Things for a boy's party dudes. Dresses like Hipsters are your reckless look. Hairstyles for long hair in the dude style

Today, themed parties are in fashion, not only for adult participants, but also for children. How to hold a children's party so that it is memorable? Try organizing a dude-style party. Children will definitely enjoy bright outfits and cheerful, lively music. This party should be planned for children aged 6-7 years and older.

If the idea of ​​a themed party appeals to you, then you should definitely think about how to create an interesting dude costume for each party participant.

Creating an image for a girl is not difficult. Just choose a dress with a full skirt and a tulle petticoat and make a babette hairstyle or curl your hair. How to make a beautiful dude suit for a boy? Let's try to understand this issue.

The easiest option is to go to a specialized carnival costume store and pick up a children's dude costume there. Thanks to the Internet, even residents of small towns where there are no stores selling holiday goods have the opportunity to order the necessary things.

But this solution does not suit everyone. Firstly, the costume will be standard, which means that there may be several children at the party who will be dressed the same. Of course, boys are less careful about their appearance than girls, but still, being someone’s “clone” is not very pleasant.

Secondly, when ordering online, it is not always possible to guess the size. And thirdly, ready-made carnival costumes are not cheap, but they are not of high quality.

Therefore, many parents undertake to create an image for their son on their own. And this is quite accessible, the main thing is to approach the issue creatively.

Choosing clothes in the style of dudes

A suit in the style of dudes differs significantly from the classic one. Therefore, regular trousers and jackets will not work in this case. You will also have to give up jeans. This type of clothing came into fashion later, and we need to “immerse ourselves” in the fashion of the 50-60s.

The suit consists of trousers, jacket, shirt and accessories. Let's look at how to choose each element correctly.

Trousers

The dudes wore tight trousers, reminiscent of modern skinny jeans. But, as we have already agreed, jeans are absolutely not suitable for creating an image. The ideal solution would be pipe trousers made from fabric with the addition of elastic fibers. An option made from regular, non-elastic fabric will be uncomfortable for the child.

The main requirement for trousers is an unusual color. For boys, as a rule, buy black, gray or dark blue trousers. But to create an image in the style of dudes, you need bright colors.

For example, orange, purple, green, crimson. You can use printed fabrics - checkered or vertical striped.

If sewing or buying new trousers is not part of your parents' plans, then you can choose regular chinos in a bright color or with a print. As a last resort, you can wear regular chinos, but “compensate” for their neutral colors with a bright jacket and shirt.

Shirt

To look like a dude, you need a bright shirt. Choose the color to your taste, there are no restrictions. Colors that are not used in classic men's fashion are welcome, for example, orange or fuchsia.

When choosing a shirt, focus on the color of the other elements. For example, if the trousers are not too bright, then you should choose a shirt with a Hawaiian print. If the trousers or jacket are of acidic shades, then you can choose a shirt in a calmer tone.

The shirt sleeve can be either long or short. The choice depends solely on climatic conditions.

Blazer

One of the main elements of the image is the jacket. It should not resemble a classic-style item; choose a jacket with a checkered pattern or simply made of bright fabric. The style of the jacket may resemble a jacket. The main thing is that the silhouette is free and does not interfere with the child’s movement.

Choose the length of the jacket at your discretion. Hipsters wore elongated jackets, but this length is inconvenient for a child; a standard length or shortened version would be more suitable for a boy. It is better not to button the jacket, or to button it with only one button at the waist.

Instead of a jacket, you can wear a bright knitted cardigan or jumper. This option can be used for a New Year's or other winter party.

But for a kindergarten graduation or other special event, it is still better to buy a jacket or vest. The vest should have a classic cut; a model with a chest pocket in which you can put a bright scarf is ideal.

Shoes

To create a harmonious look, you need to choose the right shoes. It is unlikely that you will be able to find children's shoes with thick rubber soles, as required by the style, but you can find an equivalent replacement.

Leather shoes that copy men's brogues are ideal. But this is an option for older boys. Children aged 6-10 years old can wear regular sandals. But it is better to avoid sneakers and sneakers. Sports style shoes are not suitable for this look.

Accessories

Small details have a significant impact on the formation of the image. Therefore, choosing accessories is a responsible matter.

