Romantic dressing style and basic garments to put together your look

Today we invite you to learn a little more about the romantic style, a very feminine way of dressing, characterized by its pastel colors and subtlety.

 

In this post, we will tell you all about how to wear it and where it comes from.

 

Origin of the romantic style

 

The romantic style is one of the oldest. Its origin dates back to ancient Greece. The style became popular in the 19th century when fashion began to focus on high-waisted pieces. Making silhouettes look elegant. The inclusion of lace on garments, embroidery, ornaments, ruffles, and puffed sleeves are all characteristic elements of this style.

 

Later, in the 1970s, this style became much stronger when the designer Laura Ashley launched her floral print designs, bows, and puffed sleeves, which are still in force to date. The romantic style keeps on being at the top of the trends every year, with a few twitches. However, it always maintains its essence and its basic characteristics, which we will get to know below.

 

Characteristics of the romantic style

 

It could be said that it is a typical style of the spring/summer season. However, we can wear it throughout the year if we combine it with the right clothes. And this way achieves beautiful and super chic looks in autumn and winter.

 

To identify which garments are part of this style, we will leave you with the characteristics so that you can learn a little more:

 

Fabrics

 

It is common to find garments in fabrics such as cotton, linen, and soft fabrics. Similar to chiffon, and transparencies, among other light ones.

 

Cuts

 

About the cuts of the garments,  the usual are loose garments with drapes and ruffles. All to create movement in the silhouette.

 

 

Details

 

Here, the options are wide. Embroidery, lace, and applications such as pearls, flower-printed fabrics, and attached flowers that give the garments a beautiful and delicate touch are typical of the style.

 

 

Colors

 

White is the king of this style and also pairs well with other colors. Nudes and pastel tones are also welcome and very characteristic here.

 

Shoes

 

We are not going to be limited in the shoes. However, if you want to follow the trend from head to toe, the preppy models are typical of this style. And if you wear them with a bow or flower details, it will be much more successful. Also, those made of suede fabric or shiny patent leather will be perfect.

 

Wallets

 

Just like with shoes, you can go for one of the materials mentioned above. However, a bag in earth tones that combines with several garments will be perfect. Also, remember to give space to pastel tones, appliqués with rivets, and chain straps, among others.

 

Make-up

 

This style’s makeup is soft, carried with delicacy, in neutral or pastel tones, and looks natural.

 

Accessories

 

Flower headbands, pearls, golden rings, tiny flowers attached to the lobe, golden pearls, and hair clips with these same characteristics will complete the look altogether.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clothes you must have to achieve a romantic style look

 

Blouse

 

The blouse is one of the basic garments in every wardrobe due to its versatility.

 

However, we can buy a model with ruffles, collars with bows, lace details, and pearl buttons to adapt to the romantic style.

 

And you can combine them with jeans and skirts and elevate your look with a leather piece.

 

Still, it would be only half of the romantic style.

 

The romantic dress

 

The dress is par excellence a piece of this style because what is more romantic than a dress? And we can find it in its maxi version, wide, with flowing fabrics or short.

 

Flower prints, pastel tones, bows, and lace edges you can combine with white tennis shoes are a safe bet.

 

Denim jackets, sandals with running soles, espadrilles, matching handbags, and maybe a hat can also be included in this combination

 

Midi Skirt

 

Another typical garment is the midi skirt, which can be found in A cut or perhaps a little more fitted to the body, in different fabrics and colors to combine with what we like the most.

 

If it is denim, the possibilities are endless.

 

Wear them with mid-heeled shoes or even tennis shoes for a more sporty-chic and comfortable look.
