From rustic to earthy, earth itself has been given some relatively derogatory impressions. often points to things that are not in line with the mainstream, low, or even some weird things that are difficult to understand.

But why are fashion icons that are the vane of atmospheric beauty also ridiculed? What exactly makes people think of earth to the public? What is the relationship between earth and beauty and ugliness?
Let’s have a brief chat today, and everyone is welcome to discuss more diverse and profound ideas.

Aesthetic logic covered by dirt
Yi Meiren won 12w of likes Paragraph-type counter logic post, each paragraph corresponds to rational and objective aesthetic logic.
First of all, ’s non-mainstream style ≈ niche style, but niche ≠ rustic.
Even if he often presents himself with an exquisite aesthetic of popular wear, occasionally trying some styling styles that break through the solid aesthetic does not mean that he has become boring.
Furthermore, in terms of retro + old-fashioned style, its look and feel is more towards old-school gentlemen or famous actors of the era, and this style is not earthy.

The relationship between different styles is that opposes and unifies , and they coexist and complement each other. is like red and white roses. It is impossible to stand on one side and refute the other as not beautiful.
A small number of people are troubled and dissatisfied because they have not received the "white, thin and young" bonus, and because the fashion icon itself is not white and thin enough, it makes them less anxious, which has no positive significance for their own advancement.
As long as fashion icons can withstand the test of time and brand, their professional capabilities and quality will not disappear just because they are deprived of their skin.
Finally, height is not the fatal key to a person's style and charm. Any height has the ability to create beauty + express beauty.
is not up to standard as a professional model, but the proportions are good and the height is no problem for a flat model.
Supermodels are indeed very fragrant, but the 158cm Emma Roberts are equally impressive and have universal reference significance.

To be honest, the aesthetic views output by Yi Meiren are all fair and objective, but they have nothing to do with soil, nor do they explain soil. , suspected of confusing concepts.
The reason why this time is so controversial is precisely because of the state of beauty that is confused by "earth". Putting aside the clothing items, Yi Meiren's style is as positive, hot and natural as ever, and has nothing to do with the general public.But whether this outfit is earthy or not is something else to say.
The body language is very generous and confident, and it is a kind of magnanimous sexy

Dialectical and unified aesthetic keywords
Before talking about earth, let’s take a look at the aesthetic subjectivity represented beauty and ugliness, elegance and vulgarity.
A simple and straightforward understanding of these two pairs of aesthetic phrases is: What is good-looking and what is not good-looking, what is good-looking and what is not good-looking.
This kind of contrast is shown in various fields. Just like film and television works that also explore human nature, it can be cut from a broader perspective and scenes, or it can be cut from more subtle trivial matters in life. The former is often more macro-romantic, while the latter is more subtle and secular. elegance and vulgarity are just personal preferences. What really distinguishes high and low is the story content itself rather than the presentation method.

From the aesthetic point of view of Oxy Uncle , the reason why beauty, ugliness, elegance and vulgarity are full of subjectivity is precisely because they are from a personal standpoint and based on their own human likes and dislikes. extend.
Just like people tend to unconsciously prefer the face and style of high-end versions of themselves, this is a very common phenomenon.
Therefore, beauty, ugliness, elegance and vulgarity are a dialectical, unified relationship of opposites, and are relatively subjective.

So, where does earth stand in the aesthetic comparison keyword group?
Uncle Oxygen would like to share his opinion for everyone to discuss, that is, beauty and ugliness are subjective, but soil is objective.
soil is more like the result of clearly wanting to pursue a popular style, but failing to meet the standards in any style. is commonly known as the embarrassment of being too high and too low. It is similar to the comparison between 's good marriage style and Ai Lian's style. The former is a phenomenon and the latter is a style.

If a person is not keen on fashion, his status will not be earthy, because he has not placed himself in an aesthetic system with template rules.
includes those aesthetic masters who understand beauty better than most people. It seems that they are not what the popular aesthetics recommend. They pay more attention to the aesthetic state they recognize.

