VALENTINE
16 years old, schoolboy

I am calm about how other people are dressed. But for me personally, the choice of clothing, its combination and image in general mean a lot. I believe that everyone should dress the way they like and want. Although you can't choose clothes for school, the only thing I allow myself are colored socks.

Mike - "Staff", it was released by the group "Bread". They made a similar collection for Bieber. This group is funny, and I follow the guys: how they dress, what places they visit. The Spice cap is also from the collection of the Khleb group. Their new song just about how they expect new songs from the Spice Girls.

I began to relate to bright colors more calmly, although I used to wear, for example, a red coat. My love for color is rather expressed by my socks: they are always bright and unusual. I have a whole collection. But I prefer clothes classic colors: white, black, khaki and brown.

Pants - Zara, white jacket - Gosha Rubchinskiy in collaboration with the Kappa brand. A bike from him latest collection... Once he was a hairdresser, and now he is one of the most famous designers. In 2008, his first show took place: he took teenagers aged 16-18 as models and dressed them as he saw them. And once Gosha staged a show in an abandoned church, now in its place is gym... Freedom and simplicity are visible in his clothes - this attracts me most of all.

My friends dress in a similar style, so fashionable now. Plus it's free and convenient option clothes. From music I prefer rap and hip-hop. Listening to Kid Cudi, Asap Rocky, Kendrick Lamar.

Black sweater and trousers - Zara. Black sneakers - Adidas. When my family and I went to Berlin, we searched all the shops. I chose this particular model because it is super comfortable and with a steep Boost sole. For example, some rappers have these sneakers that I like.

V free time I often see my friends. We usually meet in the yard behind the Mac. What are we doing there? Well, we talk and discuss different things, we just hang out. And once a week I go to the cinema, recently I have become interested in cinema.

This particular Champion jacket is a rare model - it was sold only in one store in Latvia. Such things do not look expensive or defiant, but they good quality and they are comfortable. It is more of a street sports style.

I would like to always look stylish. How would I like to dress in old age? I think the same as now, although everything will depend on time. It just seems to me that it's great when a person of any age is neat and stylish.

What statements do you agree with? Which ones are puzzling to you? What do you think about fashion, style and female beauty? Let's try to collect "Etoya.Ru quotation book"?

Young guys are future fathers, husbands, and leaders. Therefore, it is very important that they dress well. It may seem unnatural that oh young guy judged the first few seconds when seen. The old adage that you only have one chance to make a first impression is very true. So take the time and energy to look your best and start by dressing the way it is considered fashionable in your age group not worth it. This will only create a barrier as you try to move higher.

What does “dress stylishly” mean?

First, it means dressing in clean clothes that fit you well. But does this mean that young guys have to wear a formal suit every day? Of course not. Most men don't need to wear a suit every day, as their career doesn't. There are many young guys who work as carpenters, plumbers and others, and also many people are in the service - in the army, at the church, and so on.

Dressing attractively, regardless of profession, means wearing clothes that are not torn, without stains, that is, clean.

You have to take care not only to keep your clothes clean, but they also have to fit well on you. It will be uncomfortable for you to wear too large clothes, and wearing clothes one or two sizes larger is all the more not worth it. Clothes that fit you well means clothes that are too tight. You may think that such clothes will be too tight for you and limit your freedom. On the contrary, clothes that fit you perfectly will seem weightless to you. The reason for this is that such clothes require less fabric to get a feeling of freedom, and accordingly, they will weigh less.

Secondly, to dress attractively means to have an idea of own style... It is best to learn this skill by ignoring mainstream fashion trends. Try to better understand how you are physically, what is the color of your hair and skin. Your environment and financial capabilities are also important. We are all different, and a suit that fits the guy next to you might not look the same on you.

Third, dressing attractively means taking an example from the classic style. Classic men's clothing, unlike fashion brands, remains relevant for a long time. The classics have no ups and downs.

Fourth, dressing attractively means standing out from others. It means to rise above the social norms of our time. Jeans and T-shirts are common in our society, and for most of these clothes are casual, although in fact they do not rise above social norms.

Why should young people still dress attractively?

