Hi, I am Luo Wei, continue our journey of fashion and dressing, become beautiful and never get lost. ▼
What minefields will you encounter when wearing fashionable clothes? Today is a practical drill for demining.
Luo Wei advocates sharing theoretical information and practical analysis hand in hand. Reasonable and well-founded, with both appearance and content, from top to bottom, from detail to whole...
The matching of clothing and characters' shapes, colors, patterns; the coordination of the primary and secondary aspects of the overall collocation; the coordination and unification of single styles to modeling styles, we not only You need to know how to wear and style it, and you also need to know " why ".
Dig deep into the essence of the phenomenon, find out the classification rules, and understand the dynamic changes of [ potential ]. After a series of logical thinking, not to mention learning to dress, even a person's realm of controlling things and recognizing people will be qualitatively improved. .
The ability to learn how to learn is urgent for everyone.
Therefore, today’s sharing can be regarded as a summary of dry information. Luo Wei extracted 10 fashion wear minefields that novices are most likely to make mistakes, and resolved them one by one. By the way, I sent this to the lovely Wei friends who sent me private messages. I hope it can give you some inspiration.
Minefield 1: Destroying the Proportion of Appearing Taller
Fashionable dressing, appearing taller and slimmer is a secret and essential need. To achieve this, it is imperative to maintain [ vertical lines ], which is also the most basic good-looking routine.
No matter how you wear it, no matter how you pursue coolness, please stick to this bottom line. Especially those who are small and whose body proportions are not perfect should regard it as an imperial edict.
Luo Wei classified common mistakes into three points based on private message cases and error probabilities:
① color matching truncation
Color matching is a hard power. It not only emphasizes the compatibility of hue, depth, softness, coldness and warmth, but also the overall color matching area and proportion.
, especially the contrasting colors, control the area ratio of to , becoming the top priority. Typical examples are black and white. Don’t think that they are simple and elegant. Miscalculation of area is hard to prevent.
In the picture below, the white jacket, black pants, black shoes, and a black turtleneck shirt cut the entire body into three sections, making the legs appear short and affecting the vertical slimming and height ratio.
White pants and black shoes, no matter what you wear on your upper body, it has long been obvious that is not good-looking and is not good-looking. Looking at it as a whole, a slightly longer brown suit paired with white pants is not a big problem.
can cut the vertical proportions after the black shoes intervene, laying the risk of damage. Think about it, if you switch to a pair of white or beige pointed-toe shoes , will it have the effect of extending your lines and making you look slimmer and taller?
√ Correctly resolve
Taking the light beige short coat as an example, Luo Wei demonstrates its two advanced color matching ideas.
+black same color
Any short coat, no matter the length is above the waist or below the hips, when choosing dark or contrasting inner wear, you should use [ same color ]. Choose a color for tops and bottoms that will harmonize perfectly with the light-colored short jacket.
In addition, layer it with a white T-shirt to reveal a little bit of clean hem, adding a hint of playfulness and layering without being too boring. Black shoes and bags are put into battle at the same time, and the white pearl necklace is enhanced, and a refreshing and elegant outfit is presented immediately.
+ light color same color series
think black is too heavy? The light beige color of the same color as the coat is preferred. The difference from the black above is that the difference in depth between the inner sweater and pants is enlarged to create a contrasting layer difference.
belongs to the same color, but has sharp contradictory contrast, perfect! In addition, if the shoes and bags are of the same color, how can there be any suspicion of damaging the vertical proportion?
② long and short truncation
long and short, weird. Dressing randomly during the change of seasons, mixing and matching different styles, is like the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his or her magical powers.The coat is neither too short nor too long, the interiors are of various colors, the shoes are imaginative...
Knee-high riding boots are so handsome. If I had known that they would be paired with such casual pants, I would have run away with my face covered. Let’s not talk about the style. Just the vertical cut created by the long and short lengths shows how terrifying it is.
Of course, people with good figures and good looks are welcome to do whatever they want.
Exposed legs + socks + knee-length skirt + short jacket, there is no combination that makes people worry-free. Is this a deliberate attempt to highlight weaknesses and avoid strengths ? Even if I'm 165cm tall, I can't bear this kind of torment.
