In a certain kingdom, in a distant state, there lived King Koschey. Lived as a bobyl. He would be glad to get married, but the girls keep turning up their noses. No matter how much you try, it’s all in vain. He decided to visit his neighbor, Marya the artist, - maybe she would give some good advice, she was a woman after all. No sooner said than done. When she saw the uninvited guest on the threshold, she was stunned. Koschey tells her:
- Hello, Maryushka! I have business for you. I decided to get married, but I just can’t find a bride for myself. I have a lot of money, I’m provided with housing, I’m done with my dark past. But still, not a single beauty looks in my direction.
“And he won’t look,” Marya answers. -Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately? Girls today love fashionable men so that they are not ashamed to appear in public with them.
“Help me, honey,” Koschey begged. “I don’t know anything about this matter, but you have good taste.” Look, your hero is walking around dressed to the nines.
“So be it,” the beauty relented. “But I won’t sew, I don’t have time.” And I’ll help you choose. Let's go before my husband returns from the hike!
They arrived at the shopping center.Marya says:
- You, Koschey, walk around for now, take a closer look, and choose what you like. And then we'll see...
Koschey walked through the rows, and there was no visible product there, his eyes were wide open. He looked at what they were buying, grabbed the first thing he liked, and began trying it on.
Changed clothes for the first time.
- Well, how? - asks.
- No good! – Marya frowned.
- What’s wrong? – Koschey was surprised. - It seems stylish. The guy over there bought the same thing, look. Isn't it beautiful?
– The set, of course, is stylish and neat, but not for you. That guy is size 48-50, and you are 44. You can't be so tight! It’s not respectable, you, it’s been almost two hundred years since you’ve been a boy. A with ineRhom what? The round collar is good, but the color is black... The arms are like matches, peeking out of the sleeves, and just behold, they will break. Get changed, we'll watch further.
Koschey changed his outfit and left the fitting room booth. The beauty sighed:
- Nightmare! Everything dangles as if from someone else’s shoulder, sloppy... And the color is dark from head to toe... Why?
“So he covers his hands,” Koschey retorts. - And warm. And then, it seems to me that in black I look so mysterious...
– Not mysterious, but gloomy. Finally, understand: this color doesn’t suit you, it makes you look old. The face turned gray, the wrinkles all appeared. He looked tired, as if he hadn't slept for three days. The vertical stripe emphasizes thinness even more. The V-shaped collar lengthens the neck. No, take it off. Did you pick up anything else?
– I’ll put it on right now for a formal dress suit.
Marya saw the third outfit and smiled:
– As I understand it, you’re going down the aisle with this?
“Well, yes,” Koschey answers. - Why not? What don't you like again?
- No, I just like it. The color is pleasant, refreshing, and makes you look fifty years younger. Not bad at all.The trousers fit perfectly, but the jacket seems a little loose. If it had not been a straight cut, but slightly fitted, and five centimeters shorter, they would have stopped there. Let's walk around some more, maybe we'll find what we need. After all, when you get married for the first time, you need to be irresistible.
Koschey and Marya the Artisan went along the shopping aisles, and on the way she punished him with what he needed to remember:
- For slender men, clothes should be the right size: not too small and not too big, but just right;
- It’s not good to wear a wide T-shirt, a double-breasted jacket with large shoulder pads or a voluminous knitted sweater - all this will look like it came from someone else’s shoulder;
- It is better not to try on very tight things at all: trousers, jeans, T-shirts should not be tight, skinny legs and torso should be exposed;
- It is better to choose light colors, round cutouts, horizontal stripes;
- On thin people, multi-layer sets always look good: they are both neat and add volume.
“By the way,” Marya stopped at one of the counters. - Look here. Never buy this: they will laugh!
– But this is how I would dress in my youth – I would have been with my wife long ago. A son will be born and grow up - keep this in mind.
– Take these sets for every day - you will be comfortable in them, not cold, and you will look stylish.
“Well, and when a meeting with overseas merchants or some other special occasion comes up, then, of course, the suit will come in handy.” Look how fashionable they are. Choose, and you will look like a business man should.
Koschey didn’t know how to thank Marya. He dressed up, was transformed, and immediately became an enviable groom. The local beauties began to smile, say hello, and agree to a date. The adversary perked up, even looked younger.And six months later the queen of the sea took him in. The wedding was soon celebrated, they began to live happily, and leaf through fashion magazines in their spare time. And Koschey no longer goes to see Marya - now his wife takes care of his wardrobe.