• Reason one

Dressing in an attractive way draws positive attention to yourself. We live in a subjective world, hastily make assumptions and judge people by first impression from what he saw. Even if you justify your choice of clothing, you give people a reason to look down on you and underestimate you. Many of us have no experience, and most of us are just college graduates. Therefore, young people must be able to dress attractively. A young man who wears neat and well-fitting clothes in a classic style will make people appreciate themselves, their ideas and their society.

• Reason two

By dressing attractively, you show your maturity. It doesn't matter if you go to university or college or the army, you are now a young man. Your background made you who you are now, but it is your responsibility to do whatever it takes to move on. The clothes you wear are no exception. You are responsible for every aspect of your life. By dressing up attractively, you show your maturity and aspirations to everyone who looks at you. People see you as a young man full of energy, health and desire to live on, but they also see a mature and responsible man who can become an adult and say goodbye to his boyish past.

• Causal third

By dressing attractively, you show self-esteem. ... If you take the time, energy, and pride to dress attractively, you are bound to exude self-esteem and dignity.

People will see you and think positively of you. To dress attractively is to be respected. In addition, you will serve as an example of self-respect. People seeing you dressed in a neat, clean, well-fitting you classic clothes will feel that you are worthy of their time and society.

• Reason four

By dressing attractively, you build self-confidence. ... A confident young man is able to take on any challenge and move mountains. Believing in yourself is a vital necessity in order to be successful and survive in this world.

How can a young person get the job he wants if he is not confident in himself? How can he approach attractive woman and ask her out if he doesn't think too highly of himself?

By dressing attractively, you exponentially increase your self-confidence.

• Causal fifth

By dressing attractively, you get the attention you want and keep it.

The attractively dressed young man will stand out from the crowd. It becomes noticeable. If you stand out from the crowd, you draw attention to yourself and keep it on you. This is good, especially when you need this kind of attention for self-affirmation.

Image is very important. A young man, attractively dressed, has an enduring image that grabs people's attention and keeps it in your possession for a long time.

There are people who think that clothes are not the most important thing in their life and do not give of great importance what they wear. They can buy a thing every few years and wear it until there are clear signs of wear and tear. There are those among us who believe that it is not only necessary to accompany us according to our minds, but also to meet them, that is, it does not matter what a person is dressed in, how he looks, whether he is neat, whether they are dressed according to fashion or not at all for fashion. follows.

Did you know that fashion is not as simple a phenomenon as it seems?

How do you think why and for what there was fashion in our life?

Fashion is successive clothing trends, appearance person. Trends can repeat what once already existed, but now presented in a new way, sounding in unison with the given time, or something completely new appears, which has not been encountered before, signifying deep changes and movement forward. But be that as it may, regardless of

time and situation in the world, in a particular country, we can constantly observe the movement in fashion: something new arises, the old leaves, then it comes again, but already in a new form, sounding in a new way, declaring itself in to another, in the spirit of the new time.

Why is this happening? Why is there a fashion in our life that, as they say, you can't keep up with? Why can't a mod be in a static state? Why is fashion in constant flux that pushes people to follow fashion, follow it, strive to conform to it?

Many probably have more than once questions: is it worth following the fashion, is it necessary to flip through fashion magazines, what does fashionable image whether it is worth paying attention to fashionable things in stores or is fashion all the same a good marketing ploy, which is aimed only at making a profit, and all these fashion trends are aimed at ensuring that customers, constantly updating their wardrobe, leave part of their budget in stores? Maybe you shouldn't pay attention to new trends in fashion, and update your wardrobe only by m How to wear things out?

Why do we need fashion in our life at all?

The fact is that the very phenomenon of fashion, if you go deeper, is a part of our life process. It is an integral part of our life and has its own important function... Let's take a swamp and a river. The swamp sucks in, absorbs and impedes movement, the river carries forward, the river is in constant motion. Life itself is a river, life is synonymous with movement. There would be no movement, there would be no life - one is impossible without the other. Thus, fashion, which is part of the life process, helps people not to stop, not to stand in one place and not to be swallowed up by a swamp. Fashion carries people forward like a river, as if constantly reminding them of the need to move.

