Jet Set is a term that was born thanks to Igor Cassini, a reporter for the American magazine New York. They began to use it to describe people who are able to organize meetings or get into places inaccessible to the common man. This is a kind of elite of society, to which absolutely everything is open.
The emergence of the term
“Jet Set” literally translates from English as “jet aircraft” and “society”. So these are people who spend their lives on air travel. Of course, they must be wealthy.
This term originated in the 1950s. It was at that time that civil aviation began to develop actively. At the same time, flights were incredibly expensive. Only wealthy people could afford them. For most ordinary citizens, air tickets were not available.
Today, Jet Set is a cult. There is an assumption that the moment of creation of the Concord supersonic aircraft was involved in its appearance. Then high-speed flights became available. You could even move across the ocean. In 1958, the first such flight was launched from London to New York. Only 6 hours were required to cover such a distance.
A little later, flights became available to a larger mass of people. Therefore, the term "Jet Set" began to mean a circle of wealthy people who have the opportunity at any moment to go to the other end of the planet. These wealthy clients are offered private jets or first class commercial cabins.
Who is the Jet Setter?
Today it is a way of life. It includes:
- attending prestigious events;
- purchase only the best and most expensive accessories and clothes;
- Accommodation in the most luxurious hotels.
This term is actively used in modern life. Thus, they even call music groups, restaurants, fitness centers. Often it is mentioned in the literature.
“Jet Setter” is not called someone who drives an expensive car or wears an elite watch. This is a travel style. Private planes or helicopters, the presence of a yacht - this is a symbol of wealth and freedom.
The real Jet Setter is a wealthy person who is a citizen of the world. He can easily take a walk to London, go shopping in Dubai, visit a disco in Goa or a wine festival in France. The main thing for him is the freedom of movement that money gives.
All travels in the style of "Jet Set" for a long time remain in memory. They can be retold to their grandchildren, they instantly grow into legends. And this “baggage” of impressions and emotions is much better than many expensive and unnecessary trinkets.
How do Jet Setters dress?
This style has its own characteristics. The main thing is to attract as little attention as possible during such a trip. That is why all labels on clothes should be hidden. Nothing bright, artsy, chic. For "Jet Setter" is characterized by a completely different clothes:
- well-fitting jeans, while they should be as simple and unremarkable as possible;
- comfortable shoes, because you have to spend a lot of time on your feet;
- Sunglasses;
- fashion jacket;
- suitcase on wheels.
