History of origin
The safari style dates back to the 19th century, when European researchers began arriving en masse on the African continent in order to study the life of the indigenous population and hunt exotic animals. That is why it received such a name and is translated from Swahili as travel.

The climate unusual for Europeans has pushed travelers to revise their wardrobe for African adventures. Under the scorching sun of Africa, free and comfortable clothing made from natural breathable materials with a large number of functional pockets and belts that made it possible to take with you all the essentials became salvation from the heat.

Considerable interest in the mysterious black continent was fueled by Hemingway's stories about Africa, after reading which the inhabitants of Europe and America were in a hurry to get there and get new impressions. Having tried on new light clothes during the trip, they continued to wear fashionable styles in their native lands.

In the middle of the last century, the practicality of cotton and linen caught the attention of the famous designer and haute couture trendsetter Yves Saint Laurent, who introduced the safari style in his new collection. Since then, women of all ages and sizes have been trying on the image of urban hunters with great pleasure.

However, safari has its own distinctive features that make this style unique.
- For sewing clothes in this direction, only natural fabrics are used. For hot days, the use of flax or cotton is relevant; suede and leather items of clothing are also acceptable.

- The predominance of colors found in African deserts. The choice of colors was due to the fact that natural shades allowed to blend in with the landscape during the hunt. In addition, clothes of these shades are practical when traveling, especially when dark colors are excluded due to the sultry climate. In an urban setting, such a restrained palette will allow you to choose an outfit for any occasion, be it a date with a lover or business negotiations.

Wardrobe
In women's safari style clothing, there are several wardrobe items that women of fashion most often use when composing images for various occasions.
Dresses
The classic style of African explorers today is a tight-fitting dress with buttons or buttons with a belt at the waist. The clasp of such an outfit is located in the front and can be from the collar to the very bottom or, like a jumpsuit, only to the hip line. Usually the length of such a midi dress, but there are models with a length slightly above the knee.
Models of wrap dresses look no less attractive. For sewing a safari dress, they usually use dense fabric - linen, bamboo, cotton, as well as leather and suede - which fits perfectly on both slender and plump figure. As decorative elements, designers can use patch pockets with flaps, imitation shoulder straps, large buttons made of wood or lacing. The straight cut of this outfit will be a great find for women with curvaceous forms, since the dress visually makes the figure slimmer and does not focus on figure flaws.

Jackets
An elongated jacket with a belt is very popular among girls with a thin waist. Such a wardrobe item is cut like a shirt, has patch pockets on the chest and is often decorated with shoulder straps. With the help of such a jacket, you can visually make the shoulders narrower and the waist thinner. Jacket sleeves can be of different lengths, which allows you to wear it in cold and warm weather.

Skirts
A slim pencil skirt in the same color scheme is a great addition to a safari-style jacket. Such an image is quite suitable for going to work and will add variety to the boring dullness of working days. You can choose tight cropped trousers that will look great on tall girls.

To complete the look for such a skirt, it is also necessary to select a shirt-style jacket with various characteristic decor. For hot days, you can choose a short-sleeved shirt.

Shorts

For the rest, no less attractive elongated shorts just above the knee are suitable.

Overalls
Another bright and functional safari style item - jumpsuit - combined a loose-fitting shirt with a characteristic decor for the style and skinny trousers with ankle length. Such an outfit will be an excellent option for walking, outdoor activities and going to the cinema, but as an office option, it will not work. For a romantic date, you should also choose a more feminine look.

Shoes
Shoes for urban hunter looks are distinguished by their laconic design and brutality. Most often, models are presented on a flat sole or wedge heel, but recently you can find shoes with heels. Sandals can have a cork or wooden sole, and can also be tied with a long lacing. For a cool season, you should choose boots without a heel or models with thick heels.
