It would seem: heat everywhere - and on the sea coast, and outside the city, and in its center - equally exhausting. And why then the norms should differ in relation to what to wear, and what - no? First of all, the case is in those social roles that we play in different circumstances. Thus, the beach holiday suggests relaxation and a drastic lack of obligations, finding in the village of nature - peacefulness and unity with the world around ... And in the stone jungle, we want it or not, but we continue to remain participants in the road, workers, students, mothers, daughters, employees, students, moms, daughters, employees, students, moms, daughters visitors, buyers and so on. We contact with a huge number of people, go from one place to another (and in each of them they received their wishes for appearance ...), we carry out all sorts of tasks. That is why it is so important to look appropriate, despite the heat.
So, what objects of the wardrobe can be called "non-graphic people" for a town-dweller, with a trembling relating to etiquette?
1. Shorts, much higher than the knee. Alas, for the city short, barely covering buttocks, models are too open, even if they are made of cotton, and not from jeans. However, there is also good news: if you wear a long cardigan, overlapping them from behind in length, then this option can be called permissible.
The city should refuse short shorts and beach shoes.
2. Vietnamese and other beach shoes. Yes, we love to "spit" in them: it gives the almost forgotten child's feeling of complete freedom. But within the city, such shoes are inappropriate. Moreover, it is extremely traumatic: can "outpat" defenseless fingers in the crowd. In addition, flip flops can easily fly and put you into the funny position of Bosyak in the middle of the street. And how many people such "slippers" fell into the subway on the rails at the entrance to the car and stuck under pedals when driving a car ...
3. Naive cotton sundresses on thin straps. In such dresses, it is good to create an image of a rigid lady, languid and tender. They also carry us out with thoughts in the field, to the river, on the veranda of the country house, to the dusty old books from the grandmother's attic ... Unfortunately, all this is badly compatible with an active urban life. But if you still want to create a similar image, I enhanced it in the context of time and place, there is a trick: to draw a jacket or cardigan on the shoulders. You can even go further: adding a light scarf or neck scarf. If it succeeds, the problem is solved: fragile shoulders are securely hidden, the outfit lines have become clearer and decorated, and the style is more collected.
