What kind of clothes are inappropriate to wear in the United States, even if you have enough courage and money

It’s no secret that living abroad is different than what we’re used to. It is difficult for people from different countries to understand each other. The difference is manifested in behavior and in appearance. Today we will talk about what fashionable It's different than ours.



People without experience living in the United States build a picture of American life in their head, based only on films and TV series, popular culture in general. Well, I must admit that some moments coincide with reality. But there is also a lot of embellished, invented. The true essence of things can only be understood by living in the States.

It just happened a year ago that my best friend flew to America for permanent residence. I miss her very much, but we call on Skype often, several times a week. Tells a lot of interesting things about the locals, about their habits and oddities.

Fur American women all over the world give up natural fur. If in a large city "lit up" on the street in such clothes, you can catch not only condemning glances, but also a few harsh words in your direction. In addition, their animal defenders are so ardent that they can pour paint on a lady in a mink coat. For Americans, natural fur is the last century, almost the Middle Ages.



GettyImages I really like this trend. Indeed, in our time, the choice of clothes made of artificial fur and other high-quality materials is so great that carrying animal skins on yourself is a sign of limitation and inhumanity.

No, of course, women in the US wear heeled shoes. But not every day, but for celebrations or parties. A low heel is worn, for example, in the office. Anyway, in the first place in the American women comfort and practicality. Even under dresses and strict costumes, they wear sneakers or sneakers.

A bag of this type is an incomprehensible phenomenon for Americans. I am glad that in our open spaces, this dubious accessory is receding into the past and is becoming less common in large cities. U.S. streets walk Men with briefcases and belt bagsDo not hesitate to wear backpacks with strict suits or coats.



As in the case of heels, such things occur in the wardrobe of American women. But they don't dress like that every day, just for a party or a celebration. Every day girls in the United States choose sporty, practical, comfortable clothes. One of my favorite trends here is oversize.



GettyImages Floats A friend told how she and her husband (Belarusian) went to the beach together. Well, he put on our usual sweatpants without much thought. According to her, all the time on the beach people somehow looked in their direction. The friend and her husband never knew what was going on.

Things with men's shoes are about like women with heels. Men in America don’t wear shoes every day. Wear them only under the pants, on the occasion of a solemn event or an important business meeting. Combining shoes with jeans on a man is not a sight for the streets of American cities. Everyday shoes are like this. sneakers and sneakers again.



GettyImages Well, I can say that my other friends, who moved to America or visited there, unanimously confirm all of this. Some things are clear only to us, the people of the post-Soviet space.

However, Western trends represent modernity, comfort and ethics. I really hope that our people will be able to accept and love unusual trends. fashionablewithout losing its uniqueness.
