Have you ever thought about the role of clothing and a certain style in it for your child? Quite often, we see how modern mothers (not to mention fathers) underestimate this value, and especially if a boy is growing up in the family. Why is this happening in the current realities? What do we, parents, do not pay attention to in view of a certain upbringing? And what is the significance of current fashion trends for the younger generation in shaping their future well-being? Why are we perplexed by the appearance of purple-blue-red-green hair in very young girls or an extraordinary presentation of a teenager in the hippie style? And don't we make things worse by not approving and not trying to understand our child? Let's dwell only on some points …
Let's try to remember how the process of forming a taste for clothes and a sense of style took place in our own childhood (we are talking about the 80s of the XX century). Very often, our parents taught us that we do not need to stand out, wear catchy and bright clothes, attract attention with bright details such as a brooch, jewelry, bright nail polish or even the wrong length or shape of earrings, hair … then a gray, identical and boring "mass". Such imposition was observed both in the work environment and at the school desk.
Since Ukraine gained independence, the situation with regard to clothing has changed somewhat: initially there were no strict requirements for school uniforms; import of things from abroad has become relevant; began sewing things of Ukrainian production, which differ in color, texture of fabric, design from the tacitly "adopted" in the USSR.
And already at the present time on the Ukrainian streets we can observe people presenting themselves in a wide variety of styles (boho, hippie, classic, grunge, military, etc.), as well as a mixture of this set of styles. For modern youth, clothing is often a sign of self-expression, a manifestation of a certain status in society or an opportunity to “show” oneself - everyone chooses something of their own.
Now the so-called family style or "family look" has come into fashion again. This is a fashion for the same image in clothes for people of a certain group (for example, all family members, couples in love, girlfriends at a wedding, etc.). The idea of "nepotism" was relevant earlier - in the nineteenth century. and the beginning of the twentieth century. - among aristocrats and representatives of high society. Once again, this idea has gained widespread popularity among both celebrities and ordinary citizens.
So what is the role of a parent in the process of purchasing clothes for their child in our time? Of course, parents should be assigned the role of prompts, advisers: for example, their "outside view" is important; their sober assessment of the quality and practicality of this or that thing is necessary; financial opportunity to purchase it. You should not impose on your children any "generally accepted standards", long-obsolete stereotypes in fashion, as well as the desire to imitate others. It is much wiser to buy your child what, first of all, suits him, emphasizes the dignity of the figure and likes it.
In the matter of choosing clothes, as in everything else, we all have different approaches and views. And there is no one "ideal" style that would suit everyone and would be universal. Something is suitable for everyone … Recently, the younger generation has agreed on the importance of reflection in the process of choosing clothes, about finding their own unique style. After all, not only we are "met by our clothes", but we are also "read" by our appearance. And no one has yet canceled the effects of such psychological effects as the effect of the first impression and the halo effect.
Times change, views on certain issues change. So it is with the theme of style in clothes. Clothing reflects the inner state of a person, his mood, which means that it can change based on internal motives, specific weather, general well-being, personal preferences, age (or his feelings) and many other factors. In clothes, we show our character traits, personal characteristics, our abilities, and, possibly, talent. And no matter what style of clothing you or your child choose (or even its absence at all), remember that it is more important to accept your children as they are: with all their advantages and disadvantages of personality. Appreciate the fact that they have their own creative approach to the choice of clothing and style in it, their own point of view and opinion: after all, each of us is unique and inimitable. Try to understand, not criticize the child's extraordinary look and vision of his individual image in clothes, and the lifestyle in general. Do not forget that this is another person who lives his own life, and you - fill and live your own with dignity.