First of all, you need to choose bright socks. They must be long and not match the color of the trousers. The more contrasting and unexpected the combination, the better. The use of socks with different prints is encouraged. The patterns can be different, the main thing is that they are bright and catchy.

A properly chosen tie will perfectly complement your look. It is recommended to pay attention to narrow ties in bright colors. You can put a bow tie on your child.

Instead of a tie, it is permissible to use a bright neckerchief, which is tied with a soft knot, the ends of the scarf are hidden under the shirt.

An interesting detail of the look will be stylish suspenders. This detail is very functional, as it allows you to do without a trouser belt. In addition, suspenders complement the look, especially if you choose an unusual option, for example, in black and white checkerboard.

Another interesting detail of the look will be a stylish hat. This accessory is similar in appearance to a hat for adults; the ideal choice would be a classic hat with a brim and a satin ribbon at the crown.

In spring or summer, sunglasses will be a great addition to your look. You can choose an accessory of an unusual shape or a model with a bright frame.

Hairstyle

It is very important to comb the boy’s hair correctly so that his hairstyle does not conflict with the image. The best option for the intended image is a cook. To create this hairstyle, you need to lift your hair above your forehead and secure it.

Nowadays it is very fashionable to hold themed parties. One of the options for such entertainment could be a “Hipsters” style party. Let's figure out how to prepare a dude's suit for a young man to exactly match the style of the era.

At any time, young people strived to stand out in some way and become different from the “person from the crowd.” Therefore, there have always been youth subcultures whose fans experimented with their clothing and appearance.

In the 50-60s of the last century, dudes were such a fashionable subculture in our country. They sought to dress brightly and unusually, do unusual hairstyles, and choose original accessories. Hipsters sought to imitate the “Western way of life,” and since in those days almost no one had the opportunity to travel abroad, ideas about how young people in Europe and the United States lived were formed exclusively from magazines, which were extremely difficult to get.

The movement of dudes was condemned in every possible way, both by official bodies and by ordinary people. Moreover, representatives of the subculture stood out against the background of the “gray mass”, like bright tropical birds. However, not only their appearance was condemned, but also their defiant behavior, as well as special slang, which included English words altered in the Russian manner.

Since it was not possible to buy the necessary clothes for dudes in stores, they had to use the services of private tailors or try to sew and alter things themselves. They also made their own hairstyles, using soap solution or liquid sugar syrup instead of styling products.

Modern young people do not need to make such sacrifices to get together for a theme party. But to make a suit in the style of a dude turn out really successful, you will have to try.

Choosing clothes

First of all, you will need a men's dude suit. These clothes are far from classic and look very extravagant. The first dudes wore very wide trousers, however, pretty soon the baggy trousers were replaced by more elegant pipe trousers. Moreover, they must be shortened so that the socks can be seen (we will talk about choosing socks later). In addition, you will need a loose jacket, a bright shirt and a herring tie.

Trousers

Pipe trousers came into fashion in the early 60s. It was believed that the narrower the pants, the more chic the look, and since there were no stretch fabrics in those days, it was extremely difficult to pull on tight trousers.

When choosing a carnival costume, you do not have to follow the fashion of the last century. Pants made of modern fabric will also fit perfectly into the look. The main thing is to choose the right style and color.

You shouldn't wear skinny jeans, they don't fit your intended look at all. You should choose trousers made of a bright fabric, perhaps with a bright check or stripe. Pipe trousers are a narrow model that is straight along the entire length; the legs should end at ankle level.

It’s worth noting right away that skinny cropped trousers look good only on tall and slender guys. If your height is small, then it is better to abandon the seven-eighths length and purchase pipes of classic length. Yes, this is some deviation from the rules, but the legs will not seem short.

If your figure is not athletic, then you can wear pipes, you just need to take into account some points:

• The model must be strictly in size. Don't buy pants that are too tight in the hope that they will make you look slimmer; on the contrary, they will only emphasize your fullness.

• Choose a dark-colored model. In no case, not black; black color in dudes clothes can be used to a minimum. And, for example, purple or burgundy. You can choose a vertical striped option, but it’s better to avoid a large checkered pattern.

