Once, adventurers from the world of fairy-tale fashion took advantage of the vanity of the fairy-tale king and sewed him to match an outfit of unprecedented beauty. The outfit had one feature - it was invisible. Craftsmen, to throw dust in their eyes, of course, would not dare to fool his majesty, if not for the silence of the flattering courtiers.

In a fairy tale, they will answer me, everything is embellished, exaggerated, in a word - not quite natural, but it is precisely in fairy tales that the most vivid human characters and their typical features emerge.

After watching dozens of videos of fashion bloggers that reveal the secrets of the fashion court for a simple girl from the people, I again felt like a little girl who fell into a fairy tale ... "About the new outfit of the king."

1. Mocking or distorting a healthy taste in clothing

For me, the following modern trends in women's clothing have become the most obvious fashionable slaps in the face of common sense:

1. Oversize - outerwear, as if removed from someone else's shoulder. It can be very voluminous jackets, coats, down jackets or sheepskin coats.
2. “Layering” is a messy and indiscriminate layering of things of various styles, under which clothes “from someone else’s shoulder” were invented.
3. A rough aviator sheepskin jacket paired with rude boots with massive soles.
4. Sneakers on the platform, boots with deliberately hypertrophied heels and square toes.
5. Excessively wide, shapeless, baggy clothes - sweaters, jackets, shirts.

Here they are - the main modern symbols of female freedom.

All those who disagree with this state of affairs are declared strange people with strange personal tastes.

2. Shameless copying of each other, polyphonic unanimous translation of other people's thoughts

Browse 10-20 blogs in one time frame and you will be surprised: all girls broadcast about the same thing, even with the same words:

• layering (sports jackets, down jackets and fur coats, worn at the same time), oversize down jackets (dimensionless quilt) and cute faux fur coats (to many they resemble the wool of the cartoon character Cheburashka).
• "total bow" in one color - looks expensive, even if made up of cheap things;
• minimalism is a way to look expensive;
• the best things in order to look expensive and stylish - in the men's department;
• women's sports shoes are modern and practical;
• if a woman dresses so as to please a man, she will not feel comfortable.

3. The desire to give ridiculous images as relevant: the struggle of female bloggers for the title "Miss Absurdity"

In an effort to be "different and original," bloggers have resorted to the banal childish design of images. Let me give you the most memorable bows:

1. Gray "hoodie" + a man's oversize jacket of sand color in a cage + black cycle tracks to the knees + white sneakers on a bare foot.
2. A straight-cut knit sweater up to the middle of the thigh with a mustard collar-collar + thick black tights + high boots + a waist bag, worn over the shoulder and head (these can often be seen on the belts of merchants in urban markets, they store the proceeds).
3. Fur coat made of faux fur pink, blue, brick or mustard.
4. Slim blue sports jacket + long elegant cashmere coat in pastel shade.

4. "Antitrends" of the things that previously seemed trendy to bloggers

The screensaver for such a video usually picks up a picture that depicts a blogger girl who wrinkles her face, as if from a foul smell; while her palms are crossed in a prohibition sign.

In a video about fashionable "antitrends", female bloggers that urine are booing things that they praised on their own channel a few months ago.

5. The stylist’s misunderstanding of the requests of the audience to which he / she addresses

This item appeared thanks to hundreds of ironic, funny or disappointed comments under video blogs of stylists-educators. Here is a list of the main complaints from the people:

• "Rather, it would be fashionable for these creepy ... boots / down jackets / heels / tops / manicure / colors / styles / video blogs."
• "Things from last season have just reached our little town, and you are already offering me to throw out a down jacket with a flared skirt, which I just bought for a lot of money."
• "Without warmed boots and fur coats made of natural fur in our latitudes cannot survive."
• "How can I listen to fashionable advice from a person who: hasn’t washed his head / is vulgarly expressed / wears a grandmother’s blouse with beads."

6. Fashionable censorship of femininity and elegance. The reverence of female bloggers for the tastes of male stylists of non-traditional sexual orientation

The opinion, taken up by female bloggers that the modern girl does not feel confident and comfortable in classical female things, is spread with the perseverance of ideological propaganda.

The consciousness of insecure or doubting women is brazenly squeezed and even severely broken in favor of wearing men's clothing.

I'm not going to blame the stylists for not wanting to please men. On the contrary, they really want to like it, sometimes to the full imitation and servile admiration, but only to male stylists of non-traditional sexual orientation.

7. Things from the men's department

The fact that things from the men's wardrobe are better and more stylish, each girl who maintains a fashion blog speaks enthusiastically of an adherent of network marketing.

Things from the men's departments of budgetary clothing stores really look better than women's, but from this, nevertheless, they do not cease to be men's.

Imitating male stylists, female bloggers in an enthusiastic voice turning into a conspiratorial whisper teach us to purchase in the men's department: shirts, t-shirts, cashmere sweaters and voluminous jackets.

8. A basic wardrobe that looks more like a robe

10 years ago, in the Barbie doll series, there were always models marked with the “Basic” marking on the packaging: they were cheaper, thanks to the very “basic” wardrobe, as they would say now.

Basic Wardrobe is another modern dogma instilled by female bloggers.

The main advantage of this wardrobe is the interchangeable things of pastel shades and standard colors. For example:

• a white (men's) shirt, blue jeans, sneakers + a sweater draped over the shoulders, with sleeves tied to the chest (in a manly manner);
• white (men's) t-shirt, blue jeans, sneakers;
• black throat top, black trousers, voluminous (male) jacket + boots (male type) with a rough sole;
• gray golf jacket, blue jeans + white (men's) shirt, worn over the jacket.

With the filing of smiling girls, the fashion for wearing a robe does not cause protests among young spectators. After all, according to stylists, it is enough to add earrings from the department of jewelry of the mass market, and the individuality of the image is guaranteed to you.

9. How to look expensive: indulgent search for analogues of clothes of famous brands on the sites of mass markets. Prohibition of wearing analogues

To diversify their content, girls-stylists make selections of things analogous to expensive brands. Analogs of clothes of famous brands can be found on the websites of budget online stores.

The charm of these clothes, with the absence of a magic tag, quickly evaporates, and they remain, at best, just things or strange things, but still with a high cost.

Another part of bloggers urges girls from the people to keep their distance and not to claim inaccessible brands.

The purchase of similar items is associated with shameful provincialism.

10. Do not wash, so ride: a fashionable round dance around an empty place

The lack of taste and undeveloped creative abilities lead the army of fashionable bloggers to a sad uniformity. Competition and the struggle for the number of views force us to cook up more and more bright wrappers to empty "content".

Girls, essentially speaking about the same thing, camouflage the void with snatchy humor, “mimicry,” or, conversely, cynicism and arrogance.

Some try to seem overly sweet, but the slipping “pooh” and “tonalka” give out their true content. The second ones are dissatisfied with everything and everything (lips expressing discontent in a critical grin and grimacing express their discontent): these stylists chop the truth of the uterus, not embarrassed in expressions, which in itself constitutes a special subject of their pride.

For contrast, I suggest listening to an interview with Coco Chanel, which she gave to French television in 1969. Elegance and naturalness, inner content and selectivity; as well as freedom of thought balanced by common sense - there is clearly something for modern bloggers-stylists to learn from Mademoiselle Chanel. Although, they would rather find her tastes and judgments too personal and too strange.
