness of styles to be the only options for things for the stronger half of humanity can use elements of the glamor style for their image. These include:

• tight-fitting shirt models in intense colors;
• trousers and jeans of narrow styles;
• fitted versions of jackets, mainly made of shiny or printed fabrics;
• elegant coats and trench coats;
• decorated belts;
• silk scarves and mufflers.

For women

Glamorous clothing for beautiful ladies must be not only elegant, but seductive and feminine. The dress most closely matches the latter criteria. Therefore, it is desirable that there are many models of this wardrobe item. All of them should combine sophisticated finishing, bright colors, and a figure-flattering cut.

However, compliance with all these criteria is also typical for other elements. Tops - tight-fitting, with a bold neckline or open back, bright colors or richly decorated. Trousers and jeans are of a tight-fitting style. Skirts - fluffy to the floor or narrow, elegant and seductive to the knees and above. And also - luxurious fur coats and fur jackets, elegant coats, flirty leather jackets.

The main thing for any bright and extravagant style is the ability to present yourself and the presence of impeccable taste. If you have both, plus a certain amount of daring, then glamorous style may be what you're looking for.
