Dress in ethnic style
Style features
The clothes of people changed a lot as soon as they stopped living in caves and hunt wild animals. True, superstitious men and women were very, because they often embroidered clothes of various kinds with charms, which, in their opinion, not only protected them from bad things, but served as a kind of reminder of their ancestors and their roots.
Ethnic motifs in clothing became again popular in the sixties of the last century. And since then, do not leave the pedestal "fashion". Fashion designers are “blaming” the “flower children” for such popularity of this clothes. It was the hippies who replaced the narrow mini with long skirts and sundresses on the floor with openwork symbolic ornaments.
The main feature of the ethnic style is the motives of national costumes, which are clearly visible in it. For the most part, clothing can most often be found in ethnic style dresses that many women like so much. And it’s not for nothing that modern fashion has breathed new life into the ancient costumes of its ancestors, turning them into a modern work of art.
To suit
Dresses with an ethnic motif are very versatile. They can be worn by any girl and woman, provided that she is able to choose for herself the very pattern and ornament that will not fill her, or to harmonize with individual body features.
For example, the owners of the cold color type will suit dresses with blue, blue, pink, cold green, dark red and black patterns, while the “warm girls” are more suited to the patterns in sunny and summer colors: yellow, orange, green, purple, burgundy.
Owners of a magnificent figure should not get dresses with a large and alyapisty pattern, as it can visually increase the volume of the body. It is better if ethnic patterns are executed on separate places of a monophonic dress, for example, only on a bodice or decorated inserts.
Thin girls and women, on the contrary, should look narrowly at a more voluminous ornament, and any model will suit the hourglass girls.
