Think Already

BeautyHack columnist Tatyana Yakimova told why it is important not to be shy and wear tight-fitting clothes at any age, if your figure allows you.

The other day an old friend from the beauty world came to see me in Hugge. A genius of PR, a handsome man and just a good person, who until recently was one and a half times more: sudden health problems forced him to go on a diet and do yoga. As a result, Inna not only recovered, but also received a wonderful fat bonus: minus 20 cm in the waist and minus 10 in the hips. That is, captivating, I'm not afraid of this word, bends.

True, under the trendy oversized sweater, this fascination did not catch the eye, by no means.

But when Inna was trying on a silk top (it’s also impossible to say that it was close-fitting), I saw the curves and insidiously suggested trying on a knitted dress Isabel Marant: such a casual-casual, but tailored to the style of the guitar.

Inna measured it.

And the moment of triumph came: her femininity, and the diet with yoga, and my cunning, of course.

"Take it !!!" - I yelled.

To which she confidently replied: "I already have one dress for my figure."

Has already.

One!

I tried to remember which of my friends "shyly and strictly" emphasized their harmony - it turned out that none.

Well, they, of course, look great in cocktail dresses every six months, but definitely under an XXL jacket. And over a tight turtleneck they always wear a boyfriend's shirt, the same jacket or oversized cardigan.

Legs sometimes show - and thanks for that.

Hmm, ugly fashion has gone too far, if a woman, having acquired magnificent body lines (with God's help and a lot of effort), somehow hesitates to emphasize these lines. Note: do not flaunt, do not demonstrate in all cunning ways, but simply emphasize.

As my master Vovka (a real bumpkin, but absolutely irreplaceable on the farm) said with a satisfied grin: vooooot, your feminism, so that it is.

Don't touch feminism, Vovka! It's trends that are to blame.

Thanks to them, fewer decent women demonstrate their blatant femininity.

And I like these beauties.

Let them walk in tight dresses. Or in a pencil skirt and a tight turtleneck (and no boyfriend shirt for you!).

As the heroine of an English novel of the 60s said: in spite of sidelong glances, I buy jeans and a shirt one size smaller than necessary.

Interesting thought, by the way.

And not at all patriarchal.

Here Audrey Hepburn often emphasized the figure. So what?

A style icon for all time.

And no vulgarity.

And she had such rules of life that if you followed them all, heaven on earth would come.

I generally keep quiet about Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren.

Yes, it was a different era.

But beauty is!

And now even in the movies: if the heroine is wearing a tight-fitting dress, it means that she is a vamp, a bitch, a materialistic deceiver or a spiritually selfish woman. But beneath something indistinct, modest and unmarked is the very kindness and the abyss of intelligence.

In general, I propose this spring to remember everything tight: pencil skirts, trousers or jeans-cigarettes, tight-fitting dresses (ok, let them be knee-deep) …

And if the skirts and trousers are wide, then with uuuy little turtlenecks.

I love oversize! Both on yourself and on others. But when there is too much of it, it's somehow boring.

It will turn out: there are a lot of stylish girls, but there is no one to admire.

But everyone can give a master class on how to "masterly mix" flying dresses with sneakers and jeans, sweatpants with kitten heels, wide-leg pants with a hoodie, grandmother's cardigans with grandfather's jeans, etc.

(I won't say anything about boots at all. This is no longer Pretty Woman, but a stylish addition to a parachute-sized hoodie).

Let's return a tight dress with a tight coat.
