Glossary of fashion terms with illustrations. How to choose an original name for a clothing store? Types of outerwear
The world of fashion is fluid and fickle and has cycles of time. From time to time, clothes from the past come back into fashion, but often with a new name. This is how leggings become leggings, and hoodies become sweatshirts.
I decided to write a list of fashionable, and no longer very fashionable things, and how to call them correctly now. After all, we must somehow explain to the consultants in the store what we are looking for?
Glossary of fashion terms
Outerwear
So what is it ...
- BOMBER- a light jacket, most often without a collar, with a round collar, with cuffs on the sleeves and a belt. This cut was once worn by US Air Force pilots.
- KOSUKHA, surprisingly, remained a leather jacket. Slim fit jacket, with turn-down collar and zipper obliquely. These are very fond of bikers and rockers. Well, fashionable ladies.
- PARKA- in our opinion, either a windbreaker, often elongated, or a raincoat in casual style... They come in autumn and winter, with lining or insulation. classic khaki parka.
Bottoms
- . These are jeans, loose enough on the leg, with a low waist and low crotch... They are tailored so that it looks like you took them off your boyfriend (hence the name) and a couple of sizes smaller than them. Often worn with cuffs underneath, cropped, ripped or stained with paint. Previously, they could be called “ jeans withmotney«
- JEANS GIRLFRENDS... These are jeans that look like boyfriends. Unlike the latter, they taper towards the bottom and are quite high in fit. Although visually they look very similar. And because of this, they sit on the figure in a completely different way.
- MOM JEANS... With whom we only do not take off jeans. They look as if you took your mom's jeans to wear, and not the ones she wears now, but those that she wore in her youth. Loose fit, high waist, antique denim with boiled water. In general, if you take a boyfriend or a girlfriend, and make them fit at the waist, it will turn out mom- jeans.
- JAGGINS... Thin jeans, often with an elastic band at the top, fitting the figure like leggings. Very narrow and thin. In our opinion, "jeans-leggings".
- JEANS SLIM... They are " cigarettes" and " narrow-minded". The last name was funny story... Many years ago, when they were just coming into fashion, a consultant girl in my store approached me with the question “ The boys are looking for a ride. What is this? Where are they going to jump?". This name is more common among the male population. In fact, these are ordinary skinny jeans on the leg.
- JEANS SKINNY... Many confuse them with slim but the difference is that jeans literally fit the leg like a second skin. Name from the English word skin- leather. They are often made of softer denim with a touch of elastane. Men are often called narrow and slim and skinny, because they do not know about the difference.
- JOGGERS... In our opinion sweatpants»With a cuff at the bottom. Joggers can be not only knitted, but also denim, for example. Bring your regular fit to classic pants or jeans - you get joggers.
- PALAZZO... Hip-free, lightweight, flowy trousers. In our opinion, "skirt-trousers". Remember that in the nineties? Now we wear them again. In modern interpretation, often with high waist, tucks.
- CULOTE... Palazzo-style trousers, only cropped. Visually look like midi-skirt trousers. Loose from the hips, with a fit at the waist.
- LEGGINGS... What we have always called "leggings".
- Chinos... Everyone already knows them, and everyone is tired of it. These are trousers, most often made of natural fabrics, with slanting pockets at the top, semi-fitting, tapered at the bottom, and with typical horizontal welt pockets with a button on the back. Several seasons ago came to us from men's wardrobe... They managed to practically leave women's fashion, but they are still worn.
Top
- SWEATSHIRT... This is the good old " hoody“, In a style reminiscent of the top of a tracksuit. Now they have moved from the category of sports to the usual casual. They can be made of cotton or 100% synthetic, neoprene. Usually they make a variety of drawings, inscriptions, by type regular t-shirts... I heard one more name in relation to the sweatshirt - “ body shirt“, But I don’t know to what extent it corresponds. About ten years ago, when I was still working as a sales assistant and they asked me about body shirts, I vaguely showed them to the back of the hall, they say, look there, since I didn’t have any the slightest clue, what it is. By the way, I don’t have it now either. Shame on me.
- POLO... T-shirt with a shirt-like collar and several buttons. I think everyone knows about polo.
Neoprene, as a fabric, is now experiencing its peak of popularity.
- LOOK... You can replace the name with the word "image", referring to what you can put on yourself. Totalonion- a completely finished look, with accessories, top, bottom, etc.