This can also be understood why being called ugly is more frustrating than being called ugly.
Because "ugliness" may stem from one style's incomprehension of another style, it is a relatively intense emotional expression when expressing opinions. But "earth" is more like an existence that cannot be recognized by all styles. It is the embarrassment of trying hard but not reaching the average.

Now look at Yi Meiren’s controversial outfit this time, if it is If you want to go the retro millennium hottie style route, matching items can really take the texture a step further.
Especially the old-style denim that is easy to lose its texture. Compared with whether everyone can get this style, it may be more important not to let the texture hold back the style.
This outfit is slightly inferior to that of Devon Aoki in the same style, but both of them are undoubted charming beauties

The general public's aesthetic atmosphere
As a secular person, Uncle Ox cannot avoid being secular and wants to get rid of the earth. , stay away from the soil. However, I am only a mortal and cannot match the talent of the chosen one. What should I do?
Then relax your pursuit of objective beauty and dig deeper into your own subjective beauty. Use relatively "common" conditions to gain charm and style that has nothing to do with common.
Yi Meiren is a typical example of rushing to the front line when her style suits her. There are no bugs on the whole
including Kim Min-hee whose facial features are a bit earthy. She can also gain a large number of die-hard fans by dressing in an atmosphere.
The disadvantage of the lower half of the face is still obvious, but it does not delay the overall beauty atmosphere.
If you want to avoid being stupid, you must first clearly understand the scene and environment that occupies most of your life.
As most ordinary office workers do not want to be criticized by the general environment, want to gain wider public recognition most of the time, then simple design + good texture + elegant color matching are the first choice.
The more delicate the texture and strong drape of an item, the more it can break through style barriers and make people feel high-quality.
The details of accessories also focus on quality rather than quantity.
And this does not mean that we must cater to and stay within the aesthetic framework of others. It is enough that the overall style incorporates small details of personal preference and does not violate the characteristics of the scene.
Millennial hottie style has made a resurgence in mainstream aesthetics this year. 's selection of skin exposure + patterned texture is still an outfit that can balance hotness and texture in daily work and life.

One point we need to accept is that the more niche the aesthetic style is, the more specialized and highbrow it is, and there will be relatively fewer people who agree with it in most work and life scenarios.
Therefore, if you are a group with a niche style that you clearly like, don’t be confused by the current fashion when sticking to the style. try to explore the elements + colors + combinations of the source of this style.

After all, everyone should be able to feel that a certain treasure has the ability to imitate current popular items, and it is easy to be copied without knowing it. If the belt goes astray and imitating a cat or a tiger, it will most likely look crude. What's more, for those who truly love the connotation of niche styles, copycats will never reach the height of the authentic atmosphere.
Furthermore, it is also important to be able to match the scene and environment of the style, otherwise the same "strong" style may lead to completely opposite temperament and feelings.

This is also the point where you need to make a choice when taking a niche route. The suitable dressing scenarios are limited, and you need to have a strong enough heart to fight against the disapproving voices from the outside world.
At this time, the aesthetic logic of exploring the origin of style is often the driving force that supports their continuous internal drive and progress. After all, niche, conspicuous, and often controversial.
Those style icons that became popular in the millennium, not every outfit they wear is very popular today.
Even for Devon Aoki, the logic of her highly recognized Millennium Hot Girl suit tends to follow three basic logics. It is a combination of healthy wheat-colored skin + light Thai makeup with a pseudo-no-makeup look, a color palette with earth tones as the main color, and single items with high texture despite being highly exposed.
In this way, it will not appear to be frivolous and casually knocking over the color palette.
Each style has a set of unmistakable and recognizable aesthetic logic. Once you grasp it, the overall atmosphere will not deviate.
We all explore a better self on an individual basis. Working hard is more worthy of the respect of others than not working hard. .
A better attitude towards aesthetics may be to be down on the evaluation of beauty and ugliness, and to appropriately accept different voices. At the same time, we will never forget that making ourselves better is more worthy of investing our energy. In the end, we are the only ones who are truly responsible for our own beauty.