There is another very important side of fashion: fashion allows people to develop, expand consciousness, develop fantasy, imagination - not only for designers who create fashion collections but also to those who are the spectator and the buyer. Some show that you can come up with more, using the example of their collections, while others wear it with pleasure, as if agreeing starting with a new idea, becoming a part of this fashionable process, in which everyone around is actually involved, because this is a part of our life.

For some, the fashion industry is really a way of making money, but all these magazines, expensive collections, the beauty industry also teach us all, buyers do not become victims of marketing.

How is it?

I will share my way of shopping for fashion items. I love beautiful and fashionable clothes, I love with a twist, and I love shopping - whether it's a brick-and-mortar store or an online store. Before shopping, I don't flip through fashion magazines or research fashion websites for what to wear this season. I go to the store, look at what is presented and choose what resonates in my heart. I draw attention to something new, to a certain new note, an idea - something that catches me, makes me stop, take a closer look at the thing. It could be unusual fabric, style, even buttons can become a highlight in clothes, having an unusual look or shape.

There are details that people often do not attach importance to, but which make the thing unique, special, different from others. And it is important to pay attention to such details in order to understand what makes a thing unique and unusual. It can be an unusual neckline, an arrangement of buttons, a combination of fabrics of different textures. But buttons with a twist can make a seemingly ordinary cut or something special.

And it doesn't have to be haute couture or the name of a luxury brand. The whole "deliciousness" is just in the fact that among the many monotonous clothes, to be able to find something of your own, suitable for you, which will correspond to your inner world, your character, your type of appearance.

How do I see and feel new things when I find myself in a store without looking at fashion magazines or visiting fashion websites? It's simple: I go to clothing stores every month, shoes, I flip through the catalogs, I'm interested to see what's new, I'm looking for what I might like and mark something for myself. Since I visit stores quite often, I immediately see trends new collection- what is new, what colors and styles prevail. That is, in order to understand what is fashionable this season, I do not have to go to fashion weeks and fashion shows... And this does not prevent me from having an idea of ​​the new trends in the current season.

In this way, marketing moves that are designed to make me spend a lot of money to look fashionable and have an idea of ​​fashion do not work for me. Here the chain breaks, because according to marketers, those who are interested in fashion and want to dress fashionably will pay for everything related to fashion in order to learn more about fashion. It can be all kinds of fashion publications, fashion shows, etc.

But my advice to you: strive to learn as much as possible not about fashion, but about yourself, so as not to waste money. The more a person knows about himself, the more he knows about what is needed. it was him, and not to the one who is constantly trying to impose something on us.

What does it mean to "know yourself"? It means trying to understand what is right for you. And for this you need to go to clothing stores as often as possible, look through catalogs with clothes in online stores and carefully monitor what you like, analyzing why you like this or that thing, whether there is something special in it, distinguishing it from others, whether there is a zest in it, whether it reflects your inner world. All this is also very important so that you do not rush to buy what you do not need. So that before making a purchase, you listen to yourself, to your inner voice, and not to someone who is trying to make money from you, luring you with discounts and fashionable collections.

From all that has been written, I want to conclude: clothes, fashion teach people individuality, to be one and only in their own way, to choose something of their own from the presented variety of clothes, shoes, accessories. Fashion teaches people not to stand still, encourages movement, change, because change is always a rejection of the old in favor of the new. The new will not come into our lives if we do not say goodbye to the old. Such a phenomenon as fashion develops imaginative thinking, imagination in people, expands the framework of perception, helps a person become freer, adds a note of creativity to his life. When a person chooses clothes for himself, he undoubtedly tries on the role of a creator - he creates his own image, an artist - he brings various colors into his life, creating a unique canvas of his image through the color of clothes, texture of fabrics, and various details.

Men's fashion is an ambiguous concept. Does it even exist, what kind of wardrobe a real man should have and what is absolutely forbidden to wear?

How do you feel about men who consider fashion an exclusively female privilege and wear what falls out of the closet?

Every person, regardless of gender, should be attentive to his external image and wardrobe, because the saying "they meet by clothes" is always relevant. In the modern world, a lot is decided on the basis of first impressions, which, unfortunately, speaks of the pettiness of modern society and its constant moral decline. But if a person is attentive to himself in terms of clothing and does not try to cover up his inconsistency with an image, then he will not wear what falls out of the closet, he will show concern for the people around him. This is a kind of communication between the individual and society through clothing, which shows how a person relates to the world around him.
And for this it is absolutely not necessary to have a thousand options, it is quite enough to find 15-20 items that will be consistent with each other in style (the so-called "wardrobe capsules"), and keep them clean.

