[FASHION] Girls' Generation's Marine Look

Product: Marine Look

The marine look surpasses all the stereotypes one could have of the military look. Here is an encounter with the military look and marine look which satisfy women who yearn to achieve elegance and delicacy in their fashion.
1) A look which originated from navy uniforms. Also called the sailor look.
2) A look composed mainly of sailor-collared shirts, striped t-shirts, fisherman’s sweaters and pea coats, the look is popular all year round but especially more so in the summer.
3) The look is a sensation and is taking place as the norm of ‘implicit sexy look’ ever since top girl group Girls’ Generation made a comeback in the marine look with song “Tell Me Your Wish”.

A) Product Specifications
Horizontal striped t-shirt (the norm is blue lines on a white background), white blazer (brilliant with gold buttons), white pants or skirt

B) Safety Reminders
Overall, it is a look with a mannish feel to it and therefore, women with more mannish figures try out the look. But ever since Girls’ Generation wore the look, an attempt to do so by any ordinary girl may receive bad response.

C) Additional Features
* One of the easiest and most simple ways to create a stylish look on days you do not have anything to wear. The drawback is that the white blazer, white pants along with the striped t-shirt must be washed regularly.
* Can avoid drunken men at night if worn in the Girls’ Generation style because you could almost look like the police. But beware; you could also be attacked by social dissidents who do not favor authorities.

D) To avoid malfunctions:
* Give up on the hot pants if you do not have a body like Girls’ Generation’s Jessica. The marine look can also be created with slim cropped pants.
* For the proper marine look, go with boat shoes with a mannish feel or flat white sneakers rather than the high heels Girls’ Generation wears.
* A gob hat will look better than a police hat.
* You could create a cuter look with a petite scarf in a blue tone.
