Zagreb Style. . .

Do you remember that when I first visited Zagreb last year, Dottoressa introduced me to spica, the Zagrebian custom of dressing up and meeting friends for coffee on Saturday morning? Sadly, we didn't have a Saturday in Zagreb this visit, but the rows and rows of tables and chairs under umbrellas spread down the centre of so many pedestrianised streets were full, nonetheless, of well-dressed folk chatting animatedly with friends over coffee. Too late, I realized what a great opportunity this was for sketching, and I pencilled a few attempts, added a bit of paint back at the apartment.

Perhaps I was slow to note the opportunity because I was still marvelling at the number of polished outfits we'd seen in the 20 minutes or so it had taken us to wander past the tempting shop windows on Ilica.  . .

I will pause to remind you that it was 28 degrees Celsius (82 Farenheit) and very humid. . . These women could give lessons on dressing well in hot weather. . . Linen abounds here, in so many easy yet elegant shapes, and wrinkles don't seem to be a problem. As well, cotton-- shirtdresses especially, and long ones, worn with sneakers just to show that elegance doesn't have to mean giving up Street Edge. . .

While there was much evidence of dressing in polished neutrals (the three women in the top two photos, for example), there was also lively use of colour -- doesn't this yellow pop beautifully against that Zagreb-tram blue?!

 Simple, strong looks on women of all ages. The woman below was "of a certain age" who pulled off that vibrant skirt with élan.

And I saw some wonderful examples of colour and print combinations -- this woman's bag strap was such a great complement to her skirt that I tried to get a better shot, but remember, I'm trying to stay "on the down-low" here, and my stealth skills are negligible. . .

 but if you look at the cropped and enlarged capture below, perhaps you'll see what I mean. . .

 This combination was so good, although she'd hurried past me before I registered that I loved and wanted a photo of the outfit. Bold. with the textured white skirt, that printed shirt, the contrasting bag and sandals. . . And even (or especially?) with these more edgy combinations, the hair and makeup always polished -- not overdone, very natural, but clearly given attention.

Below -- isn't this great? Long, flowing but never overwhelming, summer dresses and flat or platformed shoes, almost always with an element of interest, whether colour or shine or fringe or bow. . . Polished ease. . .

And you can begin to grasp the scope of the outdoor coffee culture, can't you? Of course, these shaded tables are also available for beer, sparkling water, a glass of Prosecco, and many of them serve food as well, but coffee rules here.

 Rows and rows and rows of shaded tables, with a Style Parade of pedestrians walking past to check out for the latest shoe or bag or skirt styles while we catch up with our friends over the drink of our choice. . .

We're leaving Zagreb today, and I'll soon be looking at Paris Street Style. . . But I'll be thinking about this beautiful old city, and making some inevitable comparisons. I have many more photos of Zagreb style to show you -- unfortunately, not a single one from our visit with Dottoressa yesterday. We were simply to busy catching up on our respective travels, on our reading, our families, world politics, lamentable leaders. . . As she emailed me later, our quick good-bye when her taxi rolled up in front of the Konoba we'd lunched at (another of those almost-three-hour lunches) was very Cinderella like. The taxi didn't quite turn into a pumpkin, but I'm not sure if she got home with both her shoes. . . ;-)