Pay special attention to some cute and sweet little girls.
By the way, has bare legs and wears mid-length pants and mid-calf boots. If you lose, you will lose with pride. I thought I could return to my original position in style and never give up until I am amazed. However, I didn’t know that it turned out to be a visual killer.
Under the large sweater, the proportions of the lower body are hard to describe. Would it be much better to add a pair of black stockings?
√ correctly resolves the
spring mix and match, pay attention to the matching levels of length and length. From jackets, inner wear, bottoms, to shoes, there should be an orderly and progressive relationship. Do not create multiple horizontal line cutting effects that affect the perfect proportion.
The cleaner and simpler the layer, the more conducive to improving the sense of high-end. On the contrary, the more chaotic and complex it is, the more it is taboo.
③ horizontal expansion
width + width, chaos + chaos, length + length, the ultimate killer that affects the vertical taller and slimmer lines! From top to bottom, it looks like a moving rectangular tube, stiff, heavy and short. This set of
originally intended to win by relying on material differences, but it failed to control the hierarchical relationship between thickness and lightness. Coupled with the awkwardness of the sweater underneath, the too-long skirt, and the heavy shoes, there is no redeeming quality.
√ To correctly resolve the
material mix and match of tops and bottoms, there must be obvious conflicts . For example, there are clear primary and secondary differences in tone contrast, thickness difference, style collision, etc.
If there are no details changes, coupled with the expansion of the sense of volume, it is easy to cause horizontal widening and affect the vertical lines. In addition, the balance between length and length is even more important.
Minefield 2: Color matching is confusing
There are always some people who are not novel and unfashionable; there is always a way to wear them that challenges the limits of color matching. When the three-color dressing method has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are still many girls paying for [ color confusion ].
Not to mention the arrogant and eye-catching color war, I just want to dress my whole body into a color palette. Regarding the common random color combinations, Luo Wei has three lightning protection points that she would like to remind you.
① Dark and light confusion
As shown in the picture, some people may say that this combination is okay, and I wear it the same way. But Luo Wei would like to remind: From the perspective of pattern and element matching, the idea is correct, but one important point has been ignored: the primary and secondary balance of 's dark and light highlights and 's.
The contrast between the sweater and the trousers is obvious, directly cutting the vertical proportions, plus the abrupt embellishment of a pair of black shoes. Although it echoes the clothes, it destroys the aesthetic proportion.
Think about : Change into a pair of brown, beige or black pants, and decorate them with a blue bag. Wouldn’t it look more grand? The sweater pattern is the protagonist, and then the bright blue takes the lead, and of course it is a mess!
√ Correct resolution
When matching dark and light colors, or colors with patterns, according to the printing area and saturation of the tone or pattern, first determine who is suitable for to be the protagonist , and then follow the trend.
uses light or bright colors as the protagonist, and it is easy to fall into a minefield that is not high-end. It is far less elegant than dark underlay and light/bright color embellishments.
② Hue confusion
Hue, that is, color.In an outfit, there are many kinds of and in different colors, and there is no control over the tonal relationship between them. It looks messy, chaotic, and without priority. How can it be good-looking?
As shown below, a pumpkin-colored coat, red and black patterns, fruit green shorts, and black boots are all put together in a rigid combination. I don’t know what I want to express, and I don’t understand why they have to be forced to match each other.
√ Correctly resolve
bright colors, it is not unclassy, and it is understandable if you like to wear it. But the premise is that you must know whether should choose , be able to match colors, and refuse to mess up. Keep the same color tone, or keep the priority and order clear and orderly, and the harmonious atmosphere will respond to your call every minute. In terms of color matching techniques,
is more advanced than in the same color system and , and is suitable for any color.
③ Saturation confusion
Saturation, that is, the brightness of color, is also an indicator of the vibrant nature of bright colors. The higher the saturation of and , the more vivid it is. When adding different degrees of gray, or black and white, the brightness is alleviated and diluted, becoming low-key and stable.
As shown below, from left to right, you can feel the difference between different saturations.
