The multifaceted and extraordinary ethnic trend of fashion consists of a great variety of style solutions associated with certain nationalities. Greece was no exception - the country of the Olympic gods and ancient mythology. Ancient motives continue to excite designers and delight fans of fashion. What characterizes the Greek style of clothing and how to create a fashionable look? Let's figure it out together.

The ancient Greeks admired the beauty of the physical body. They not only sang him, but elevated him to the level of a cult. Hence the desire of Greek clothing to emphasize the silhouette of a human figure in any way.

Ancient architecture served as the standard of classical lines for the ancient Hellenes. The clothes did not differ in brightness of colors and extravagance of styles. White dresses peplosa and chitons repeated the outlines of the majestic temples. Soft draperies and multiple vertical folds on the fabric visually lengthened the silhouette and slimmed the figure.

Ancient women in their youth wore fitted clothing. Only after marriage did they switch to models in which the belt line was located high under the bust, and the skirt fell in exciting folds. Such dresses subtly emphasized the flowing lines of the silhouette, skillfully masking the individual costs of the figure in the form of voluminous hips or a rounded belly.

Another characteristic feature of antique dresses was pronounced asymmetry. The shift in emphasis in individual objects or the entire image as a whole contributed to the creation of non-trivial compositions.

Modern designers do not strive to blindly imitate ancient forms. They only use them as a basic base, decorating with numerous details and various shades. Greek dresses and tunics often have long sleeves, deep curly necklines, and bare shoulders.

Clothes are sewn not only from traditional silk and linen, but also satin, chintz, chiffon, muslin and other magnificent fabrics are widely used. Evening dresses are richly decorated with numerous stones, rhinestones, beads.

Characteristic features of the style in a suit for women:

  • The high waistline draws attention to the chest and visually increases its size.
  • The fabrics flowing freely along the body set off the simple lines of the silhouette and hide the flaws of the physique.
  • The length of the products is preferable to midi or maxi.
  • A large number of draperies, tucks, pleated folds skillfully create graceful lines that gently flow around the female body.
  • An asymmetrical armhole or an uneven hemline is a striking element of a suit.
  • The colorful palette is formed mainly of pastel shades of blue, yellow, pink, white.
  • Gold jewelry or high-quality shining jewelry are offered as accessories.

Who is Greek outfit best for?

The possibilities of the antique cut allow you to skillfully mask flaws, which contribute to the creation of almost ideal female figures. For this reason, stylish clothes are often used by many categories of people:

  • Pregnant women. Lightweight fabrics of natural origin, high-waisted cut create complete comfort for expectant mothers and babies. The soft folds of the dress skillfully hide the delicate position of women.

  • Subtle ladies. The lack of volume and the violation of body proportions are reliably hidden under the pleated folds of the dress.
  • Donkey women. Greek style in clothes for overweight - this is an ideal cut that does not focus on the extra centimeters at the waist and hips.

  • Sundress. A great alternative to a casual dress. The summer version is sewn from light airy fabrics. Several thin straps are allowed on each shoulder. They can also be completely absent on one side of the outfit. The winter type of sundress is great for creating a business office set. For such a case, smooth dark-colored fabrics or patterns in the form of a classic cage, a thin strip, a herringbone are good.

  • Tunic. Convenient model clothing that does not have a seasonal reference. Thin summer tunic goes well with trousers and shorts. The winter version is worn with leggings, straight jeans, tight leggings. A thin turtleneck with a high collar looks organic under the tunic.

  • Shoes. The variety of models is characterized by gold paint and multiple leather straps. The variability of the heel height allows you to satisfy all tastes. Low-speed sandals, small wedge shoes and high-heeled boots are considered appropriate.
