BLAZER - KEYNOTE OF ELEGANCE The blazer. I suppose there is at least one hidden in every person’s wardrobe, male or female. Blazer is a garment that is easily combined with others, which facilely fits into daily and nightly outfits, which corresponds with almost all styles, from business to sport, which represents “the uniform” and is key to elegance. I used to believe that the beginning of blazers is rooted in offices, but in actuality it’s far from the truth. For example, blazers originated from nautical jackets and the name itself comes from the frigate HMS Blazer, whose scruffy crew, during the visit of queen Victoria, wore a short, double-breasted navy blue jackets. The ruler was impressed, especially with a string of shiny brass buttons and with the cut, and blazers quickly became a inevitable part of maritime toggery. Also, in the second half of 18th century, rowers at Oxford and Cambridge were wearing thick flannel cutaways whose semblance we now recognize in classical blazers. Their design was primarily based on functionality as they were protective in regard to the coldness, and were decorated with wide stripes or patches with bright colors so that viewers at any time knew which team was in the lead. Beside the races, rowers started to dress them as status symbols and for free activities around campuses. Blazers gained exceptional popularity in the United States to, where students of prestigious universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Cornell with this apparel stated their affiliation to the elite. Soon they vastly expanded and, overcoming the limits of sports prospect, advanced into favorite attire for work and leisure. In the 60’s and 70’s of 20th century they turned in indisputable pieces of clothes for both men and women, while in the 80’s an important role was played by so called “power suit” blazers with shoulder pads. Nowadays they are generally considered to be a vital component of the British look, specifically in black and blue, which can instill a note of elegance even in ordinary, simple outfit with jeans. Focal point of my present outfit is precisely the dappled Massimo Dutti blazer. I’m a big fan of this type of clothes, my own collection is endowed with a few in different colors and cuts and I remember them often, particularly when I’m in doubt what to wear. I liked this one because at first glance it gives the impression of a usual business suit but, when closely observed, there is a frill that makes it more feminine and intriguing and which alleviate the seemingly strict cut. Therefore it can be, without any trouble, stylized for everyday obligations, coffee with friends or evening outings and socializing. In this daytime appearance I decided to combine it with Zara’s shirt, ankle boots and Stradivarius’ jeans. Since Oslo is still pretty crisp, I mantled it with Mango’s coat and introduce a whiff of color in the prevailing black and white tones with a burgundy Michael Kors Mercer purse. The handbag attracted me with an interesting pattern and elegant shape, but mostly with it’s crucial factor – the color. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, I adore this beautiful shade, either on clothes or on fashion accessories. Do you love to wear blazers? How do you combine them? Till the next post, best wishes!

SAKO - KLJUČ ELEGANCIJE Sako. Pretpostavljam da se u ormaru svake osobe, muškog ili ženskog spola, skriva barem jedan. Sako je komad odjeće koji se vrlo lako kombinira s drugima, koji se bez problema uklapa u dnevne i noćne outfite, koji pristaje uz sve stilove, od poslovnog do sportskog, koji predstavlja “uniformu” i ključ je elegancije. Prije sam vjerovala kako je početak njihove povijesti usko vezan uz urede, ali u zbilji je to daleko od istine. Prvi sakoi porijeklo vuku od nautičkih jakni, a sam naziv dolazi od broda HMS Blazer čija je pomalo odrpana posada, za vrijeme posjeta kraljice Victorije, odjenula kratke mornarsko plave žakete s dvostrukim kopčanjem. Vladarica je ostala impresionirana, osobito nizom sjajne mjedene dugmadi i krojem, a “blazeri” su ubrzo postali neizbježan dio standardne odore. Također, u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća, veslači na sveučilištima Oxford i Cambridge nosili su jakne izrezane iz debelog flanela, čiji bismo kroj u današnje vrijeme prepoznali u klasičnim sakoima. Dizajn im se prvenstveno zasnivao na funkcionalnosti jer su štitili od hladnoće, a ujedno su bili ukrašeni širokim prugama ili zakrpama, kako bi gledatelji u svakom trenutku znali koja je momčad u prednosti. Osim na natjecanjima, veslači su ih, kao statusne simbole, počeli nositi i za slobodne aktivnosti po kampusu. Iznimnu popularnost stekli su i u SAD-u, gdje su studenti prestižnih sveučilišta kao što su Harvard, Princeton, Yale i Cornell sakoima iskazivali svoju pripadnost eliti. Uskoro su se toliko proširili i, probijajući granice sportskog izgleda, nastupili kao omiljena odjeća za posao i slobodno vrijeme. 60-ih i 70-ih godina 20. stoljeća prometnuli su se neizostavne komade i kod muškaraca i kod žena, a 80-ih su na glasu bili tzv. “power suit” sakoi s podstavljenim ramenima. Danas se općenito smatraju vitalnom komponentom britanskog izgleda, specifično u crnoj i plavoj nijansi koja i običnom outfitu s trapericama pridaje notu elegancije. U žarištu mog današnjeg outfita upravo je prošarani Massimo Dutti sako. Inače sam velika ljubiteljica sakoa i uvijek ih se sjetim kada ne znam što bih odjenula, a moju vlastitu kolekciju krasi nekoliko njih u različitim bojama i krojevima. Ovaj mi se svidio jer na prvi pogled odaje dojam klasičnog poslovnog sakoa, ali, kada se pobliže promotri, uočava se volan koji ga čini zanimljivim i ženstvenim i koji ublažava taj naizgled strogi kroj. Stoga se bez imalo muke može stilizirati za svakodnevne obveze, kave s prijateljima ili večernje izlaske i druženja. U ovome dnevnom izdanju odlučila sam ga kombinirati sa Zara majicom, gležnjačama i Stradivarius trapericama. S obzirom da u Oslu još nije dovoljno toplo, preko njega sam prebacila Mango kaput, a u prevladavajuće crno-bijele tonove malo sam boje unijela pomoću Michael Kors Mercer torbice u burgundy nijansi. Ona me privukla interesantnim uzorkom i elegantnim oblikom, ali i bojom koja je jedan od presudnih faktora. Kako sam već napomenula u ranijim postovima, obožavam tu nijansu, bilo na garderobi, bilo na modnim dodacima. Volite li vi nositi sakoe? Na koji ih način kombinirate? Veliki pozdrav do sljedećeg posta! Lokacija: Oslo, Norway Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)