Blazer

Now you need to choose a suitable jacket. The model should be loose, even slightly baggy. The jacket and trousers can be made from the same fabric, but the use of fabrics of different colors is still more welcome. Moreover, color combinations can be very diverse. For example, dark purple trousers and a light blue jacket. Or brown trousers with small checks and a dark red jacket with large checks. A combination of striped trousers and a checkered jacket is also possible. In a word, there are no restrictions.

There are also no strict rules in the cut of the jacket. The model can have a standard length or be slightly elongated. Choose lapels of medium width or wide. It is desirable to have pockets - patch or welt with wide flaps.

Shirt

A mandatory element of the costume is a shirt. Leave classic models in neutral colors for creating office looks. A bright shirt is needed for a dude-style look. It can be monochromatic, but you can also choose an option with a bright and large pattern.

Choose the color of the shirt at your discretion. It is advisable to use unusual colors. For example, orange, bright lemon, the color of young greenery.

It is not at all necessary to choose the color of a shirt to match your suit; on the contrary, contrasting combinations are welcome. But here it is important not to cross the fine line between the bright image of a dude and the resemblance of a multi-colored parrot. However, if you are creating an image for a fun party, then shocking will be quite appropriate.

Jumper or cardigan

If you are creating the image of a dude for a New Year's party, then instead of a jacket you can choose a bright jumper or. It would be better if it was a model with contrasting patterns.

An ideal choice for the New Year holidays would be a jumper with a bright “Norwegian” pattern - with deer or snowflakes. You can wear a solid colored shirt in a contrasting color under the jumper.

Shoes

The ideal shoes for a dude-style look are low shoes with thick white rubber soles, the so-called “semolina porridge”. But if you couldn’t find “authentic” shoes, you can choose suitable shoes from your wardrobe.

An excellent choice of shoes would be two-tone brogues, in which the details are made of material in contrasting colors. For example, from dark gray leather and red suede. You can also wear loafers or boat shoes.

Accessories

Don’t forget that it’s the details that make an image, so pay special attention to the selection of accessories.

First of all, let's choose a tie. This detail is not mandatory, however, its presence is highly desirable. The ideal choice would be a narrow tie, which has received the funny nickname “herring”. But it should be taken into account that this type of tie is still better suited for slender guys; for large men it is better to choose a different model.

You need to tie a narrow tie so that a small, slightly asymmetrical knot is formed.

If the ensemble as a whole is bright, then you can choose a plain tie. If the remaining elements of the suit do not have patterns, then purchase a tie with a checkered pattern or a bright diagonal stripe.

You can choose an option with unusual patterns. For example, a tie can be decorated with images of the dude’s favorite musical instruments – saxophones, guitars.

If a man is overweight, then it is better for him to choose a wide tie, and in order not to “fall out” of the image, tie the tie so that its edge is 10 centimeters higher than the waistband of his trousers. A bow tie also fits well into the image of dudes.

Those guys who do not like to wear ties can be advised to pay attention to bright scarves. The scarf is tied with a knot “a la cowboy”; its ends can be tucked under the shirt to be worn by unbuttoning 1-2 top buttons.

An important detail of the image are socks. This detail of the image should be long and always bright. You can choose an option with patterns, because since the trousers will be shortened, the socks will be visible.

A party in the style of “Hipsters” is perhaps the most colorful, crazy and fun of all possible options! A party of freedom and drive, absence of worries and problems, violation of prohibitions and rules, which means what we need!

Do you like such an energetic and inexhaustible rhythm? Then let's start preparing the most stylish party.

Let's introduce those same irrepressible and outrageous fashionistas of the Soviet era, admirers of American culture, lovers of incendiary music and dancing until the morning! In the post-war period, it was they who became the new generation, who did not accept party ideals and strived for a beautiful and easy life. It was self-expression, fueled by the desire to be different from everyone else. Bright clothes of incredible colors, unique slang, facial expressions and gestures. Yes, the dudes made their mark on the gray Soviet everyday life.

Invitation to a dudes party

Let's intrigue right away! We make the invitation to the dude party bright and exciting, like everything else associated with the upcoming holiday. You can do this from the comfort of your home by sending an email invitation or a funny voice message. A postcard in a musical style in the form of a saxophone looks symbolic. Simply cut it out of thick cardboard paper and paint it with bright colors.

