Basque is a specific element of women's clothing. It is a very short semblance of a loose-fitting skirt. A basque can be either a separate element or as part of a kit. The homeland of the Basques is sunny Spain. There, a skirt with magnificent waves was part of the national costume. For the first time on the catwalk, Basque clothing appeared in the twentieth century. Since then, many designers have developed entire collections of clothes with the Basques. In the modern world, the fashion for wardrobe elements with the Basque fluctuates, now gaining popularity, then slightly calming down. Nevertheless, this item of women's clothing is still quite popular. In this article, we will describe in detail how and with what to wear a peplum, and show several fashionable images.
Features of basque clothing
It is worth noting that the Basque looks very harmonious with almost any style of clothing. She is decorated with both office images and evening dresses.
At the same time, many mistakenly believe that ladies with excessive fullness of the basque only harm. This is far from the case. With the right selection of cut, style and color palette of clothes with the Basques, even full ladies, it will give harmony.
Also, one should not forget that the Basque in itself is a rather complex element of the wardrobe. Therefore, if you want to create an evening look and at the same time choose a dress with a peplum, you should abandon the excessive amount of jewelry.
So, we will form a few simple rules that will help you to wear clothes with the Basques:
- Representatives of a slender figure have no restrictions on the Basques. You are free to choose absolutely any of its style and style.
- If you have a slightly overweight figure, then the basic rule is: the bottom of the basques should not end on the most protruding part of the figure (if it’s the hips, then the bottom of the basques should end just above the hips and hide the tummy, or fall lower). At the same time, it is better to choose a peplum with a smooth style and high waist.
- You should not wear a large amount of voluminous jewelry with the Basques, so the image will seem overloaded and unnecessarily puffy.
Choose a basque depending on the type of figure
A correctly selected basque style will help emphasize all the advantages of the figure and hide some of the shortcomings.
Pear-shaped basque
Perhaps one of the most risky options for clothes with the Basques, in view of the fact that volumetric hips are the problem area of this type of figure. With the wrong selection of the Basques, they will seem even more voluminous. However, this is not a reason to abandon it at all.
Ladies with a pear-shaped figure should choose clothes with long or shortened smooth basques. The Basque itself should in no case end on the protruding part of the hips. It can be either a few centimeters higher or lower.
Apple Basque
Here the problem area is the protruding abdomen with fairly narrow hips. In this case, the basque will help to even out the proportions and hide the protruding tummy.
For ladies with an “apple” -type figure, a basque is perfect, ending at the narrowest point of the figure, but at the same time it should also cover its stomach, i.e. be long enough.
It is not recommended to use clothes with a high waist with this type of figure!
Inverted Triangle Basque
Here the situation is exactly the opposite of the situation with the “pear” figure. The weak point in this case is wide shoulders and narrow hips. Basque in this embodiment will be able to correct all these shortcomings.
Women with the “inverted triangle” figure should give preference to a magnificent basque ending at the level of the hips. A pleated peplum would be ideal.
