As I wander through Aliexpress, I am thrown from delight to horror. There are some really cool things, very beautiful and very cheap. I would like to order, but the duration of the wait and the potential "expectation / reality" are also frightening. And there is something else: a trip in a time machine 10, 15, 20 years ago, or even further along the calendar. But people buy, praise, ask for supplements.
When I look at these clothes, I get the impression that I am wandering through the Vietnamese market in the Russian province of the late 90s and early 2000s. And what is my surprise when I see that these things have several hundred, or even thousands of purchases with fresh, enthusiastic reviews and photos, with comments on how this jacket and coat fit perfectly and how beautiful they are quality.
I found 8 outerwear items that are already hopelessly outdated, but continue to be popular with women and girls in search of new things on Aliexpress.
1. Fitted down jacket with fur and belt
My absolute favorite, available in multiple colors. Jacket in the style of "I'll wear all the best at once", in which there is warmth, enough fur, and the waist is tied with a belt, so there is an opportunity to show off a slim figure. Such jackets were in vogue, in my opinion, in the early 2000s among high school girls and students who were not smartly dressed in simple down jackets that treacherously hide their thin waist.
2. Fitted leather coat with fur collar
This leatherette coat evokes such a searing nostalgia that none of the items on this list are capable of. It seems that it came from somewhere in the 70s, and it should be accompanied by a hat in the style of "My Nadya has arrived" and a string bag, from which a bottle of kefir with a foil lid sticks out.
3. Down jackets with pattern and embroidery
These ingenious down jackets, despite the fact that they look nightmarish for many today, were in fashion only recently. Moreover, in the most ridiculous alapist performance. But that time has passed, and today embroidery and prints on down jackets are rather bad form. Bridget Jones said she was wearing a carpet suit. This lovely girl is wearing a costume, if not from a carpet, then exactly from a blanket from her grandmother's dacha.
4. Quilted down jackets with fur hood
It would seem that there is nowhere more minimalistic, but this image of a fitted down jacket with a hood, trimmed with a rich fur trim, was also in fashion 15 years ago, when it was popular due to its availability and you just. Today, the fur collar and hood on down jackets is anti-trend, and there are tons of models without it that look amazing. And all because of the original asymmetry or oversize, for example.
5. Short track fur coats
Caterpillar fur coats have already been sung by editors of fashion magazines who review anti-trends. But girls still adore them and buy them up in large quantities, especially if the fur is artificial (which means it's cheap), and the color is bright or white (and this is considered beautiful). Here the seller even decided to decorate the poisonous blue sheepskin coat with beads. More, more glamor!
6. Short glossy down jackets
Such down jackets are twins of the above-described fur coats. Fashion for the eco-conscious who deny any form of fur, but not against squeaky glossy synthetics. If you look at a jacket without a girl, you get the feeling that this is a thing from the children's department.
But nothing of the kind, because this is a women's jacket for those who have something to whom it snows, that it is heat, that it is pouring rain. You are already old enough to wear such jackets, your mother will not scold you for an open lower back, girlfriends will envy your thin waist, and men will catch fire from both.
7. Denim jackets with lush fur trim
Unlike leather, denim, in principle, is not the material that is usually decorated with fur. However, for a while, denim jackets with plush lining and faux short fur on the cuffs and collar were in vogue.
But lovers of pomp have again decided to revive the demand for puffy sleeves a la muffins, and today they are very popular among girls in a very different interpretation. There are white, black, brown, blue, and even pink fur on jeans of different colors.
8. Leather biker jackets with floral embroidery
Floral embroidery is relevant today only on dresses, but decorating a brutal leather jacket or jeans with romantic floristry has long been bad manners. But, as you can see from sales, girls love this. Probably, of all the above models, this is the least fashionable evil that can always be attributed to the fact that you cannot live without flowers.