But let's not look for easy ways - let's send a secret agent with an anonymous letter. Events such as a party in Soviet times were considered unacceptable and prohibited; only “our own people” could get there. Let the invitee feel like he has been chosen into some secret society, feel all the intrigue of the upcoming event, and of course approach the preparation of his image as a dude with all seriousness. An invitation to a “process” (a narrow party) must be anonymous, secret, and indicate a password for entry. Those who do not know the secret password at the entrance will have to get out and improvise on the go. Yes, and no usual names: only nicknames or names in the American style: Natalie, George, Alex, Kat.

“Stylish dress code” – clothes in the style of dudes

At first glance, it may seem that the dude put on everything that came to hand. This is not so, the dudes chose their clothes with special care, thinking through all the little details and combining colors.

The following were considered incredibly fashionable among dudes (guys):

• narrow trousers (pipe trousers),
• baggy jackets,
• bright stylish shirts
• colored ties and suspenders,
• fashionable shoes (shoes) and high socks (socks) of all colors of the rainbow,
• umbrellas-canes and glasses gave the dude's image a special chic.

It wouldn’t hurt to have a rare fountain pen, a captured cigarette case and a lighter in your jacket pocket. More than one self-respecting dude never missed a chance to show off his rare accessories.
A deck of cards with naked ladies can easily come in handy at a dude-style party.

The clothes of dude girls should be original, stylish and sexy. The female image of that time is compared to a blossoming flower bud.
Chuvas or chuvikhas (girls in the slang manner) wore wide fluffy skirts of various bright colors, with floral prints or polka dots.
An excellent choice would be a fitted crepe de Chine dress with a full petticoat, emphasizing the waist with a contrasting belt or bow. The belt should be in harmony with the shoes.
On your feet are low-heeled shoes or colorful ballet shoes, comfortable and convenient for energetic dancing.
Stockings with visible seams, colored or fishnet tights will perfectly complement the look. Accessories include bright beads, large earrings, bracelets, small bibi hats.

The result should be a fairly harmonious, stylish and feminine image, despite the presence of the most incompatible colors, the presence of contrasts and a large number of accessories.
Those who want to stand out from the crowd can choose a simple wardrobe in black, brown and gray tones. The so-called goons (representatives of the gray mass) will perfectly dilute with their presence mega-positive people in bright outfits.

The girls have neat hairstyles in the style of the 50s, decorated with beautiful headbands, bows and ribbons. The hairstyle should be stylish, but may have a slight negligence. Give preference to stylish curls, neat backcombing and voluminous babbettes.

The men have a funny and spectacular “cock” on their heads – a hairstyle in the style of Elvis Presley, open mannerism and imposing behavior.

Makeup dudes

The dude's makeup can be bright, but not vulgar. He must combine naturalness and self-confidence. A light foundation will give your skin a velvety feel, and a bright blush will highlight your cheekbones. Black voluminous mascara on the eyelashes and sharp arrows on the eyelids will make your look expressive and charming. Carefully applied red lipstick will make your lips more seductive.

Preparing a "hut"

It doesn’t matter what place you choose: a Soviet-era style bar, an apartment or a party planned outdoors. The main thing is that the atmosphere is filled with drive, music and positivity! When choosing a room, it would not be amiss to think about the design of the hall, taking into account the whole scope and emancipation of the dudes’ dances.

The decoration of the hall can be:

• bright balls and open umbrellas;
• lush bright flowers in vases;
• colorful ties and socks hung around the perimeter;
• clippings and cartoons from old newspapers;
• posters with slogans or posters with American jazz stars of the 50s.

And of course, the love for music and rock and roll, in particular, should be felt in everything.
You can decorate the room with fake records. Things made from records with your own hands look very original. These could be plates for snacks, napkin holders and even a chandelier. There are no limits to imagination!
It's not easy, but you can find an antique gramophone or tape recorder with reels. They will perfectly complement the surroundings.
Light music will add playfulness and mystery to the atmosphere, and glowing lights and garlands will decorate the hall in the style of dudes with flickering light.

Menu

The hipsters did not attach much importance to food. Their main goal was music and dancing. Yes, they preferred fashionable American delicacies: hamburgers, French fries, pizza, chips, ice cream in colorful scoops and Pepsi. But it was difficult to get delicacies, so at parties we mostly had our usual food: mimosa and winter salads, sandwiches with sprats and pickled cucumbers. Everything we managed to find.

