Critic Alexander Vasiliev explained where to buy clothes to look decent

Over the past 50 days, almost all world clothing brands have left Russia. Famous fashion houses do not want to cooperate with the aggressor country that unleashed the war in Ukraine. And that's a perfectly understandable solution. Where to buy clothes in Russia? The famous Russian fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev answered this question very interestingly. What fate awaits Russian fashionistas, read further in the article.



From Russia left the most popular brands of the mass market: H&M, Marks & Spencer, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Reserved, Stradivarius and Sinsay. Also, you can no longer please yourself with new sneakers Nike, Adidas or The North Face. And the most avid fashionistas will have to forget about things Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Balenciaga.

The list of brands that left the Russian market continues to grow. More than 200 companies have refused to cooperate with Russia. No one wants to build a business at the expense of other people’s suffering, and that’s okay. And while some Russians hope for the triumph of Russian production, others wonder where to buy clothes in Russia now.



Fashion historian Alexander Vassiliev has already spoken about this. The presenter of the program “Fashion sentence” assures: you can look stylish even without money. It is not necessary to shop in fashionable and expensive boutiques. And since they are already closed, it’s time to learn how to create budget images.

Vasiliev sends Russian women to Russia second-hand. He says that people are in vain about second hand so biased. There you can find new things with tags, and classic clothes that are always relevant. In addition, the second often come across very original things that have no analogues in the mass market.



If you don’t go to second-hand because of the smell of second-hand clothes, that’s not a problem. Recently I told you how to remove the unpleasant smell from things. Checked by me!

Where to go shopping in Russia Alexander Vasiliev reminded Russian fashionistas that You can also go on sale. This is a great solution for those who are not willing to spend a lot of money on clothes. But the stylist warns: do not buy too fashionable things. First, you need to be able to correctly combine them. Secondly, they are not commonplace for everyone.



In addition, such clothes quickly go out of fashion. Therefore, it is much better to buy a few basic classic positions. It's best to compose capsule. It is a small set of things that can be combined with each other. As a rule, one capsule includes no more than 12 things, several pairs of shoes and accessories. However, thanks to their versatility, you can create a huge number of images from them.

There are many articles on our website about style. Here’s how to dress expensively and beautifully. I also liked the collection of fashionable things of my colleague Olga Melnik.

Editorial Board Alexander Vasiliev is saddened: There is no Russian style as such. Over the past 30 years, Russian textile production has simply disappeared. Of course, there is hope that it will begin to revive. However, the fashion presenter is not sure that this will actually happen.



We remind you that you can buy something suitable from clothes in the ordinary market. The main thing is not to follow the cheapest price tag and focus on the quality of things. Ideally, you should choose products made from natural materials. In addition, shopping is still possible in online stores.



It is not yet known when the famous clothing brands will return to Russia and whether they will return at all. So do not expect a miracle and wait for you to go to your favorite store again. Summer is just around the corner, so now is the time to update your summer wardrobe. Good luck!
