News from the Wild West
Country style
aka western is the vivid and intelligible concept suitable in the easy and
familiar interpretation. The style
appeared in the West, in the land of dashing cowboys and hard-working farmers.
On the one part, this is the pompous style with the hat, jeans and boots with
sharp tip. On the other part, this is the search of comfort and coziness, the, rural
simplicity and natural fabric of quiet shades.
The style that
is authentically cowboy style appeared in the modern actualfashion for ladies.
There is not a great number of girls who really keen on looking as cowboy and
who go bananas from movie westerns though there are some of them who feel
comfortable in this style.
The style
of the Wild West is comfortable since the image should not be totally adopted
to look attractive and interesting. Every season fashion designers present
apparel with some elements of the American western and a fashionmonger who
wants to look unusual is enough to adopt several accessories only.
Basic elements
The western
style can highlight several details to create the image of the US
native from the end of XIX century. When and if the basic details are used
correctly to complement the image, the trendy look is ensured then.
Basic components
Loose tailoring
and simplicity is the fundamental moment of this style. The clothes is too
comfortable, it does not restrict movements. The upper wear can be allowed in
layers.
The natural
fabric and faded shades look as the real closeness to nature, its purity and
simplicity of living. Flax and cotton, leather and suede which are launched in
brown, beige, green, terracotta colors are the integral part of country style.
Besides, the hand-made knitting is highly reputed, as well as the laced jersey,
delicate lace and the small floral pattern or the folklore prints.
The dense plaid,
thick tweed and a check pattern in any interpretation regular appear in fashion
collections as a vital western style element. A western-style shirt with a
bright accessory is sometime enough to show the liking for the cowboy style or
behavior or life manner. Denim is the perfect team-mate of the cottage
coziness, especially when presented in bottom bell denim trousers, but not
skinny jeans at all.
Accessories
To feel like
in the country style to a smaller extent, you are welcome to get some
accessories without any basic element. The best accent is the fringe, which is
reasonably recognized as the vivid accord from the Wild West. Fringe is used in
whatever you like, though it is more preferred in leather and suede garments.
On the whole, fringe is used as a decorative element for shoes, handbags,
jackets and vests.
A vest with
a fringe, a belt with the heavy clasp and sharp-nosed boots make the entire set
of the gentleman, the country style follower, though you never abuse choosing
something to adopt. In summer time boots give the floor to sandals with flat
sole and trendy leather bands as with Roman-style sandals. A vest comes as the
plain from leather and suede. The most trendy garment is the fur vest with the
puffy furry trimming, partly or wholly.
Apart from
lace and jersey rough knitting that look as the hand-made work country style
favors for embroidery and patchwork. These elements make the image more
comfortable, cozy and domestic neglecting the cold polished image of glamour.
Rare
meetings
Today
western style appears in fashion collections too seldom than hippy style, too
close in some elements. These two styles seem to be similar with the tendency to
natural elements, lack of much-talked about polish of the look and outer
appearance on the whole. Hippy style is rather combination of dissonant
elements while western requires following of particular rules and environment. Owing
to the ineradicable simplicity, this style is matched with romantic or casual
elements.
Many
fashion designers step to the western style from time to time. This tendency
was noted a couple of years ago in collections by Anna Sui, Baby Phat, Gucci,
Christian Dior, Philip Lim, Alexander McQueen and so forth. In 2009 Isabel
Marant launched the apparel called the Bohemian western line and soon the
designers from Cacharel presented their own collection in the same style. The year
2010 shows the tendency to the western style in collections by Derek Lam. And
this style never outdates. Western style is close to nature and as we tend to
seek for safety, comfort and ease, we tend to use some western style elements
in our clothes and life.
