Travelers' vestments - this is how you can describe the style of safari in clothes. Muted tones, the play of strict lines with layering, an unusual combination of the length of the elements of the wardrobe - such a combination can only allow a lady with a wonderful sense of style.
Style Basics
A safari in clothes is a challenge to the sense of style of its owner. To play with forms and accessories like this, you should know the rules adopted for this direction by the great Yves Saint Laurent. And they are based on style, fabrics and color palette.
A distinctive feature of the safari is the style of its elements. In fact, it is based on laconic silhouettes, “diluted” with numerous decorative pockets, rough zippers - zippers, characteristic of army buttons. The fair sex is allowed to combine fitted, almost office jackets with three-quarter sleeves and cropped shorts, skinny trousers and airy tops.
Fabrics in this style should be used exclusively natural: cotton, linen, wool. For accessories and inserts use leather, nubuck and suede. Even jewelry must be made of natural components: wood, metals and only natural stones.
However, the most striking feature of this style is still its color palette. The style of the safari in clothes evokes thoughts of a dusty desert plain: sand, brown, beige, muted green. And, of course, animalistic prints reminiscent of a predator hiding behind the nearest bushes.
High-key accents
Safari-style clothing is unthinkable without accessories. And, first of all, these are shoes. It can be on a high steady heel, wedges or flat soles. It can be sandals, shoes or boots, but all of them must be sewn from genuine leather or nubuck.
Another distinctive accessory is a leather belt. It can be narrow or wide, but always decorated with a metal buckle.
The headgear can be an army cap, an animal print headscarf or an Indiana Jones-style hat.
But the jewelry is subject exclusively to the general image. So, if the outfit is designed in strict lines, then the jewelry must be massive. However, if other bright accents are used, then bracelets or chains seem to be "lost", like a predator that senses a hunter.
Winning image
Safari clothing style is very difficult to maintain, especially when it comes to such a feminine wardrobe item as a dress. To assemble a kit in this direction, you should choose a straight-cut dress that resembles an elongated army shirt in style. You can complement it with leather wicker sandals on a flat stroke, medium-wide belt with a metal fastener, hat, glasses and bag in the style of the 70s.
Lovers of shorts and trousers will like sets that combine sandals and muted green tones with flat sandals, tiger colors with a chiffon scarf, a backpack and ethnic African bracelets.
Remaining in the trend, the 2012-2013 safari style gives room for imagination.
