Jacqueline Kennedy, known as the American fashion icon, once said: "Style is not wealth and status, style is a way of thinking." When people look at a person, they can read the person's temperament and interpersonal relationships through her clothing and overall style. Clothing is another communication language that is different from speech. A woman who knows how to dress up and has aesthetics can still impress people at a glance even if she gets older.
is like the amateur blogger Emily from the UK we are going to introduce in this article. She is a little-known British mother, but she has developed a strong aura with her excellent clothes and good taste.
She is not a fashionista, let alone a hot celebrity model. Emily is just a simple mother who often appears on camera with her lovely daughter. The uniqueness of
Emily's outfits is that she is particularly good at using affordable brand items to create a minimalist and high-end style for herself. Every piece of affordable clothing is resounding and high-quality. It seems to be quite satisfactory, but it is irreplaceable after being swept away by the waves.
The timeless calm colors and elegant and decent dressing style create Emily's casual and calm temperament, and this minimalist dressing mode also makes Emily look stylish and outstanding no matter what status and environment she is in. Let’s learn together how this amateur mother wears basic clothes beautifully.
1. How to quickly identify minimalist but very textured affordable clothes
√ The fabric has texture
Many girls are confused like this. They obviously buy clothes from high-street affordable brands with an average price of tens of hundreds. Why are the clothes they buy so cheap, while the styles bought by bloggers are very high-end? In fact, the problem lies in the selection of styles. Looking at Emily's wardrobe, half of it is affordable styles. If she wants to choose styles with texture, she prefers items with obvious fabric texture.
For example, like the brown woolen sweater and gray woolen trousers demonstrated in the picture above, the high-quality fabric has a concave and convex toughness and is attached to the minimalist silhouette, projecting a low-key luxury and high-end, and making the wearer feel comfortable.
Most of the affordable clothes do not have their own independent designers, so we cannot put too many requirements on the shape and overall clothing design. However, high-quality fabrics themselves will not deceive people, so if you want to buy high-quality clothes, you must spend money on items with excellent fabrics.
is like a winter wardrobe. Like Emily, you can invest in some woolen sweaters or cashmere sweaters, as well as woolen suit pants with thick and soft texture. Simple and smooth lines combined with comfortable and flexible materials present an uncarved, simple and gentle atmosphere. At first glance, it feels like a high-end brand.
√ Mainly neutral color items
In fact, the more brightly colored items are, the more powerful the designer’s design skills are required. After all, being able to perfectly combine the bright colors with the high-end sense of clothing styles requires a certain amount of skill. However, the profits of affordable items are not that high, and there are no designers with superb aesthetics. Therefore, try to choose some items in basic neutral colors. They will restore the texture of the clothes themselves, and their unique style of being calm and not noisy is the source of the high-end sense of minimalist style.
Emily's outfits are basically common neutral color combinations. In addition to simple black, white and gray, there are also some Morandi colors with grayscale that are particularly easy to present a sense of luxury.
The Look above: deadwood brown red and dark green are two neutral colors obtained after blending into gray tones. Their brightness is not high and the saturation is moderate. They are very similar to the colors stripped from ancient temples and oil paintings. They exude a stable, soft and resolute beauty, which is in perfect harmony with Emily's calm and cool temperament, which is hopelessly attractive to people.
√ The silhouette should be loose
The reason why some affordable items look high-end is because the relaxed and comfortable feeling they bring when worn on women is very high-end, so the silhouette of the item is also very important. Try to choose clothes with looser silhouettes and slightly larger styles, which will make it easier to create the effortless fashion that women want to achieve.
In Emily's outfits, basically every set of Look is based on loose and casual styles. The basic cold colors combined with the loose and neat tailoring outlines fully demonstrate the casual and capable urban style. Although there are no extra gorgeous embellishments on the whole body, the stretched strength and feminine softness are still clearly discernible.
2. How to make minimalist outfits more fashionable
Tips 1: Use fabric collisions to create layers of clothing
To avoid boring basic outfits, you can try to combine clothes of different types of fabrics. The advantage of this combination is that it can unknowingly break the monotony of minimalist outfits, making the outfit look simple without losing personality.
You will see many such combinations in Emily's outfits: a matte pure wool V-neck Polo shirt paired with a pair of matte leather pants. The contrast between the two materials is obvious. The matte matte leather is more sparkling against the flexible wool. The exquisite gorgeousness collides with the original roughness, highlighting the feminine temperament while also showing a bit of cool power.
Especially when wearing the same color, the difference in materials must be widened to look good. For example, pair a black matte sweater with smooth black suit pants, and use a glossy black leather belt as an embellishment around the waist. The overall ups and downs of the layering will look very interesting.
Moreover, the overall loose silhouette tailoring and elegant and simple style also bring a mellow sense of coolness and high-end and Zen wisdom, which complement Emily's calm and calm temperament.
Tip 2: Add bright accessories to break up the boring
Minimalist outfits can stand out. The power of accessories is absolutely indispensable. Investing in a pair of comfortable Birkenstocks for yourself will bring you different surprises whether you are creating a casual home style outfit or an urban style outfit.
If you don’t want to buy too extravagant accessories, you can also choose some accessories with exquisite design elements and pure texture, which can also enhance your outfit and enhance the sophistication and style of a minimalist outfit.
Emily is not a girl with a warm style, so some accessories that are too soft and delicate are actually inconsistent with her temperament, while some accessories with rough texture and distinctive style fit her very well.
An oatmeal-colored crew neck sweater + straight jeans and black short boots, a classic urban style three-piece suit, which is completely supported by the contours and fabric quality of the clothes themselves. A quiet and casual atmosphere floats in the clothes and body, making people feel naturally magnanimous and relaxed. When going out in winter, just put on a thick big coat and you will have the aura of a modern urban girl.
In this Look, Emily embellishes a green soft leather bag, which breaks the emptiness and boredom of traditional basic colors and exudes her artistic and elegant mood. It seems to be casual, but it is a big fashion.
