They say that traveling opens the mind. And it's true; Those of you who have gone to any city outside the country will have noticed that each one has its own personality and, of course, a different way of dressing technologyify.
The casual French air is not the same as the Italian seducer,
or the Swedish minimalist that the English "I put it all on". The
good thing is to grab from here and there and make your own style or find what
you like the most and put it on. worldbeautytips
In short, and despite the attempts of brands to dress us
all the same anywhere on the planet there are always trends that each country
or city conserves like gold in cloth. Here are some of the ones I like the
most.
They say travel broadens the mind. And those of you
who’ve spent several hours standing in a mile-long queue waiting for a delayed
Ryanair flight to board will grasp fully the truly mind-altering effects seeing
the world can have.
Perhaps less obvious, though, is that going abroad can
also help jump-start your style. Comical stereotypes aside (we’ll take a rain check
on the Frenchman’s black beret and garlic garland), exploring some of the
world’s most stylish cities can help equip you with some killer wardrobe moves
you wouldn’t have learned if you’d just stayed home.
Alas, with just a few weeks’ holiday a year (and business
trips spent staring at conference room walls), there’s only so much ground you
can cover.
Dress Minimalist (like the boys from
Stockholm)
Some say that Nordic clothing is boring
for being monochromatic. I say the opposite is classic, tasteful and durable.
His way of dressing defines his way of being a lot: nothing to pretend what he
is not and always preach with modesty. And yes, it is fashionable. Just look at
the international catwalks to realize the influence of Swedish designers or
their international brands such as H&M or COS. When you see straight lines,
abundance of black and white and resistant materials do not hesitate: it is
Swedish fashion.
Master Minimalism (Like The
Men Of Stockholm)
You say boring, Stockholm’s
denizens say tasteful, classic and timeless. Known for their stripped-back
approach to style, the Swedish capital’s modestly dressed men make it
Scandinavia’s standard-bearer for fashion – much to the chagrin of its Nordic
neighbours.
Not convinced? Try a quick
Google search. There’s a whole (borderline obsessive) Pinterest sub-genre
dedicated to this chilly city’s love of pared-back, monochromatic interiors.
And there’s an equally fervent appreciation of the natives’ wardrobes, with
Tumblrs bursting at the seams full of shots of the population’s unofficial
uniform of clean lines in black and white.
Take your cue from
Stockholm’s most stylish by stripping back your palette and sharpening your
silhouette – it’s the quickest route to Scandi cool.
The French "I don't know
what" (the one the boys have in Paris)
If the French are proud of something
(apart from their cheeses and wines), it is their fashion. And it is true
because when you walk through Paris you realize that everything (even the
Parisians) seem to merge with the city making the whole seem more beautiful,
more beautiful and (best of all) as effortless.
Well, that's the "I don't know
what" French; be perfect without looking like it. And it has to be
something cultural because other French cities do not have that gift, it is
only in Paris. I think it has a lot to do with the good taste of Parisians when
it comes to dressing, adding to the basic seasonal garments to always be up to
date. This is how it is normal to see a boy with trousers or a basic shirt but
combined with a raincoat or some rabidly topical shoes. That is having class.
Look Effortless (Like The Men
Of Paris)
They don’t just lay claim to
producing the finest cheese and wine, the French are pretty darned proud of
their style too. And none of them more so than the Parisians.
Sophisticated, elegantly
masculine and with no shortage of that zero-f**ks-given nonchalance so specific
to French style (yes, that je ne sais quoi), the men of Paris are infuriatingly
good at making not trying too hard look easy.
Like most things the French
excel at, the success of Parisian men’s style lies in the fact that it shows a
clear appreciation of good taste. Whether it’s a perfectly cut trouser or a
glove-fit Breton shirt, Parisians pride themselves on their ability to start
with the basics, adding in bits for flair (those lightweight scarves) as they
go.
Follow the best-dressed
Frenchmen by nailing the cornerstones of your wardrobe first, and then
individualise with a few eye-catching pieces. You’ll appear stylish without
looking like you’ve gone to pains to get there.
