All about parties in the style of "Hipsters"

Knowing everything about parties in the style of "Hipsters" is important not only for professional event organizers. Thoroughly scripting a themed birthday is not easy - you have to consider how to dress for an anniversary or other holiday in a retro style. A separate topic is contests for adults and children, which must be selected with taste.

There is no point in going into lengthy discussions about whether these people were positive or negative. But, anyway, Hipster style party idea can be a great choice for any person who wants to organize a chic party. To conduct it, by the way, it is not necessary to occupy even some kind of room. It fully corresponds to the authentic spirit, by the way, the holding of a thematic retro-celebration in the open air - it was more convenient to hide and disguise there. Other suitable solutions might include:

• an ordinary restaurant hall;
• imitation of a chic old apartment;
• "Underground entertainment club" (abandoned house, vacant lot or construction site).

Both an adult's birthday, anniversary, and a holiday for children can only be successfully held in a bright, chic environment. It is this that fully meets the spirit of this style. Flashy shades and rich, avant-garde colors (which are unacceptable in other styles) are welcome. You can actively use bright curtains and curtains. The walls are lined with colored garlands and old gramophone records.

If there are no ready-made records, you can always make them out of paper. The center of the "plate" should be painted in bright colors. Such decorative elements are hung along a chain on a satin ribbon.Photos of those true dudes can be an excellent choice, even caricatures on them can be skillfully beaten. An important addition are photographs of famous musicians and other creative figures, athletes, covers of popular albums.

The logical conclusion to this approach is the use of old turntables, radio or cassette recorders. By the way, they can also be used for their intended purpose. A photo zone must be provided in the room. It is best to do it near a large canvas.

It is recommended to remove from the apartment everything that contradicts the concept of the 1950-60s... Anything that cannot be removed is masked with draperies. It is advisable to hang balloons painted with polka dots in different places. Garlands with large bulbs are ideal for creating the right atmosphere. If there are flower pots in the room (or it is planned to put them additionally), then gerberas are best used from plants.

Important: the more space is left in the room, the better - it will be easier to dance this way. You will have to sit at the party quite a bit, the window sill is quite enough. If there is a turntable, then it should take center stage in the room. It is not difficult to acquire such a device - it is sold at an affordable price in many places. It is not even necessary to choose a workable copy - the most important thing is to create a good environment.

Dishes at a stylish party are most often made of bright glass or decorated with extraordinary elements, drawings. If a bright, colorful service is also used, then this will be an additional plus. At children's parties, glasses and glasses can be framed with "dresses" or "ties". Instead of regular napkins, it is recommended to use satin fabrics. In general, the more bright and shiny elements there are, the higher the degree of conformity to the basic concept.

Given the craving of real dudes for everything light and musical, it is worth thinking about invitations in the form of gramophone records. When composing the text, slang expressions must be used. It is very good if, instead of the names of the guests, specially invented "nicknames" or nicknames that have been established in the usual circle are mentioned. If the idea of ​​a record does not suit you, you can choose the shape of a skirt or tie for the invitation card.

Flyers are easy to print on your home printer. They should be simple and bright at the same time. The main background is crimson or moderately pinkish in color. The text is most often made from multi-colored letters. If the scale of the entire composition resembles confetti, this is almost ideal.

Invitations can be made in the form of an original dress. The silhouette is made of bright colored cardboard. The waist is decorated with satin ribbons in contrasting colors. The reverse side is covered with text indicating the time of the holiday.

Since it is not so easy to create an image of a dandy, you will have to send an invitation in advance - a few weeks before the holiday. In addition to the main decoration of the room and the choice of clothing, do not forget about accessories. Like everything else, they need to be catchy and flamboyant. Plastic jewelry is widespread; if you use it, then immediately in large quantities. Authentic "entertaining" gloves were used to form a great style, not for insulation, and therefore they may well be made of thin fabric.

The hats were used in a similar way. In addition, you cannot imagine a real dandy without:

• scarves;
• scarves (both should be in contrasting colors);
• belts and ribbons wound around the waist;
• women's bags (they are usually matched to the tone of the dress).

In order for a girl or woman to dress in accordance with the spirit of style, it is recommended to use a bright dress that reaches at least to the knees, with a slightly high waist. The belt is framed by a wide ribbon, complemented by a bow. If they wear a skirt, then either a fluffy one, or a very bold execution, tight-fitting and boldly revealing the knees. At a young age, you can wear classic trousers or tracksuits.

