How the evening dress has changed in contemporary fashion

Parka and Jacket bomber are the new overcoats to combine with evening dresses thus defining a new transgressive aesthetic and rock’n’roll.

Historically, ceremonies, gala evenings and official events generally require specific Dress Codes imposed by tradition and formal rules which, for men, can be the tuxedo or the fracture, while for the woman they often translate into sumptuous long dresses or at least a cocktail dresses, almost always in black which, always according to social conventions, must be accompanied by hoods, stole or sophisticated overcoats.

A dictate of demanding style and not exactly accessible to the many given the exorbitant prices of this market range.

The new face of “accessible” elegance

Fortunately, in recent decades, fashion has evolved and amplified its aesthetic language, cleansing the concept of evening dress as clothing for less formal and daily occasions, from weddings to parties and worldly evenings.

The concept of evening dress for women has become more dynamic and decidedly more usable. The new style for special occasions today translates into sparkling embroidered clothes, made of sequins or more simply of fabrics with metal reflections.

Underground culture and street contaminations

The combinations with accessories and corpoons, often provocative and unexpected that distance themselves from the historical rules to embrace a transgressive and decidedly underground aesthetic, make even more casual of this contemporary style.

Bikers boot and amphibians take the place of the décollete, baseball hats and jersey caps replace hats and veleies as well as the new overcoats are called Parka and Jacket bomber, often oversize. All clear references to underground cultures such as the grunge of the nineties, the punk or the rock scene of the seventies.

Ribelli icons and breaking fashion

Starting from the examples of some iconic characters, from Courtney Love to Kate Moss, the rebellious aesthetic has now become part of the imagination of the new generations as well as in the creative vision of many designers. Parka and bomber oversize are now distinctive signs in the Prada, Miu Miu, N ° 21 and Balenciaga collections, just to name a few.