Can a woman change a man's style and is it worth it?

Maybe, but is it necessary? Many, choosing suits and ties, do this with the zeal of pioneers in the parade, but they do not always have an adequate idea of ​​how their man should look, which is why incidents often happen. When dreams of a fairy-tale prince begin to bump into the side of the real figure of their chosen one, this confuses the girls or makes them give up at what happened - "and so it will do, most importantly, he is my man!"
Carried away by playing the "great stylist", where a woman freely tries on the role of a referee, you should not forget that before that you should visit professionals and consult with a specialist. Otherwise, fashionable jeans, pipes on your companion will reveal his far from inflated legs, and a tight shirt with a fashionable print will add weight not only to your man.

Where should men dress and can they find their style in the mass market?

Mass market is a segment of clothing stores at an affordable price, designed for mass consumption. Here the quality is replaced by the speed of moral and physical obsolescence. And yes, in this segment you can find your own style, if you adequately relate to this concept. Clothes of this class should not be worn for more than one season, otherwise they simply wear out to holes, since they are not designed for more. These things are designed to satisfy the tastes of the majority - average cut, boring color. But if you want to stand out, have something more exclusive in shape and color, then there is no point in looking for such things in the mass market. There are different situations in life, so men should pay attention both to the mass market for the formation of a work and everyday wardrobe, and to brands of a different class for drawing up an image for special events.

What should not be worn in the city under any circumstances?

You can wear whatever you want in the city, because city life is a fleeting clash different worlds... Variety is great. Everyone expresses himself in his own way. On the other hand, it is undesirable to cross certain boundaries, everything should be justified and appropriate in a permanent habitat. Among bikers, dressing in a tuxedo and bow tie would be inappropriate. Among the hippies, you need to look like them. In the city, we all intersect, and I do not see anything wrong with people exchanging feelings and discussing, even with negative emotions, another manifestation of life, which also exists and has every right to exist. People should see each other, understand the diversity of the world. But not everyone is interested in fashion, not everyone needs it, not everyone has a desire for it. If a person is not satisfied with basic needs, then he has a desire to spread his nihilism and destruction everywhere. So don't criticize someone else's style - if you don't like a man in sandals with socks, don't look.

What to do with accessories: are massive watches, expensive cufflinks, chains and baubles always appropriate?

The main question is relevance in a given atmosphere and situation. If this is accepted among others, you can safely wear various accessories. At a social reception with a black tie dress code, cufflinks will perfectly fit into the image, and a small bauble that will emphasize some of your hobby will become a symbol of your inner world. You can wear a tuxedo and gold chain over your shirt to express your opinion, but all other parameters must be met.

How do you think Kazan men dress?

Poor and not positive. This is because in our notorious and intolerant region for any creative manifestation in the field of clothing, you can run into rudeness and cruelty. The field of fashion, apparently due to the religious beliefs and narrow thinking of the gray majority, for some reason is attributed only to sex minorities. Therefore, many seemingly "advanced" minds, wanting to wear something else, are afraid to admit it even to themselves. This is one of the biggest problems in the region, but young people who have always undermined the "foundations of the bourgeoisie" are gradually changing this situation. And it will replace it when the old generation has outlived itself.

How do you feel about the trend for beautifully ugly shoes - birkenstock, sandals with socks, etc.?

Modern fashion is looking for new facets of self-expression and therefore often goes to extremes, but this does not mean at all that you need to do exactly as dictated by this or that designer. The tendency towards ugliness suggests that eclecticism has reached its peak on the catwalk, implementing forbidden forms. For fashion as a process, this is a breakthrough. But in real life this collides with the attitude of society and shatters to smithereens about irrelevance. How did this happen? Fashion comes from society, new trends are what fashion designers see in an urban environment. They get ideas from there and put them on the podium. After that, the idea goes back to society and is processed there. The trend has taken place if it has been processed within the environment. It cannot be said that the trend will necessarily take root in society and vice versa, that which is fashionable in the urban environment will hit the catwalk.
