Scandinavian style in clothes is a very interesting modern trend. On the one hand, it is suitable for most climatic zones of our country. And on the other - authentic, original, unusual. It's just like that to stand out from the crowd.
The Scandinavian style embodies fashion, comfort and warmth. Many famous couturiers add traditional Scandinavian elements to their fashion collections. In clothing, the Scandinavian style is characterized by a restrained cold color scheme, clean lines and simplicity of cut. It is fundamentally different from the glamor of the French style and the bright diversity of Italian fashion. However, it is not as conservative as the German national style. The main feature of such clothes is practicality. It should be comfortable, suitable for daily use and to keep the heat securely.
Features Scandinavian style
As in every national style, the Scandinavian has its own authentic elements, thanks to which this style is easily recognizable. The visiting card of the Scandinavian style is a characteristic national ornament, quiet color solutions with an abundance of light colors and an abundance of knitted things and accessories. Widely used transverse strips in the upper part of the wardrobe. From figures more often there are large and small diamonds, from which the ornament is formed: a cage, a chessboard, snowflakes, deer, etc. Ornament is not only an ornament, but has a utilitarian meaning: it is assumed that it protects from evil spirits, evil eye and other evil spirits. No less important is the use in clothing of natural fabrics: cotton, linen, wool.
Scandinavian style should be complemented by suitable accessories. The main material for them is silver. Jewelery from silver is a national feature of Norwegians, Swedes, Danes. Massive silver ornaments with sharp edges are also designed to drive away dark forces, and only in the second turn serve for beauty.
Scandinavian style and modern fashion
World popularity of the Scandinavian style came after the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer (Norway, 1994). Then everyone was conquered by the incredibly warm, comfortable and original sweaters of the Norwegians. They successfully replaced the traditional thick "clumsy" outerwear. Originally Scandinavian style became fashionable for men's clothing. But now the modern interpretation of Scandinavian style is offered by many designers for women's clothes.
The main emphasis is on voluminous knitted things: sweaters, sweaters, waistcoats of free cut. Modelers do not experiment especially with patterns, paying tribute to traditional rhombuses, snowflakes, Christmas trees, triangles, etc. An indispensable element of decor are vertical straight lines or zigzag strips, between which ornamental patterns are formed. A real chic are things that are stylized as antiquities.
In addition to traditional outerwear, sweaters, caps, scarves and prints, designers have expanded the elements of the wardrobe. Now the Scandinavian style offers dresses, cardigans, skirts, trousers, and even underwear, shorts, bodysuits, corsets. And if these clothes are supplemented with fluffy fur boots, mittens on elastic bands, knitted or fur gaiters, similar to boots, the image of a trendy Nordic girl will be complete. Among young girls it becomes fashionable to combine a fluffy warm top with a light and even slightly frivolous bottom. For example, elegantly looks a combination of thick knitted sweater with a flowing chiffon or silk skirt, decorated with Scandinavian prints in a single style.
