From time to time you can hear criticism of Russian men - they dress badly, have no taste, and in autumn, winter and spring they generally turn into a homogeneous mass in black and gray.
This criticism is well founded, because indeed, if you walk in the cold season in Russian cities, especially in the provinces, you can see Russian men mostly in black jackets, dark trousers and black shoes.
On the one hand, this is justified by the harsh climate and the high probability of damage to light and multi-colored clothes - there is plenty of dirt in the provinces and even in the capital. On the other hand, there are now a lot of clothes that have bright colors and are perfect for Russian reality, now more and more men understand this, but unfortunately, by and large, only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the province remains grayish.
Bright colors have their advantages - give it a try and you won't regret it. I was inspired to write this article by a conversation with one acquaintance - the boy is fond of music and has grown a beard, but at the same time he wore ordinary average clothes - a black jacket, a knitted hat, everything is like people have, except for a beard. It was the beard that became the problem for him.
After a series of terrorist attacks in Stalingrad (Volgograd), my acquaintance was regularly stopped and inspected by the police. Thanks to the beard that he had grown for three years, his image fit perfectly with the image of a classic terrorist - a radical Islamist!
One day the police stopped my friend 5 times! And I got the idea to give him advice, which he followed. I recommended that he dress brightly, we chose a new bright wardrobe and now he is almost never stopped to check his documents. The image of a man with a beard in bright clothes is a completely different image - a creative person ...
This is how clothes and beards can affect our lives and how others perceive us.
