SCOUSE
FASHION
Liverpool has so much to offer because of its heritage but I think fashion makes us an attractive location too. Liverpool makes its own fashion, we’re not scared to try things, whereas in a lot of places you could be anywhere in the world and it would be exactly the same minimalist format. Not here in Liverpool. We like to be that bit different.
You
may have already witnessed that some local ladies (Liverpool girls) like to go
outdoors wearing rollers in their hair. Some ladies even go out
wearing their pyjamas sometimes with Ugg boots, this may be in the middle of
summer or in the depths of winter.
I
am sure you may have wondered why they do this. Well let me tell
you. In fact it’s almost a status symbol. It announces the fact that
this person is going out that night and intends to have the biggest, more
incredibly stylish hair possible. Putting the rollers in their hair
earlier in the day gives the hair bounce and helps the style last through the
night. The wearing of the pyjama’s is generally because the ladies may have
applied false tan and wearing loose clothes prevents the fake tan from ruining
their day clothes and doesn’t smudge. The boots well I believe that
may be down to comfort and safer footwear whilst outdoors.
THE
SCOUSE BROW
Liverpool
girls even started a whole new eyebrow trend...The Scouse Brow. This look was
made popular in the reality TV/documentary Desperate Scouse-wives and is when
your eyebrows are heavily filled in obviously to look very fake. It is
created with a pencil that is often far too dark for your own hair colour.
MEET
LIVERPOOL’s VERY OWN FASHIONISTA’S
One thing is for certain the Liverpool ladies know
how to look stunning and glamorous. We have three local ladies, who have
made their way into the world of fashion and have many followers across the
world. Let's meet our three lovely ladies!
Abby Clancy, TV presenter and model married to
Stoke City footballer Peter Crouch
Coleen Rooney, Model, TV presenter and married to
Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney
Alex Gerrard, Model and columnist for daily paper
married to ex Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard
Hopefully this short explanation will give you a
better understanding of Scouse fashion you may see out and about on the streets
of Liverpool.
Are there any other Liverpool fashions that you’ve
noticed? Let us know and we’ll tell you a bit about them.
why is these ladies' marital status relevant to the post? I don't understand
ReplyDeleteHi - what a great question! The three local ladies I chose as 'Fashionista's' are all married to football players who play for England. When their husbands were involved in the world cup the ladies travelled with their husbands to support them. However, the media focused of the wives of the footballers because of their amazing fashion/style. They became known as WAGs, wives and girlfriends. This caught on in the media and became such a big hype, concentrating more on what the wives would be wearing rather than the footballers preparing to play football for their country. A lot of local ladies are inspired by the fashion of these WAGs.