- OUTFIT... Almost the same as the bow, only more specific. The outfit in which you go out.
- LOOKBOOK (lookbook)- literally, the book of bows. And in fashionable terminology - a collection different images, outfits. It could be a website, a book, or it could be a list, a photo of your own outfits.
It seems that this is all, unless, of course, touch the topic of accessories. There, especially in shoes, you can easily get lost. The post about fashion terms has already turned out more than planned.

Fashion and near fashion, like any other field of activity, speaks a language that is understandable only to insiders - where there are both professionalism and ambiguous words. This dictionary of fashion newspeak omits the sewing terms that are mandatory for the industry, but explains the phenomena, understanding which, it will be easier to understand the fashion wrong side.
Bayer is the person who oversees the purchasing of the assortment. He needs to know at least English and Italian, be fluent in brands and trends, and also understand who he works for. Buyers of Tokyo Louis vuitton, for example, redeemed more than a half joint collection with Stephen Sprouse, rightly believing that the acid print will quickly sell out. An inexperienced buyer fills out paperwork, one that is not the first year in the industry - attends important shows (each store has its own targets) and personally selects suitable models... The buyer is also responsible for the size line: Moscow Chanel, for example, brings big sizes(there are many business ladies among the clients), while in Roberto Cavalli, on the contrary, there is not a single size 46 dress. The most difficult thing is to form an assortment in multi-brands - that's why employees of Podium and Aizel are deservedly considered the best Moscow buyers.
Example: "And for whom only TsUM buyers buy Juicy Couture?"
If according to the rules, then vintage is when things are more than 50 years old, but it has retained its presentation and meets today's fashion requirements. For example, nowadays special attention is paid to the shoulder line, so a black Thierry Mugler blazer from the 80s with foam lining is considered vintage, and could not have been even 5 years ago. An exemplary vintage store is New York's Ressurection, which sells some bankrupt opera singer's Chanel 2.55 and Pierre Balmain dresses (not Christophe Decarnin for Balmain). Not everyone can afford such a purchase, but in last years A mishmash is considered a model of style - hence the endless grandfather's sweaters with deer, glasses, like Chikatilo's, and Soviet briefcases with the characters from the cartoon "Just You Wait!" - all this dusty junk and second-hand should not be found, but for some reason they are also considered "vintage".
Example: "Topshop T-shirt, Bershka bag, vintage glasses"
Key images of the collection or its leitmotif (some memorable detail) is the guideline. This is a frame, a semantic core of the show - for example, in the last summer collection Chanel's guideline was a star print, in the current Christopher Kane - chiffon circles that make jackets and dresses spine and embossed.
Example: "I think D&G stole the guideline from Chanel - both tweed and red and white stripes are very similar."
The style icon is those who go out of their way to look more fashionable than everyone else: carefully selects colors and meticulously achieves unintentional negligence or, on the contrary, tries to make their own way of dressing unique. But despite all the efforts, the style icon always looks idiotic - because she overdid it. It is not difficult to recognize a style icon - you want to parody her and make a cruel joke over her. Another sign is unbreakable self-confidence.
Example: "These pink glasses half your face make you a style icon "
The capsule collection is a separate line created within the brand, most often by a visiting designer or celebrity. As a rule (it's hard to remember the exceptions), this is a marketing focus - firstly, the release of the capsule collection gives the brand the necessary image - for example, Christopher Kane's capsule collection for H&M brings the mass market giant somewhat closer to the luxury segment. Secondly, the capsule collection is able to lure random customers to the store - due to the collaboration of Comme Des Garcons with H&M (which regularly has fun with capsule lines), people of all kinds of wealth flooded the store - even those who shop only in Selfridge's wanted to grab a little Rei Kawakubo for the Poor Finally, the capsule collection gives the brand the opportunity to be featured in magazines and blogs - for example, the PPQ brand outside of England became known only thanks to the Peaches Geldof capsule collection.
Example: "I don't buy anything at Topshop, but sometimes I go there to look at the capsule collections."
Last Season is an outdated must-have. What they were chasing for half a year, after a few months inevitably looks impossibly unfashionable - take, although fluorescent plastic is not a neck, ugg boots or Louis Vuitton shoes with a hole in a wooden platform.