For a good warm-up, dudes preferred cocktails based on cognac or whiskey mixed with cola. Girls will like lighter options, such as a martini with orange or cherry juice. The more varied the colors in the glasses, the better!

Select the menu according to the taste preferences of your company. Decorate, create, approach serving with your soul!

Music and dancing dudes

Music is the main thing at this crazy holiday! Make a musical mix of that time so that your feet start dancing on their own. Set the drive, fill the atmosphere with energy! And believe me, the guests will appreciate it!

It wouldn’t hurt to watch the movie “Hipsters” again. So to speak, he will be inspired by the spirit of the Soviet era, penetrate and recharge himself in order to convey positivity to the guests.

The rhythms of jazz and rock and roll will immerse you in a period of greedy absorption of music: Secret, Bravo, Aguzarova, Zero and Time Machine, from retro legends Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby. You will make your task easier if you use a wonderful selection of music from the film “Hipsters”.

Script in the style of dudes

Meeting friends

We agree in advance with a couple of witty guys and at the entrance to the “hut” we put a “nook.” It’s more clear to say: a patrol to check the dress code of the dude. This is where friends (friends) will need to know the password, match the style, and, of course, excellent ingenuity and a sense of humor (especially for those who do not know the password).

Guests will be greatly amused by a man in a jacket offering to buy “under the counter” “foreign” stylish things, for example, the necessary accessories for the “outfit”: glasses, ties and beads.

Entertainment dudes

A style party means dancing, dancing and more dancing! Plunge into the rhythms of rock and roll, recharge your batteries with boogie-woogie, twist and swing, slow fox and jive. Yes, dudes loved to dance. You can prepare and learn the basic movements of popular dance styles of those times. A great idea is to organize a master class with a professional dancer. Believe me, everyone will definitely appreciate the new experience!

Hipsters preferred simple comic games with humor and intrigue, open sexual appeal, taking on the “weak”. Entertainment should evoke laughter and strong emotions. Prepare nominations: “The most stylish dude and chick”, “the most fiery dancer”, “the most awesome dance”, “the most crazy music lover”, “slang virtuoso” and others.

Organize dances on newspapers, funny relay races, competitions for the most delicious cocktail and the wildest dance, games of spin the bottle and blind man's buff, parodies of Elvis Presley and other famous personalities of that time. In general, everything that your imagination is capable of. To let your guests relax a little, hold a quiz, an auction, or just questions about the slang of the dudes, their lifestyle, music and dances of that time.

There is an opportunity - invite a saxophonist. Don't forget to discuss the repertoire with him. The saxophone will add unforgettable emotions to the holiday!
If the size of the party allows, arrange a Fire Show, Bartender Show, cigar tasting and imitation casino.
Organize a photo session. It's fun! Guests will be happy to pose in front of the camera. And of course, the photographs will remind you more than once of yourself with pleasant memories of the party.

The main thing is to approach the preparation of the event with soul and spirit - unforgettable emotions are guaranteed!

A dress is the most feminine and attractive thing. We already know many different styles of dresses: a small black dress, a long white dress, an A-line dress. More elaborate outfits also attract attention. In the 40s and 60s, dresses in the style of dudes came into fashion. These exquisite dress designs were distinguished by their variety. Tight-fitting styles, as well as dresses with a tight-fitting top and a fluffy bottom, were popular.

To create maximum pomp, girls wore petticoats. Moreover, each petticoat differed in shade. This gave the dresses originality and bright colors. The patterns on the dresses were also different. Manufacturers used polka dots, stripes, and floral patterns. The brighter the colors used to create the outfits, the more advantageous the dress looked.

Dress models in the style of a dude

The most popular dresses are in the style of the 60s with a full skirt and an A-line silhouette. The sleeves were either completely absent or shaped like lanterns. Often girls sewed their own dresses, drawing design ideas from foreign fashion magazines. Initially, an evening dress in the dude style was distinguished by flashy bright colors. Only in the sixties did products acquire color restraint and tenderness.

There are several bright models of dresses in the dude style for modern girls and women :

• Prom dress in dude style. If you are going to such an important event, decide whether your outfit will be full or fitted. Short outfits, above knee level, with an open top are in fashion. Particularly popular are options with a wide skirt, the length of which is slightly shorter than the petticoat, the latter differs from it in shade. Products made of shiny material, with thin straps and a long skirt, gathered with special tucks along the entire length, are trendy.

