Men's clothing in a women's wardrobe

Send

The emancipation at the beginning of the 20th century, providing women with equal rights in the social sphere, also affected clothes.

The First World War forced women not only to master men's professions, but also to try on their work clothes. The convenience of overalls was so obvious that the girls no longer wanted to deny themselves this comfort in peacetime. But most did not have the courage to go out in the men's "outfit." Removing shackles and getting rid of judgmental looks, we are obliged to the trendsetter and impeccable style Gabrielle Chanel and the famous scandalous actress Marlene Dietrich.

Pants and vest

Coco Chanel has proven to the world that men's clothing is not a taboo for women, but an endless scope for fashion experiments. She was the first to dare to put on pants - she used a men's suit for riding. Mademoiselle easily transformed men's shirts, vests, ties into women's wardrobe items. And she did it expertly, because in them women felt comfortable and relaxed, while not losing a single drop of femininity and charm. In addition, with the light hand of Coco, the vest has ceased to be an exclusively male wearable shirt and sailor attribute.

Pants in the style of Marlene Dietrich

The beautiful, relaxed, sexy, maddening sultry Marlene Dietrich shocked the discerning public by appearing in front of her in men's trousers. They were straight cut with arrows and lapels at the bottom of the legs, while sitting tight on the waist and hugging the hips. Later, Marlene developed her model - her trousers differed in a free cut from the hip, were quite wide along the entire length and had pockets in the side seams. Marlene's style had a strong influence on women's fashion. After her “release”, all fashionistas of that time were no longer embarrassed to wear trousers.

• Pants with pleats at the waist and pockets at the side seams • Loose trousers with wide tops • Wide trousers with high rise
Pants in the style of Marlene Dietrich are still frequent guests of fashion collections, they are still sewn from soft and plastic fabrics and worn with high-heeled shoes. They do not lose their relevance, it is a classic recognized by all.

Jacket

Following the trousers, a men's jacket also moved into the women's wardrobe. Having undergone some changes, at first he turned into a masculine-style jacket - fitted, just below the hips. It became the basis for creating many images, and first of all, business.

• Fitted hooded single breasted jacket • Short jacket with rounded lapels • Retro oversized jacket
There is no certainty about which jacket to wear. It all depends on your chosen style, mood, place. If these conditions are met, you are doomed to impeccability and endless attention.

Trench coat

• Lightweight coat with patch pockets • Double breasted trench coat • Trench coat
Overcoat, pea jacket and trench coat are no longer items of outerwear exclusively for men’s wardrobe. The classic trench coat is a direct descendant of a gabardine cloak with lapels and a double-breasted clasp, created by Thomas Burberry for the British Army infantry. The model is so versatile, comfortable and stylish that it has become a classic timeless. Burberry trench never loses its relevance. Every year more and more new versions of it appear. But classic is always classic. And no matter what is underneath, some fashionistas wear it on their naked bodies, like a dress.

Jeans

Once jeans were worn only by gold miners, later denim overalls were the uniform for prisoners in some prisons in America. And then, fashion designers turned their eyes to the creation of Levi Straus, the founder of Levi's, and jeans were no longer just work clothes. On world catwalks, eminent fashion designers regularly present jeans collections.

A white blouse

A cult white blouse is a cult piece of women's clothing. Many women put her on a par with a small black dress. Like the above-mentioned trousers, jacket, T-shirt and trench coat, a white blouse also came to us from a men's wardrobe.
Fashion designers used and are using a classic men's shirt as the basis for creating different images and new models. This dress-shirt loose cut, fitted, straight, sleeveless. And blouses of all kinds of styles, with or without decor.And vests in sports, jeans and safari style.

The most famous way to turn a men's shirt into an item of women's wardrobe is to wear it with a wide belt, casually tuck the sleeves, and complete the look with high-heeled shoes or sandals. Cheeky and sexy.

Tie

And another item of men's wardrobe, which without any friction and special changes, has become part of the women's - tie. The first legislator of tie fashion was still royal France. The patent for the “perfect” tie was awarded to businessman Jesse Lengsdorf in 1924. We know this tie today - it is sewn in three parts, while they are cut out of silk fabric along an oblique. Marlene Dietrich often wore men's ties with trouser suits. Audrey Hepburn preferred a tie knotted scarves. Modern fashionistas are happy to wear ties without any rules of shape and color. This is one of the favorite women's accessories.
