There is a special style that is characterized by pretentiousness and pomp, baroque. Originated once, this style is present in every new collection of famous designers.
Story
Baroque style in the images of beautiful ladies was necessarily associated with richly embroidered corsets, fluffy skirts, sometimes elongated shape.
There was a certain theatricality in the women's looks, silhouettes in all ways approaching the shape of an hourglass.
Historic baroque dresses of brocade and silk were decorated with gold or silver embroidery, in which intricate curls and floral motifs prevailed. Pomp added crinoline or rings.
The colors were chosen to be saturated, so that on their background gold and silver embroidery looked especially expressive and rich.
Primary colors were burgundy and emerald, gold and pearl, purple and brown.
The skin of the face was diligently whitened, the lips were given expression and brightness, blush was applied and the flies were created (artificial moles). Women made high hairstyles with curls of hair.
Modern models
The modern manifestation of this style is not so pompous and pretentious. It is enough to use only one element or characteristic to form a royal and harmoniously folded image.
Baroque dresses are no longer those bulky, uncomfortable designs with multi-layered skirts. Now the image can be formed from a fluffy short skirt, which will be richly decorated with lace, bows and elements of embroidery.
Another successful option is a balloon dress, combined with a wide belt decorated with stones.
Baroque style involves the use of:
- draperies;
- decor in the form of beads and stones;
- bows and ribbons;
- Ruche and lace.
But the most obvious signs of a dress belonging to this style are gold and silver intricate appliqués.
A dress in this style cannot be too elaborate, since baroque does not even imply the existence of this concept.
The rich look of the dress is given not only by embroidered ornaments. For several seasons floral or geometric prints are popular. Here we can consider not only the options we are used to, but also the most unusual color patterns, for example, leopard.
More recently, a new fashionable trend has emerged that is directly related to the Baroque. On light dresses created from airy fabric, artwork from the era when baroque style was born is displayed.
Thin strap - the final touch to the fashionable image.
In addition to classic colors, modern designers offer interesting variations. Now embroidery or appliqués are arranged in various colors.
Evening
Evening dresses are impressive variety of silhouettes. Lush, straight, symmetrical, mermaid-style models of velvet, silk and brocade are embroidered mostly with gold thread and stones, lace appliqué characteristic of Renaissance clothing is used.
Designers have not forgotten about the basque - a fashionable element of the time.
Wedding
The dress for the bride in the Baroque style should have magnificent and even fancy shapes of incredible width, consist of heavy fabrics (thick velvet or rustling satin, brocade), covered with embroidery of gold and silver threads. Everything must match the luxurious and elegant image.
As always, special attention is paid to the corset: decorative lacing and precious stones are obligatory elements.
A pomp and a baroque wedding dress is given by a train and decorated back.
The bride must present herself as the empress. All her gestures, demeanor and the ability to keep herself in society should be on top.
You should not think that such a rich and fancy dress is self-sufficient and does not need any decorations. Even as needed. And not any decorations, but exquisite and natural.
On every day
In everyday images, there may be elements of the Baroque, which should unobtrusively attract attention and carry notes of vintage. It is permissible to choose dresses with puffy skirts with special colors and simple top.
The bottom and top of one dress should balance each other - this is a mandatory rule for the formation of the image in the Baroque style.
As for the styles, you can stay on the direct options or A-silhouette midi length. A skirt-year also serves as a good option for a casual dress in the Baroque style. Primary colors are black, navy, red and deep green.
Cut-out in the form of a semicircle or a V-shaped neckline - the main options that in these dresses will look decent. Vintage ornaments or frills are also essential elements for everyday wear.
Do not forget about the rules according to which the colors are selected. Create a winning image is also possible due to contrasts. One of the colors should be duplicated in the additional elements of the image.
Office style can have baroque elements and look strictly, discreetly and richly. To do this, fit a strict straight dress with gold or silver decor.
Modern baroque style is represented by a large selection of loose dresses, painted in bright patterns. You can even choose a simple dress, but if you combine it with a jacket or cardigan in the Baroque style, your image will look expensive, elegant and discreet.
What to wear
If it's cool outside, then you can wear a short jacket or blazer along with the dress. For the fall is to get a cashmere coat, which will be performed in the same color with the dress.
For an evening look, it makes sense to pick up a veil of lace, long gloves, and a fur cloak.
For everyday dress you can pick up light scarves with printed elements. If the dress does not look bright enough, then a bright belt will help to save the situation.
Accessories must be bright, extraordinary and luxurious, to match the selected dress. Allow to choose massive jewels with precious stones. But the handbag may be small. Shoes with embroidered elements, heeled, suede, with lacing are welcome.
Casual images do not require expressive jewelry, as well as fancy shoes will be superfluous. But the classic and simplicity will allow you to create a good and appropriate image for any occasion.
On the head it is not necessary to build towers and twist curls, but the decorations can be woven into the hair.