• Wedding dress in style. Today, many brides prefer to create a wedding ceremony in a certain style. If you are attracted by elaborate outfits, expressive hairstyles and the whirlwind of events, choose a playful wedding dress. Models up to the knee and below the knee look great with a beautiful belt and expressive makeup. You can complement the look with gloves, a veil and stylish shoes. Flowers look beautiful and stylized in a wedding hairstyle.

• Elegant dresses. These models are most relevant at discotheques and parties. If you are planning a holiday dedicated to the era of dudes, take a closer look at dresses with polka dots, black and white, red and black, and bright blue dresses. Products made from silk and knitwear look beautiful. Be sure to choose a fabric that is comfortable for you.

Features of clothing style

Today, not only a retro dress in the dude style gives off this style. Mandatory attributes of the direction are bright and rich makeup, chic hairstyle, catchy accessories. At one time, this outfit looked extremely unconventional.

Shocking outfits with full skirts and hourglass silhouette dresses have always stood out with bright jewelry and eye-catching accessories. The belt played an important role - bright and quite wide, it definitely stood out and emphasized attractive female curves.

The photo shows that designers today are striving to revive this style and bring it closer to the requirements of modern times. Large circles and overly flashy designs and huge peas are used less and less. Dresses have become more elegant. But the length of the outfit remains mandatory - slightly above or slightly below the knee.

At that time, young beauties complemented their outfits with knee socks or socks. Nowadays, you can add tights or comfortable stockings to your dude look. No one forbids experimenting. After all, in those distant times, representatives of the Soviet subculture were not afraid to go against the crowd!
Choose your style

Designers offer a lot of interesting winning options in which every girl will look stunning. If you don’t want to look like everyone else and want to emphasize your individuality, choose models in which the belt is replaced by a thin and fluffy bow. To create airiness, fashion designers use delicate shades and an open top.

You should also pay attention to outfits with a V-neck and a high waistline. This delicate style is perfect for both slender girls of model appearance and more curvaceous representatives of the fair sex.

An ideal option for plus-size women would be a dress with long sleeves and a medium-length skirt. If you have a large bottom, it is important that there are ruffles and flounces at the top, then the attention of others will be directed to the chest and arms. Also, a sheath dress made of thick fabric with polka dots or vertical stripes suits plus-size women.

Any woman will rightfully appreciate a cropped dress with a large neckline, worn over a light, contrasting shirt. Styles with flared sleeves and a long hem are well suited for the holiday.

A slightly boyish style will be created by loose-fitting shirt dresses. Moreover, they have a closed collar and long sleeves. A deep neckline or an open back - the dude style allows everything, so feel free to go in search of the perfect model!
How to put together an ensemble with a “stylish” dress?

Dresses in the style of dudes never go out of fashion and are suitable for all girls who are not afraid to look bright and extravagant. Vintage items add charm, femininity and create a unique look. A wide range of styles in the dude style allows you to choose the perfect outfit that allows you to look harmonious and elegant.

A correctly created ensemble turns any girl into a queen, so it is important to choose accessories and clothing details. A satin belt, an openwork shawl or a silk scarf will help to accentuate your style and highlight your figure. Hairpins, colored hoops, bracelets, large multi-colored beads or a brooch will help decorate a woman's look. You shouldn’t use a lot of details; it’s better to choose one rich and stylish accessory that allows you to create an attractive image.

Stylists do not recommend combining clothing items with different patterns. Skirts with polka dots or flowers go harmoniously with dark plain blouses. Solid color models look beautiful, while concentric circles and large colored polka dots in tandem look tacky.

Sleeveless flower-style models are perfectly combined with a thin bolero or long gloves. Products with long sleeves or lanterns are combined with high-heeled shoes. Not only accessories, but also hairstyle and makeup will allow you to emphasize your individuality.

Where to buy a “stylish” dress?

The advantage of products in the style of the 50s is their availability. Today it is not difficult to find “stylish” decoration in stores, but a dress from grandma’s chest remains a classic. You can buy a dress in the dude style inexpensively in an online store, which is very convenient and profitable for buyers. A wide selection will allow you to choose a unique outfit of any size and color. If you dream of sewing a dress with your own hands, then you can use online patterns or your own sketches.

