Alright, let’s gab about this fashion new wave thing, or whatever them fancy folks call it. I ain’t no expert, mind you, just a plain ol’ woman who’s seen a thing or two.
Now, this here “new wave,” they say it’s all about them movies from France way back when. Frenchie movies, yeah. Heard tell of some gal, Anna Karina, always struttin’ around in them pictures. Guess she was a big deal.
- Movies, movies, movies. That’s where it all started, they say.
- Clothes, gotta have the right clothes, if you wanna be all “new wavey.”
- Headbands? Who knew? But them French gals, they made ’em look fancy.
So, what’s the big fuss about the clothes, huh? Well, from what I gather, it’s all about lookin’ cool without tryin’ too hard. Like you just threw somethin’ on and bam! You’re stylish. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Outerwear, that’s a big thing. Coats, jackets, you name it. But not just any ol’ coat. Gotta be somethin’ with a bit of pizzazz. A bit of… what’s that word… flair! Yeah, flair. Like, a trench coat, maybe? Or a leather jacket? Somethin’ that says, “I’m cool, but I ain’t showin’ off.” You get me?
And them headbands… Lord have mercy! I used to wear headbands to keep the sweat outta my eyes when I was workin’ in the fields. But these new wave gals, they wore ’em like… like a crown or somethin’. Big, wide headbands, right across the forehead. Made ’em look all mysterious and… what’s the word… chic? Yeah, chic. Fancy, I guess.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ I understand it all. This new wave fashion, it’s kinda strange to me. But I reckon it’s all about bein’ yourself, but with a little somethin’ extra. A little bit of cool, a little bit of sass, and a whole lotta attitude. And don’t forget them dark sunglasses too, big as saucers some of ‘em are, hides half your face they do, good for keepin’ the sun outta your eyes and for lookin’ mysterious like them movie stars.
And the colors, oh the colors! Lots of black and white, like them old movies. But then, bam! A splash of red, or blue, or yellow. Keeps things interestin’, I suppose. And stripes! Lots and lots of stripes. Shirts, dresses, even pants! Stripes everywhere. Makes me dizzy just thinkin’ about it.
But the main thing, I reckon, is keepin’ it simple. Don’t go overboard with the jewelry or the makeup. Just a little bit of this, a little bit of that. And don’t forget the shoes! Simple flats, or maybe some little boots. Nothin’ too fancy, you know? Comfortable shoes, that’s what I say, ‘cause if your feet hurt, you ain’t gonna look cool, no matter what you’re wearin’.
And the hair, gotta have the right hair. Short and sassy, that’s what I’ve seen. Or maybe long and flowy, like them movie stars. But always kinda messy, you know? Like you just rolled outta bed and you still look amazing. How they do that, I’ll never know. Must be magic, or maybe a whole lotta hairspray.
So, there you have it. My take on this fashion new wave. It’s all about bein’ cool, comfortable, and a little bit different. And it all started with them Frenchie movies. Who woulda thunk it? Movies about clothes, that’s a new one on me. But hey, I’m old, I don’t know nothin’ no more, just like to keep up, so those youngins don’t think I’m completely losing it, you know? It’s all a bit much for an old gal like me, but I guess it’s fun for them youngsters. Keeps ’em busy, I suppose.
And don’t you forget, comfortable is key. If you ain’t comfortable, you ain’t gonna look good. That’s what my mama always said, and she was a wise woman. So go on, find yourself some comfortable clothes, throw on a headband, and strut your stuff. You might just start a new wave all your own. And another thing, don’t go spendin’ all your money on these fancy clothes, now. There’s more important things in life than lookin’ like a movie star. Like a good meal, and a warm bed, and people who love you. That’s what really matters, in the end.
