Fashion, like any phenomenon of life, entirely depends on life itself and rules it establishes at one time or another. Therefore, what seemed unthinkable in the 19th century, became typical in 20, and what was unacceptable in 20 turned into fashion trends of the 21st century. Approximately this happened with a straight skirt, a long way from categorical rejection by moralists to public recognition. After all, as you know, before becoming a classic, almost any work of art was initially banned.
The origins of a straight skirt
The foundation was laid in the 19th century, when from 1820 to 1830 the woman's skirt became an independent dress. The 20th century was the immediate beginning of the history of a straight skirt, which appeared around 1900. After 10 years, the famous Parisian fashion designer Paul Poirier came up with a model narrowed to the bottom. However, it was difficult to call it convenient, because the woman felt constrained in the literal sense of the word.
A more comfortable and successful option was offered by the world fashion legislator Coco Chanel and Jeanne Laven, who offered an even style. In the 20's, the length of the skirt, which had not previously risen above the ankle, reached the level of the knee. So, with every decade, models became shorter, more diverse and occupied an honorable place in the wardrobe of every woman, turning into an object of classics.
The popularity of a straight skirt is unchanged
The easiest from the point of view of the style is a straight skirt on an elastic band. It is even recommended to sew by yourself, following the instructions. However, of course, not every girl is ready to try out the role of a seamstress, but any young lady can wear a comfortable, simple and functional thing bought in a store. It remains only to choose your own version, which may well be:
- classic straight skirt below the knee or to the middle of the calf;
- straight miniskirt above the knee;
- straight maxi-skirt in the floor.
The classic straight skirt is characterized by restraint, refinement and suitable for business style. As a rule, it is muffled, faint colors, keeps on a snake and has no decorative details. It should be worn with women's blouses and any not too dyed up riding. The traditional representative of this species is a black straight skirt, which, perhaps, is in the wardrobe of each girl. After all, any official reason and place, defined by the dress code, invariably requires a combination of white top and dark bottom.
At the same time, you should not categorically assign this label to officialdom. Today, there are a lot of options that allow the presence of all sorts of embroideries, drawings, inserts that designers create specifically to even in the classic thing to remain a bright personality. The main thing that these details were not too much, and the image of the elegant did not go into the category of bad taste.
A popular variant, embodying a classic style and fashionable fabric, is a straight denim skirt . She sits perfectly on the figure, emphasizing all the curves of the forms, and less formal. As a rule, behind the back there is a small incision, serving not only as an ornamental element, but also allowing to make a step easy. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that in combination with a tucked-in blouse and waist-high waist, you can go not only to work, but also to a cafe, cinema, for a walk, because jeans today is quite appropriate for both formal and everyday life .
Thus, the straight cut skirt was and remains the thing that goes into the main wardrobe and makes every girl truly feminine.
