The quarantine and self-isolation regimes have greatly turned the lives of ordinary people. Life has changed literally in everything. Is it any wonder that the epidemic affected the real fashion trends? A hundred years from now, historians will talk about the trends of 2020 in the same way as about the fashion spawned by the French Revolution.

Hairstyles

Many are trying to update their haircut at home. Some do it well, others' photos are adorned with entertainment sites. In addition to haircuts, women also face the question of painting. Not everyone manages to normally apply paint to overgrown roots. As a result, many have revised their ideas about beauty.

As a result, we can say that at the height of fashion - a haircut with a hedgehog (under a typewriter) or a shaved head. Either one or a friend, a woman decides to part with her hair, especially since women have less time for themselves in quarantine: they have to cook twice or three times more than before, and deal with children who cannot cope with the school program on distance learning. At the same time, no one canceled normal work and domestic work either. So … You get the style of Furiosa, Eevee Hammond and Jane the soldier! At least with regard to haircuts.

Women with voluminous hair found another way out - the once popular "cascade" haircut. On thick hair, it is done simply: the curls are collected over the forehead with a hand and everything that sticks out of the fist is cut off with scissors. The haircut looks especially good on curly hair.

Men are also addicted to ultra-short haircuts. In addition, due to the danger of bringing the virus home on the beard, many have abandoned this traditional masculine jewelry. And only the owners of lush male braids decided not to change the style very radically: you cannot spoil a braid with a length.

Makeup

Attendance has skyrocketed among video bloggers explaining how to take care of manicure and pedicure. At the same time, the smoothest nail surface has gained relevance - even without a pattern with a different varnish color. But the selection of colors and the very design of hands where they prefer to wash them rather than change gloves, have become very relevant - in light of the fact that most of the faces of women are now covered in public spaces with masks.

For the same reason, eyebrows and eye makeup acquired special importance, as memes in social networks remind, during this difficult time, so from those records of video bloggers who teach how to apply make-up, the attendance of videos dedicated to the upper part of the face skyrocketed. True, there is a requirement for makeup - it should be easy to wash off. Upon returning from the street, people now wash not only their hands, but also their face, and no one wants to either walk in what looks like leaked makeup, or fiddle around for half an hour, removing the remnants of the make-up.

clothing

Only the lazy is not joking about the new fashion - for sweatpants and T-shirts. In fact, many continue to pick clothes for their work hours so as not to lose their spirits, and order clothes. But now many give preference to relatively loose outfits - it is so easy to quickly gain a few kilograms on self-isolation, this should be foreseen if you are reluctant to buy them every two weeks and find out when the order has reached that you have outgrown it. In general, oversized and loose fit are the hits of the season.

Masks have become a special item of the toilet. At the height of fashion - reusable woven masks, which must be washed and ironed after every go out. And few people are interested in wearing monophonic ones. Animalistic and villainous faces that turn any mask into a carnival, and an epidemic into a strange adventure, are quoted much higher.

Fashion observers promise special collections of homewear and clothes for homework - the epidemic will last for a long time, and also has already shown how careless the fashion industry is about these garments.

Handmade on the crest of a wave

People have nowhere to go in the evenings, and not everyone can endlessly occupy themselves with serials. In addition, the question of saving arose - due to lower incomes, and many have a desire to use their time with benefit - for example, to learn new things. Finally, psychologists in their blogs recommend combating the anxiety caused by the news about the victims of the epidemic with the help of small manual labor. He calmed our grandparents - he will calm us too.

So Instagram was overflowing not only with photographs of fashionistas with "typewriter" hairstyles, but also with achievements in the field of hand-made. People knit, sew (most often new masks), make jewelry out of everything they find in the house, or order needlework kits online. Everything done, of course, replenishes the wardrobe of craftsmen and craftswomen and all their children and household members, including cats, dogs and parrots.

Many big events changed fashion: What is a guillotine haircut, or when long hair is no longer a trend
