Street Style
Wear:
Chapter 4: Countries
and base aesthetics
Okay, we already know street style wear is a mix of genres,
but what we don’t know yet is that there is one particular aesthetic that is
the most influential of all, a genre
that has a huge impact on street style wear, genre that majority thinks is the
most beautiful of all, genre that creates the base to street style wear, fluctuating from country to country.
Every country has a history of its own which is the primary
factor in creating the fashion framework
of that country, through which the country sets its beauty standards and thus
have a particular set of things that are considered beautiful there, forming a base aesthetic of that country.
Fact to remember: A base aesthetic is always gender neutral.
India and its base aesthetic i.e. Bohemian
No matter which part of the country you belong to, which idol
you worship, what socio-economic class you fall in, what celebrity you follow, what
personality you hold, you just cannot unhold of the fact that we always choose
- Jewels over minimalism,
- Prints over plain,
- Handcrafted over machine made
- Flowers over geometric patterns,
- Curly over straight hair
But why BOHEMIAN?
Cultural history:
It’s not the people, neither the events
It’s the art I’m talking about.
Indian art that can be seen via its architecture, literature, music, ancient ornaments, jewelry, outfits,
etc. We are conditioned to love all things boho since childhood, when we
saw our moms draping those beautiful sarees and for them when they saw theirs.
Stating facts here:
We all have a part of
us that is BOHO.
Accessibility:
China may be the largest manufacturer of garments but made
in India bohemian garments are to die for. Guess why Sarojini Nagar is filled
with so many Bohomian pieces? Because India manufactures Boho garments the
most.
Bohemian pieces are available everywhere in this country;
wherever we go, we will find bohemian clothes. And if you are still not
convinced think about it, we have a whole market based on this aesthetic, Janpath
market, Delhi.
Influential people:
India is the most diverse country in terms of everything and
every set of people has its own set of influencers. So how does it work if we have so much variety? So here is the answer, influencers and trends have a direct relation.
Graphically explaining,
Further explaining;
Let’s take perspex heels for instance; because perspex heels
got trending, all influencers were wearing them and because all influencers
were wearing them, they got trending.
And Bohemian
aesthetic is never not trending in India.
I hope this blog clarifies, why you have a strong inclination towards
bohemian genre.
And I really hope you like it
Thank you so so much
Love you ☺
