Women's trousers and oriental pants

"What a horror, this is ugliness," I recently argued, in one voice with my friends. And the other day, secretly from them, I bought myself Afghani trousers .. "(Olga.)

“At first I didn’t like the Afghani pants, I saw them on others several times, I thought - what are these terrible pants, and who invented it. .. "(Natasha.)

"At the moment, these are my favorite pants." (Olesya.)

So, friends, let's figure it out together in this mysterious piece of clothing - oriental trousers, consider all their features, charms and shortcomings.

Let's start with the fact that all oriental trousers are divided into several basic types (so as not to be confused!): aladins, zouaves and afghanis. Each of them has its own history of origin.

Aladdin trousers came to us in modern fashion from the ancient east. The very name of these trousers is immediately associated with Arab legends and fairy tales, oriental national clothes, silk fabrics and exotic aromatic spices. Aladdin trousers (salwar) were worn in the east by both women and men. This comfortable, loose, flowing clothing is designed to relieve people from the unbearable heat and at the same time, covering the body, to protect it as much as possible from the scorching sun. Aladdins are slightly gathered at the waist, loose fit along the entire length and are beautifully gathered at the bottom.

Zouave trousers have a slightly different origin: they were part of the military costume of the French colonial infantry troops of the 19th century, consisting mainly of North Africans and French volunteers. Loose cut on top, these trousers were gathered under the knees and tucked into boots, and also had a large number of loops and devices for carrying weapons and military equipment. As a rule, zouave pants are shorter, and are very similar to breeches.

And finally, the Afghani pants directly came to us from the national costumes of the inhabitants of Afghanistan, Turkey, India and Nepal, who use them both as everyday clothes and for various spiritual practices: yoga and other philosophical teachings. Afghani trousers in their cut most of all resemble a skirt-trousers, with the difference that they narrow rather than widen to the bottom.

All types of oriental trousers are united by a common color, belonging to an ethnic style, a loose fit and a low groin line, the purpose of which is maximum freedom of movement and step width. All of them are made mainly of light fabrics - silk, chiffon, satin, pure cotton. In color, they are most often monochromatic, or with bright, colorful, intricate prints. Modern fashion designers sew Afghani trousers even from denim, although in my opinion, this option is the most unfortunate solution, since denim is too dense, it does not fall, does not flow, does not play up the figure (after all, wide oriental trousers look most beautiful in motion ). That is why, such trousers made of dense fabrics often look at least ridiculous and ugly on girls.

I noticed that modern oriental trousers receive the greatest censure from the male part of the population. These are statements in the spirit of: "ugliness", "and as soon as you can wear this", "they hide all the charms of an attractive female figure," etc. Nevertheless, ethno-trousers that came from the East to all collections of modern, fashionable designers, for several years now they have firmly taken their place in the women's wardrobe, and enjoy the attention and well-deserved love of women around the world. The main beauty of these trousers is that they are both a beautiful and comfortable piece of clothing if you choose them correctly for yourself.In them, you can safely go to a fashionable club, to nature, to a party, to gymnastics or yoga classes, or just take a walk around the city. Of course, you should not wear such trousers to work and other official institutions. In addition, the same trousers have recently appeared .. for men! In general, as they say, relax your health.

How to choose - Women's pants, Oriental pants

Oriental trousers, as mentioned above, come in a wide variety of styles, and it depends only on you which one will look the most beneficial on your figure.