Example: "Rubber boots are not only ugly, but also last season"
As a rule, this is a marketing gimmick - since Gucci bags declaring their love for New York, or Alexander McQueen mufflers, the proceeds from the sale of which will save the tree, may be about to end, you need to postpone everything and have time to buy. Limited lines of large brands are usually either socially problematic projects (at an affordable price - like Marni T-shirts with pictures of disadvantaged African schoolchildren for $ 50), or shamelessly luxurious things, fantastically overhead in production - for example, Birkin with white gold fittings ...
Example: "T-shirt, of course, nothing special, but limited edition"
A must-have is a thing, looking at which, you can choke - it is for such a fashion gloss that it does not skimp on the epithets "cult", "iconic", "correct" and "actual". The term was coined by fashion editors who assure - who has such a thing (an embroidered Balmain jacket with monstrous shoulders, Spicy Louis Vuitton sandals, Yves ankle boots Saint laurent from a leather mesh with a heel-cup for pencils) no, that sucker.
Example: "Honey, you don't understand, this is a must-have"
He may be 30 or 35 years old - but he just reached the final of the "Russian Silhouette", is sold in some showroom outside the Garden Ring, or waited for four paragraphs in the heading about new names in L "Officiel. Young designer it is not possible to become really famous in any way - by different reasons; the quality of the collections is not always the core of the problem. Some people manage to vegetate all their lives in the status of a "young designer".
Example: "I will introduce you to my friend, he is a young designer, he sells bags in LJ"
Pop-up store is a limited edition retail edition. A pop-up store is opened for a strictly limited period of time, say, a month, and this is announced in advance. In America, pop-up stores are presented almost every week - stores with a short shelf life are a powerful catalyst for consumerism. You need to open the pop-up store by special occasion to coincide with the anniversary of the magazine (for example, Comme Des Garcons donated a pop-up store to Japanese Vogue) or the release of an experimental collection (this is what the Stussy brand did).
Example: "I saw such a cool Chanel bag from the Paris-Moscou collection yesterday in the pop-up store on the Runway!"
The replica is a fake, but executed carefully and accurately, albeit from less expensive materials... Between a replica and a really expensive thing, you can not find any external differences, but the replica shoes will have a much less comfortable last, the replica dress will be made not from Italian silk, but from Korean polyester, and the replica bag will have accessories, which have been saved a lot, and somehow attached inner pockets. But those who are not spoiled by authentic Moncler jackets and Missoni cardigans may not notice the difference in quality - unless buying a replica, you should not expect lovely bonuses like a soft shoe bag, fleece bag or mini-catalog in a branded envelope.
Example: "Do you really believe she has a Prada bag? I beg you, this is a replica."
A stylist is someone who picks up clothes for a fashion shoot or helps with sets on the backstage of a show. The hard work of a stylist (if he does not have an assistant, of course) is associated with constant running around the shops and requires physical endurance and psychological stability. But more often it is used in relation to those who cannot decide on their occupation in any way - they seem to dress fashionably, and communicate with fashionable ones, but there is nowhere to put themselves.
Example: "Do you remember him, sat with us all day in Kamergerskoye, he seems to be a stylist"
A total bow is an image exactly copied from the catwalk, that is, a set made up of clothes, shoes and accessories of the same brand. Synonym bad taste, and, as psychologists say, a symptom of a complexion.
Example: “Did you see a famous stylist yesterday? She dressed up in a total look.
Regular scribbling about clothes, boasting to favorite designers, crooked collages from polish and self-made photos of recent purchases - this is a typical fashion blog. More imaginative bloggers have pictures of fashion insiders, analytical notes and releases of collections of some Opening Ceremony. When the purchase of a new Marc Jacobs bag, discussion with Miroslava Duma's girlfriends and looking at i-D ceases to please, it's time to start a fashion blog.
Example: "I have a lot of cool clothes, I need to make my own fashion blog"
When fashion editor Grace Coddington came to the Givenchy show in a green dress, everyone overlooked Ricardo Tisci's final exit - the morbid love of black among those involved in the fashion industry seems to be the same. business as usual like dawn after a dark night. At the shows, it seems, the light can be left on altogether - because of the jackets and dresses of the guests of the first row, it is so dark that at least you gouge out your eyes. Compared to other colors, black is like the Empire State Building next to the Evropeyskiy shopping center. And why - it's as difficult to explain as to refuse to buy a nine-thousandth black pencil skirt.