Common saturation confusion, there are two situations:
. Both colors are bright
A blue shirt is paired with orange trousers. When the saturation is reduced, the sense of luxury increases. Although starting from the cold and warm color matching, it is impeccable, but when you want to look more grand, controls the brightness and is the measuring stick.
Color matching experts all know this point well and will never use two eye-catching colors at the same time. Ensure that is prioritized and is in order, so that one party is the king and the other party cooperates obediently. Only by advancing and retreating can harmony be achieved.
For example, orange + elegant beige, and white connection, it is perfect.
. The combination of high saturation colors + light colors
bright colors of the same color is believed to have become the benchmark for color matching. Crowe wants to stop some colors, such as red, pink, yellow, and other warm and bright colors. This plan may not be suitable.
Passionate + full + spread over a large area, it will only add to the vulgarity. It is far less practical and elegant than matching with basic colors such as black, white, gray and beige. Comparing the pictures above and below, the intervention of elegant beige can be seen.
If you want to be worry-free, basic color + colored will always be the correct color matching template. Don’t worry, it works every time.
And bright red, pink, yellow, when used as embellishment color , it is their unshirkable fashion mission. Accurately grasping the fashion usage of each type of color is worthy of everyone's exploration.
Minefield 3: Mismatched styles
The combination of different items is by no means a random act. In addition to grasping the color matching, the matching degree between styles can also easily form a minefield.
is stiff, haphazardly put together, and has no orderly and harmonious visual sense, which are all major taboos that affect whether it looks good or not.
Generally speaking, the style mismatch is reflected in two points:
① The silhouette does not match the
silhouette, that is, the direction of the line outline. The overall silhouette of a matching set is determined by tops, bottoms, and shoes. There are mainly keys: 1. Matching of straight and curved lines; 2. Mixing and matching of silhouettes.
Like the top is wide and the bottom is tight, the top is short and the bottom is long, the outside is loose and the inside is tight, the top is narrow and the bottom is wide... forming a well-proportioned and harmonious combination, allowing the body line to maximize its strengths and avoid weaknesses.
In the picture below, the stacking of a vest and an H-shaped jacket adds to the sense of expansion. It is paired with a long and wide skirt and black thick-soled boots. Without the exquisite shrinkage adjustment, it looks dragging, short, and fat.
√ Solution
Taking coats of the same length as an example, here are two matching ideas:
+ small pants
A long coat is paired with small pants. Even if it is paired with a skirt, the length of the skirt should be controlled to be almost as long as the coat. Make sure the is fresh and below the calf, and the is neat and , so that the jacket can be used as you like.
In addition, how many people will pay attention to the repeatedly emphasized detail of making shoes and bottoms the same color?
+wide-leg pants/long skirt
The same long coat, the small-leg pants look neat, and the wide-leg pants look free and easy. They are all classics that can be easily picked up. However, when matching wide-leg pants, you must ensure that the width and texture of the wide-leg pants are smooth and smooth.
If you wear a long skirt, please make sure the fabric is elegant or the pattern is flexible. Like the satin H skirt, it is shiny and textured, contrasting with the long coat and making it more elegant.
② style mismatch
has some matching, which is not wrong at first glance. But I always feel something weird, unspeakably uncomfortable, but I can't explain why. When this happens, the problem is probably: style ! Either there is no style, or the style does not match.
As shown in the picture, it is a quilted down jacket + suit vest, jeans + thick-soled shoes, with a black and red sweater underneath. It doesn’t look good, but it always feels half-country and half-foreign, which is weird.
As for this set, the color matching is not wrong, but the style is also messy and mismatched. The fur that was originally high on the ground suddenly fell to the grass, making it look gray and gray.
The wide-leg pants with an unknown pattern and the white platform shoes are really admirable .
√ Solution method
Familiar with the style of a single product, starting from the shape, color, quality and pattern; controlling the styling style, starting from the current fashion... If you want to improve your clothing, this is a basic skill.
When wearing, start with the simplest style first to ensure that the set has obvious main style . Once you are proficient, move on to more advanced style mixing.