How to wear a dude style outfit?

The dress in the dude style is very light, airy, romantic and festive. It is believed that it suits girls with an ideal figure - those with a slender figure and a thin waist. Without a doubt, for girls with an hourglass silhouette, this dress is an ideal option. It will emphasize a thin waist and luxurious breasts.

However, this dress will suit other body shapes as well. A full, sunny skirt will help hide excess hip volume and balance triangle or inverted triangle shapes. Therefore, do not be afraid to experiment, create bold images and original ensembles! Then you will become inimitable, bright, and will delight men.

The dude style experienced its heyday in the middle of the 20th century. It was a kind of challenge for Soviet youth to the gray and monotonous everyday life. But even after the peak of the subculture’s popularity has passed, there is periodically a surge of interest in this unusual and vibrant direction.

Dude style is a way to make your life brighter

The first dudes were “noticed” in the USSR in the first years after the end of World War II. These were the children of diplomats and trade workers - those who often went on trips abroad. Observing Western life, young people also sought to somehow stand out, to emphasize their individuality. Western fashion trends, music and other attributes of the new subculture were taken as the basis. Thus began the history of a new subculture and everything that was connected with it.

The young people initially called themselves staffers, that is, those who follow the example of the United States. However, in 1949, on the pages of the then popular satirical magazine “Crocodile”, a feuilleton about staffers was published, in which their behavior was called unworthy and even harmful for the conservative Soviet society. In this feuilleton, its author Belyaev used the word “hipsters” for the first time. Surprisingly, fans of the ever-expanding movement were not at all offended and, reasonably reasoning that the new word comes from the concept of “style,” finally renamed themselves dudes.

Gradually, the outfits of fans of the subculture changed. Women's clothing has especially changed, becoming more elegant and functional. However, due to constant pressure from the outside, by the mid-60s the movement had practically disappeared. But even now it is considered very original and stylish to throw a party in this direction and try on unusual and extraordinary images, with the help of which everything everyday and ordinary was once challenged.

Characteristics and features of the direction

The main feature of women's clothing in the dude style is expressive and colorful images that emphasize femininity.

Other distinctive features of the subculture include:

• extraordinary hairstyles;
• use of flashy large jewelry;
• an abundance of extravagant decor on wardrobe elements;
• bright makeup;
• special love for gloves.

Stylish wardrobe from the 50s

Dresses

The main attribute of the wardrobe for women was a fitted dress with a flared bottom. To give his skirt more volume, several tulle petticoats were worn underneath it. At the same time, the top of the clothing could be decorated with a deep open neckline or wide straps. The sleeve could be of any length or absent altogether. Puffed sleeves were very popular. Often the outfit was draped on the bodice.

Decorative elements (ruffles and lace) were generously used as additions. The most chic thing was considered to be a wide bright ribbon tied at the waist under the bodice with a large bow. The length of this item of clothing, as a rule, was medium - to the knees.

Skirts

The classic option was a midi skirt. In some cases, for example, for cocktail parties, it was possible to reduce the length to mini. Initially, they were as fluffy as dresses, but over time they “transformed” and became shorter and narrower.

Blouses

They are distinguished by a simple, but not classic style. They can be with long or short sleeves or without them at all. Collars range from rounded to sharp-edged models.

The main requirement is the absence of shoulder pads.

Trousers

The dude style trousers were slightly cropped, which made it possible to show off to everyone such a bright detail as colorful socks. The trousers had a variety of cuts, but flared or tapered models were more popular. In the early 60s, pipe trousers came into fashion.

Today, breeches, capri pants, and Bermuda shorts are perfect for the look.

Jackets

A jacket with slightly widened shoulders and square pockets is considered a must-have for a dude's wardrobe. The most popular option is in the Chanel style - without a collar and with trim along the hem. Another popular attribute in the wardrobe of stylish women is grace (a type of corset without lacing) instead of underwear. This element made it possible to emphasize the shape and make the figure more slender and fit.

Using these wardrobe elements, putting together a themed outfit for a corporate event or club party will not be difficult.

Color solutions and fashionable prints

If you are planning a party and how to dress in a retro dude style is a top priority, you need to remember that all images should be bright and varied.