Example:
"Black is the new black"

Words of wisdom
How many things a person experienced before his thought took on the form of a word, and this word became so characteristic of a human companion that it lost all connection with physical nature.

Each professional area has its own terms, which can be difficult for people far from this industry to understand. The same story is observed in fashion: buyers, shoppers, couturiers and fashionists - who are all these people?
Most of the fashion terms originated in French, because, as you know, the world capital of fashion has always been and will be Paris. We have collected some interesting professional words so you can fill in the gaps in your fashion vocabulary.
Pret-a-porter – « pret-a-porte"With an emphasis on the last syllable - this term is used to refer to the so-called" ready-made garments "created by brands for mass production.

All clothes that are worn over dresses, suits, various kits consisting of trousers, skirts, blouses and other tops is called a top. Upper women's clothing differs in a huge variety, which lies in the differences in types, styles and seasonality. All outer garments are distinguished by the fact that they are of the shoulder type. We will talk in more detail about what kind of clothing is top.
Types of outerwear
Outerwear for women is not only warmth and comfort in cool weather. Thanks to the presence a large number varieties outerwear we can experiment with styles, complete fashion bows at any time of the year. The main types of women's outerwear are coats and jackets. But what about fur coats and raincoats? The fact is that a fur coat is a coat that is made of fur, therefore, this type of women's winter outerwear is not distinguished as a separate species. Raincoats are also a non-insulated and lightweight coat.
There is another classification of outerwear. It's about seasonality. Coats, raincoats, and jackets can be worn at any time of the year, but it depends on what material is used for sewing products. Outerwear can be summer, winter and demi-season.
Variety of styles of outerwear
The coat is perhaps the most common type of outerwear. In it, a woman looks elegant and attractive. The most popular coat styles are as follows:
- single-breasted (can be with hidden fasteners, lapels, one, two and three rows of buttons);
- double-breasted;
- with smell.
Now let's look at the most common types of coats by cut type. Let's start with balmakaan - a short coat made of thick wool with a short collar and hidden fastening. The next variety is a pea coat, which can be short and long. Distinctive features- patch pockets and straight floors. Lovers of a conservative style will appreciate the overcoat coat, which is made of beige wool, and the collar is usually trimmed with brown velvet.
The most popular demi-season outerwear is raincoats, of which the most common types are macs, and bolero raincoats.
The second type of outerwear includes jackets. As everyday options often women wear windbreakers, denim and leather, parkas, leather jackets, a variety of down jackets. There are also models that are jackets, but do not belong to the categories listed above. We are talking about such charismatic and sometimes rebellious models such as leather jackets, bombers, capes, kimonos, rocking jackets and military jackets.
Of course, the original purpose of any outerwear was to protect the wearer from adverse weather conditions. But later it turned into a very important attribute of women's fashion. Today jackets are numerous and are the epitome of style, elegance, functionality and practicality. Each young lady can gracefully emphasize her individuality, and sometimes boldly express herself with the help of a properly selected look and style of outerwear. But do not forget an important rule: the set must look holistic. So, if your basic wardrobe is focused on the classics, there is hardly a place for a bomber jacket. Although women tend to try on themselves different images, which means that it is not at all forbidden to have several sets of different styles. Well, let's see what types of women's outerwear are currently the most popular.
Outerwear in the spirit of the classics
A winter or demi-season coat is an indispensable attribute of the wardrobe of a sophisticated and elegant lover of classic style. Not only adjacent, but also straight, trapezoidal silhouettes are relevant. In addition, oversized coats are in great demand today. Such models look great on slender girls, they make the figure graceful and more fragile. By the way, the sheepskin coat is also often referred to as a variety of coats, which are sewn from fur and suede, respectively.
During the period of spring or autumn rains, a fashionista cannot do without a stylish one. It can be made of special waterproof fabric or leather. There are also a lot of models and styles of this outerwear.
They differ in length, sleeves and collars. But perhaps the most popular type of raincoat is the classic double-breasted one. Fold-over collar, shoulder straps, specific cuffs, a back slit and a belt - all this reminds us of our favorite theme. And nevertheless, the trench coat looks great with sheath dresses, pencil skirts and trousers of any cut.
Youth options for outerwear for women
The jacket is the outerwear that the world of sports gave us. It is incredibly comfortable and has its own model for every season. It is customary to combine jackets with a sports wardrobe. Although modern women's fashion and creative ideas famous fashion designers allow you to use several things of different style in one look. But one thing is for sure, a girl in a practical jacket always looks stylish and youthful fresh.
