What is bum-style?

All over the world, a new unofficial trend in the fashion world is becoming more and more popular - homeless style, which challenged the glamor that everyone loved. Outwardly, this style is represented by a large number of rags pulled over a person and making him most of all like a vagabond or a homeless person. Someone thinks this is insanity, and someone - a real revolution in style.

Various brands have long been trying to bring the world of vagabonds and homeless people to fashion, and flea markets give fantasy to eminent designers for their rather daring ideas.

The "vagabond style" became widely known after the sensational story of an ordinary homeless person from China. One photographer just took a few photos of a homeless Chinese man and put them on public display on social media. Chen Guo Rong was the name of this Chinese bum, who today is considered by many to be a modern fashion star. It was he who surprised everyone with his "stylish" looks, brutal self-confidence and truly podiumny gait. Therefore, a new and current trend in fashion began to be called "homeless style".

To really look like a stylish tramp, you have to adhere to certain rules.

1. The clothes used should be as loose and comfortable as possible, without gender. It is better to opt for oversized things: baggy pants and badly torn jeans, outrageously stretched hoodies and huge sweaters, shirts and T-shirts that are 2-3 sizes larger than necessary.As footwear - all-season boots with huge soles or torn sandals and flip-flops. Instead of a small bag - a string bag or a massive bag in a cage.
2. Using the principle of layering, while both the top and bottom of such a suit can be made multi-layered. Do not forget that in this ensemble all layers should be ideally combined with each other.
3. It goes without saying that such clothes should look worn or old. At the same time, any shabby item from such an ensemble can actually cost a lot more than items of clothing made of glittery glamor.

Ideally, a fashionista who wants to express himself in a bum-style should look like a lady from the royal house who decided to dress up as a beggar.

Bum-style is quite demanding about the appearance of its owner. A person should have healthy, fresh skin, a good figure, clean hair, snow-white well-groomed teeth, so that when using certain details of clothing, he does not slip down to the level of a vulgar vagabond. Garments should be, indeed, of high quality, completely new, in certain cases - branded.

A bum-style bow helps to become more liberated - a person no longer depends on stereotypes imposed by society, its gravitation towards brands. That is why all clothes must be very comfortable. Hairpins are not used, jewelry is not worn, tight skirts are not suitable for bum-style. The final look encourages the presence of baggy, stretched, loose items. Brutal elements are needed: large jewelry, boots with worn-out soles, frayed leather jackets, ripped jeans, torn tights and so on.

One expensive item must be present on the outfit - for example, branded belt, enchanting embroidery or bomber scarf... They will attract increased attention to their owner and become the accent of the costume. Such a thing should be recognizable, and therefore branded.

The main thing, when choosing clothes in this style, do not overdo it with color and texture - you can use different colors without restrictions, but without fanaticism. In the colors of the full ensemble, it is better to choose one thing: monochrome or combined pastel shades. It is worth completely abandoning the white tone - a homeless person cannot have snow-white clothes a priori.

All things - both for women and men - should be torn and stretched as much as possible. On supposedly washed sweaters "from someone else's shoulder" and other items, flaps, patches, curved lines, uneven edges and the same famous careless layering should prevail.

Unlaced massive boots with tractor soles are welcome here as footwear. Even the appearance of new copies should testify to the years of selfless service. You can easily use dirty-looking sneakers, sneakers, half-torn ballet flats, or, in general, flip-flops.

A huge bag or a spacious backpack is an invariable accessory for any modern homeless person and lover of homeless style. If you remember the checkered oilcloth trunks in which the shuttles carried their goods, and the homeless collected empty bottles, then you can also safely buy such a bag and flaunt it along the streets. Moreover, similar copies, only under a well-known brand, are produced today and are sold out by fashionistas with a bang.

Homeless style is the direction in which there is a minimum of decor. You can afford at most only one single decoration.

You can spy on the images in a bum-style at many famous stars.

For example, Helena Bonham Carter in real life he prefers flowery midi skirts in combination with coarse men's sneakers, a worn top and unkempt hair.

Keira Knightley likes to wear shapeless things that are stretched over each other. Rihanna - in everyday life, the singer puts on stretched, frayed sweatpants, slippers, a dirty sweater that is not in size and goes out into the street.

Rapper Kanye West known for his horribly leaky sweaters with sloppy fringes, and Johnny Depp prefers layering and as sloppy-looking things as possible.

Many of your favorite actors can often be seen in oversized hoodies and seemingly dirty shoes. In Russian show business, there are also fans of this style - for example, Dmitry Nagiyev, who can easily walk down the street in “dirty” branded jeans.

The famous designer became an ardent lover of "wandering style" John Galliano... You can also see creative options for yourself in the collections of Gucci, Loewe, Prada - it is at their fashion shows that "rags" appear from time to time at a ridiculous cost.