The dandy men wore predominantly brightly colored shirts. Among them could be either one-color or decorated with an elegant pattern. Plaid double-breasted jackets are recommended. A very good addition to the suit are the “pipe” trousers. Ideally, they get off in a plaid.

Pants color does not necessarily match the rest of the suit. They try to choose bright socks that are visually combined with a shirt and / or tie. The tie itself is long and very thin, tied with a small knot; this garment has its own special name - herring tie. Suspenders should be combined with other accessories.

Women's stylish hairstyles require reliable fixation. Neat styling and smooth contours are also appropriate for them. Babette or high flight is encouraged. The standard can also be the hairstyle of Marilyn Monroe or Victory Rolls.... It makes sense for men to focus on the hairstyle "kok", the brightest prototype of which is Elvis Presley.

Important: do not expect that you can get by with just a neat parting or a non-standard pigtail... Real dudes would never recognize the bearers of such a hairstyle as their people. The use of dynamic curls and complex curls is recommended. Girls' bangs may well have curls or neat looking rollers. For your information: women and girls can also imitate Elvis Presley's hairstyle - this is quite authentic.

It was the make-up that the dudes paid much attention to. Girls are encouraged to use bright varieties of lipstick and extended arrows. They are made around the circumference of the eyes, in black. Sometimes they use bright shadows, for example, carrot color. The eyes should look expressive and be wide open, have an emphatically "innocent" look.

Characteristic features of makeup in general will be ease and emancipation. It is very important to demonstrate light coquetry, to form a pleasant shade on the face, first of all. The tone is leveled with foundation. To make the skin look flawless, powder is applied to it. You can use correctors, but only so that they look completely invisible.

The convex areas of the cheeks are covered with a good, discreet, but pleasant-looking blush. You can even refuse them altogether - this is fully consistent with the canon. The eyebrows are shaped into a thin, graceful line. In the presence of long hair, the emphasis in the design of the face is made not on the eyes, but on the lips. With a short hairstyle, the choice of makeup options is almost unlimited.

In contrast to the same cowboys and many other people, the menu for the stylish men at the holiday was of a secondary nature. Most often they are limited to pizza, hot dogs, snacks, 1-2 types of pies and hamburgers. To be sure, only a few imitators of the idealized image of the United States could actually afford such a diet. But today nothing stands in the way of realizing such an ideal.

Miniature sandwiches with ham, cucumber, caviar or herring are just that. We must not forget about desserts. They are designed to become not only a delicacy, but also a chic table decoration.Therefore, caramel and colored glaze are actively used. For birthdays and other special occasions, it is recommended to order cakes with stylish symbolism (gramophone record, saxophone, and so on - for which there is enough imagination).

You can create the surroundings of a bygone era using jars with old-fashioned labels. The design of sprat in tomato, squash caviar, condensed milk has hardly changed over the past decades. Parties in the spirit of dandies are also unthinkable without punch, without brightly colored cocktails. It is recommended to use homemade labels with appropriate content. Ordinary dudes drank Georgian wines, but tried to use whiskey as well - they could well be imitated in this.

It is necessary to set the table in the American style. The filling of dishes can be left in a more familiar Russian style. Dish supports can be made of X-ray film. It will also allow you to designate personal seats.

The huge role of music in such a party cannot be disputed. It makes perfect sense to combine contemporary compositions and songs from the 1950s. Best suited genres include rock and roll, jive, boogie-woogie and twist. It is advisable to invite an experienced choreographer who will teach all the party participants the necessary skills. You can simplify the selection of compositions by focusing on cult melodies and songs from popular foreign films of that era.

The most important and relevant performers:

• Glenn Miller;
• Chuck Berry;
• Elvis Presley;
• DDT;
• Eddie Rosner;
• Duke Ellington;
• "Cinema";
• "Bravo";
• "Zoo";
• Zhanna Aguzarova.

A party in a stylish spirit cannot be properly conducted without original contests and games. All parts should be clearly written in an unambiguous, well-thought-out scenario. If a specific presenter or presenter is selected, it is better if the main rules of conduct are clearly articulated from the very beginning. After that, badges are usually handed over with invented names or nicknames - this will eliminate many mistakes and misunderstandings. Among the contests there must be a competition for knowledge of the realities of the style, as well as a "walk along Broadway" (in both cases, a jury acts, which distributes the final places among the contestants).

And also sometimes they choose:

• competition for artistry;
• a quiz on the knowledge of the inclinations and personal traits of the party participants;
• competition "Who is the most advanced dudes at this evening";
• competition "Who Dances Best".