V winter period the most popular are down jackets and. As a rule, they are fastened with a zipper and have hoods framed with fur. The down jacket can be long or short, fitted, straight or trapezoidal silhouette. Modern ones are presented in several variations: warmed for winter and lightweight for the off-season. But they are united by many pockets, elastic bands on the sleeves and waist, specific fabric and colors in the spirit of the military.
Among jackets for spring, summer and autumn, bombers, leather jackets, are distinguished. As a rule, they are short in length and this is perhaps the only thing that unites them. Bombers look very much like sweatshirts, fastened with a zipper and have elastic bands on the sleeves and on the bottom of the product. Leather jackets, biker jackets, being a clear attribute of the grunge theme, are often richly decorated with metallic decor. Windbreakers are sewn from raincoat fabric, have a different cut of sleeves and collars, can be fastened with a zipper or buttons.
I think each of us has witnessed more than once that the absolute majority calls all wardrobe items "worn above the waist" sweaters. In our time, there are so many kinds of literate people (and, accordingly, names) of wardrobe items that it is not so easy to remember everything. And on top of that, the differences between them can be almost insignificant. In continuation of my "vocabulary of clothing", I want to devote today's topic to the following "shoulder products".
So first things first, blouse -it is a woolen item knitted clothes for the upper body, having a fastener from the front from bottom to top (it is the presence of a fastener that is its distinctive feature).
T-shirt -this is knitted clothes, worn on the body, without sleeves (even very small ones).
T-shirt - a jersey product with sleeves but no collar. May accept a lock, a row of buttons, or a hood.
Polo- a T-shirt with shirt collar and a row of buttons.
Longsleeve - T-shirt with long sleeves (top tights). May have a small row of buttons or chest pockets.
Turtleneck long-sleeved with a long collar that can be tucked up once or twice (maybe a thin sweater), there are no zippers or buttons. By the way, the turtleneck got its name because divers wore it under their suit, pulling a long collar over their heads.
Badlon -a turtleneck with a fairly short collar (you can't turn it up).
But if the pocket and the zipper (that is, the pocket will be divided into two parts and is no longer through), this is a hoodie.
Olympian - sports shoulder product with a zipper, with a collar, as a rule, side pockets (but not necessarily), made of a smooth (usually synthetic) fabric. There should be no hood!
Sweater is a knitted product with a long sleeve and a high collar. There cannot be any fasteners on the sweater.
Jacket - short outerwear (usually insulated), which has a cut from top to bottom, and closes tightly.
Sweatshirt - this is a kind of half-faith, made of dense fabric, has a round neck and elastic on the sleeves. Designed in a sporty style.
Blazer - this is the "top" of a classic suit, belongs to the genus of a jacket, has fasteners on the floors and a turn-down collar.
Jacket - this is a variant of "pzhdak", but do not confuse them. The jacket is more "loose", can be decorative elements of various lengths (usually at the waist or slightly higher). The jacket is a "classic" version, which does not accept any indentation from conservatism.
Best regards, Senhorita *
In terms of fashion and style, you need to understand in order to become a stylish girl. After all, without having an idea of at least basic concepts from the vocabulary of fashion, it is impossible to talk about stylish clothes.

How often do you come across beautiful names of clothes "cardigan", "blazer" in posts, but in reality they turn out to be a jacket, coat, vest. Why not name them correctly? After all, each item of clothing and type of clothing has its own name. After all, we will not call chamomile chrysanthemum, although they are very similar. There is a huge amount of information on the net - there is an electronic encyclopedia of fashion, a dictionary of "fashionable" terms. Do not trust the terms below (they are, of course, incomplete, I took it selectively) - look for yourself. But let's use the CORRECT terminology.
There is, of course, the proverb "Even if you call it a pot, just don't put it in the stove", but nevertheless, we always value accuracy in products made by craftswomen. So let's be careful when defining the name of the clothes.
Anorak - in the classic version: a jacket with a hood, worn over the head with a kangaroo pocket. Can be double fastened (zipper + buttons or buttons). It happens in both insulated and lightweight versions (summer).
Blazer - jacket sports type, usually fitted, made of woolen flannel or gabardine with metal buttons and an emblem on the breast pocket.
