The modern world of fashion is full of diversity and many unusual ideas. The unconventional views of designers relate to classic clothing. If in the old days a standard classic suit consisted only of sets with trousers or a skirt, now shorts in a classical style are quite acceptable.
Short Origin History
According to historical data, the first shorts appeared at the beginning of the nineteenth century, representing loose-cut trousers, the length of which was slightly below the knee. Then, such shorts were an exclusively masculine attribute of the wardrobe and the favorite clothing of golfers.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the fashion for shorts spread everywhere, and this type of clothing became available for women, and a little later shorts became the classic choice of outdoor enthusiasts. Among the many models of shorts that were rapidly appearing in the fashion world, classic shorts were of particular importance, which began their existence by becoming part of the clothes of athletes and pioneers.
And modern couturiers have led to the fact that shorts can even be considered part of a classic business suit if they have a restrained length and sophisticated fit, and do not look vulgar.
Material
The most common material used to make classic shorts is suit fabric. Often, these shorts have clear ironed arrows and small lapels that add a touch of coquetry to a strict model.
Tweed shorts are also popular for a cooler season. But most often, a model made of this material is not used as an independent element, but comes complete with a stylish, shortened tweed jacket.
For the hot summer period, classic linen and cotton shorts are made. Such models are well ventilated and do not create discomfort in extreme heat.
What to wear?
Many may have a characteristic question: what to wear with classic women's shorts? And indeed, at first glance, drawing up an image with this attribute of a wardrobe may seem one of the most difficult tasks. But everything is quite simple, the main thing is to adhere to some rules:
- If the shorts are short, you should choose a more restrained and closed top;
- For elongated shorts to the knee, you can pick up a more open top, with a shallow neckline;
- Do not combine short classic shorts with vulgar, defiant shoes.
Let us consider in more detail with what things classic shorts are most successfully combined.
Classic black shorts are perfect for blouses of light shades, for example, to cream, white, ivory or light lemon shade. Combining short classic shorts (with or without lapels) and a discreet blouse with a collar under the throat, you can get a very beautiful and sophisticated look in a business style.
Classic often dictates the rules, part of which is the presence of a jacket, blazer or jacket. Classic shorts can easily be combined with any of these options. In addition, this model of shorts goes well with outerwear, whether it be a light cloak, a warm coat or even a daring leather jacket.
Knee-length shorts can also be very successfully combined with all of the above items, but they look most harmonious with a classic white cotton shirt. Such an outfit will fit any office dress code.
Elongated shorts allow the choice of a more informal top, for example, light tops from flowing fabric, with a shallow neckline. Or restrained models of T-shirts and t-shirts in a casual style, since sports details will simplify the image, introducing disharmony into it.
In the choice of shoes should also adhere to more restrained models. Pumps are perfect for shoes like on any heel: high, medium or low heels - in any case, this model will look great with shorts.
It is possible to combine shorts with high-heeled shoes with a hidden platform, only if the shorts are knee-length or slightly lower. In any other cases, the image will turn out to be vulgar and depraved, even despite the presence of an element of classics.
In addition, any neat medium-heeled shoes or elegant ballet flats with a rounded and slightly pointed toe will suit shorts. It is necessary to ensure that the shoes fit the color scheme of the whole image, otherwise it will turn out to be tasteless and inappropriate.
