Where so many names for ordinary wide pants, and what are the features of their wearing? About this below.
Women's pants-alladins - the story of things
This piece of clothing has a long history associated with Middle Eastern countries. Judge for yourself, Aladdin was the main hero of the Arab folk tale. All the characters of this fantastic story were depicted in unusual pants that enveloped the soft folds of the leg of fairy-tale heroes. Such personification of the characters of the Arab tale is not accidental, since such pants were part of the national dress of the Oriental peoples. In India and Afghanistan, the Zouaves were part of the traditional costume "shamvar kamiz", and in Ukraine the trousers became the main element of the male costume of the Zaporozhye Cossacks. Ukrainian trousers worn out and girded with a long wide belt.
Fashion on the "afghani" revived with the movement of the hippies, who were passionate about everything exotic and oriental. Children of flowers wore bright colored trousers, which were often decorated with intricate patterns in the technique of "tai-bai". In modern Europe, bloomers came from India about five years ago. First wide pants liked the inhabitants of Spain, and then they fell in love with all Europeans.
Today Indian pants-alladins are presented in both classical and more modernized form. Traditional trousers tightly cover the ankles and go freely around the waist, and modern models can stretch the leg to the knee and up and expand only from the middle of the thighs. Unusual pants inspired designers to create whole collections of "alladins." A new trend was picked up by such designers as Alexander McQueen, Diane von Furstenberg, Yohji Yamamoto and Rick Owens.
To whom are the pants-alladins?
Women's trousers have a lot of advantages compared to the trousers of a straight and tight fit. They:
- do not constrain movements, so suitable for daily wearing and even sports;
- combine the properties of the skirt (bulk) and pants (leg pins are securely fixed, legs are hidden from the wind);
- Complex pants bring in the image a note of extravagance and riddle;
- give the figure a more appetizing form, hide the flaws in the hips;
- Pants with heavy folds of rich fabrics are suitable for social events.
Traditional trousers-sultanas of free cut look good on slender tall women. Slimy hips with narrow hips of "aladdin" will add volume in the hips area, and in full girls the monochromatic dark pants will "steal" several kilograms. The only ones to whom the trousers do not resemble are the women of the pear-shaped body. They make the hips even more noticeable and add extra volume to them. Low-income women need to be aware that Zouaves visually reduce growth.
