Basque jacket

Basque is called a wide frill, which is sewn to the product along the waistline.

This fancy frill originates from the name of the people (Basques) who inhabited the Basque land. Geographically, this is the north of Italy and the south-western part of France. Basque was originally part of a traditional, national, Spanish men's suit.

Today you need to thank the fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga, a native of the Basque country. Basque models of clothing were continuously present at designer shows. What is important, a characteristic element for the fashion house Dior, is a jacket with a basque.

Today this unusual and feminine detail complements such types of clothing as skirts, trousers, jackets and dresses. Basque adds charm and sophistication to every piece, turning things into elegant works of art. Examples are seen in the collections of Chanel, Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier, Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs, and others.

Many women do not dare to buy a jacket with a basque, not knowing with what it can be combined. The most feminine option would be, oddly enough, a combination of a jacket + strict pants / skirt. Also this option is suitable for business meetings and office. After meeting with your loved one or friends after work, you will also look elegant and interesting. The bright colors of the jacket will be bright and juicy green, purple, pink and so on. Bottom we select neutral, dairy, black or gray.

Ladies with a slender figure can afford to choose a jacket or vest with an uneven basques. Bottom, it is desirable to choose a neutral, skinny jeans, pants in a classic style. A skirt made of leather and a jacket with leather applications will harmonize very well.

Very thin ladies, should pay attention to bulk Basques. Due to this, the waist will be underlined and highlighted. And, on the contrary, full girls should refuse an option with volume basky. For them, it would be an ideal option to purchase a jacket with smoothed ruffles in monochromatic colors. Baska, several shades darker than the jacket itself, will visually pull the silhouette. Plump and pregnant women should choose a jacket with an overestimated waistline and a frill that covers the tummy.

If the jacket is already hanging in your wardrobe, but you do not know how to complement the set, choose something strict shirt or blouse. For an evening or event, a shirt with ruffles will do.

On the catwalk you can see that evening and cocktail dresses are often complemented by a jacket with a basque. Everything is individual and depends on the model, the dress you choose.

Most often in the store can be found jackets monophonic and pastel colors. This is due to the versatility of the model, which can be combined with everything except sportswear. If you can pick up the bottom in the tone of the top, it will be the perfect image.

Rarely, but still there are models of jackets made of checkered material. Dangerous option! If you fail to find the bottom of the shade, exactly the same as the top, it will look ridiculous. If you are swimming in matters of a combination of things, I advise you to abandon this option.

Despite the fact that Basque was originally part of only a men's suit, today it fits perfectly into the wardrobe of fashionistas. If you still lack this trendy jacket model, run to the store faster.You will look bright, feminine and most importantly irresistible.
