Good evening
Today's backstage message, reader @ Liu Bingjie is very powerful, actually made yesterday's push a mind map (poke blue can be reviewed). ▼
I have always enjoyed reading the messages in the background, in addition to seeing such small surprises, but also often get a lot of inspiration for the topic. One of the most frequently asked questions is: "Kaka, I'm 50+, do you have any advice on dressing?" "I liked a piece of clothing, but I felt that it didn't fit my age right now."
In most people's minds, they still feel that every age group has clothes that are suitable for wearing, and at a certain age, some items should be eliminated.
Actually, this is not the case. Age is never a restriction on dress.
Today is our "Undefeated Beauty of the Years" column, I would like to share 3 60+ beauties who wear "ageless feeling". ▼
They do not belong to the "frozen age beauty", there will be wrinkles on the face, the skin will also have sagging, but if you cover your face and look at the wear, it is difficult to guess their age, right?
These 3 have their own style of dress, or casual, or capable, or lively. The same point is that the dress is not limited by age, it is very stylish, and the state and posture are very light and natural.
After watching them, you will find that the clothes that can be worn by 20 years old can still be worn by 60+ people.
Let's take a look at the dressing scriptures of these three:

Comfortable and easy-going French style
Representative: Nili Lotan
Before sharing with you a good-looking brand lookbook, mentioned the New York brand Nili Lotan, a small partner said that the brand founder Nili Lotan is also very well dressed ah, comfortable and casual, with its own French atmosphere. ▼
Looking at the state of Nili Lotan, is there a kind of calmness that has been precipitated by the years? She's 65 years old. ▼
Having worked as a senior design director at Ralph Lauren and Nautica Fashion, she founded her own brand in 2003 and sparkles in her area of passion.
The dressing style is very similar to her brand style, mainly based on the basic model, simple and fashionable. Vitale, CEO of Salvatore Ferragamo North America, once said of the designer: "She doesn't care about age, his clothes can be worn by 25 years old, and 65 people can wear them, which is something that many designers have not done." ”▼
Private clothes have a Kind of French Chic atmosphere.
Her wardrobe is basically occupied by the basics, and she often wears classic core pieces, and many of us have them in our wardrobes. ▼
In the state of 60+ can wear the basic model effortless fashion, in addition to her body conditions have extra points, there are also many points worth learning from the selection and collocation details of the dress.
The items she loves to wear are almost all the "evergreen trees" of the fashion industry, such as denim shirts, flared pants, white shirts, black suits, etc.
I especially prefer denim pieces. Denim shirts have been an essential staple of her wardrobe since she was a teenager, often wearing a denim outfit directly. ▼
When the weather is cold, you can add a coat directly outside, small suits, lamb hair coats and so on. A denim is also very colorful. ▼
The classic CP of denim blue also has white, and the style of white pants is more refreshing. ▼
Among the jeans, the seventies-style flared pants are arguably her favorites.
I like to match small black boots, just cover half of the foot surface, and suddenly stretch the legs by several centimeters, looking very slender. ▼
The oversize white shirt is also the heart of Nili Lotan's style. She describes the piece as one of the pillars of her wardrobe and brings a sense of calm every time she wears it. The white shirt + jeans are her favorite "workwear" standard, the simplest classic French style wear. ▼
Do you think that everything she wears will give people a relaxed and casual feeling?
Revealing more skin is key. She wears a shirt and likes to roll up the sleeves and create a big V-neck. Unlike most people, her neckline will be very low, and the visual button is only half buttoned haha. ▼
The black suit that is essential for office workers, she will choose a fit but not very close-fitting fit, the length will not completely cover the hips, it looks neat. Pair it with her favorite jeans for no seriousness. ▼
I can dress the basic model fashionably and look good, and the accessories also play a big role. She is a relatively complete match of accessories, usually earrings + bracelet / watch + ring + belt four-piece set ~ necklace is sometimes worn and sometimes not worn. ▼
Although her accessories are worn completely, they do not give a very full feeling. She chooses exquisite classic styles, which have a sense of presence but are not too eye-catching. Accessories are also the most golden, and with the basic model can be a good light up shape. ▼
She also wore a necklace at her daughter's wedding, which looked more solemn. ▼
Occasionally, she will try a long necklace with a lot of style, because she wears the basic model and does not have to worry about the collocation being violated. ▼
You will also choose some silk scarves to decorate the neck, almost all of which are thin and narrow silk scarves, which will be more handsome and neat than ordinary square scarves. ▼
There is also an accessory that she will have in every outfit, have you found it? It is a retro wide belt, basically black, which belongs to the versatile and unchallenged model. ▼
The hairstyle also added a lot of points to her. Slightly messy curls, there is an unpolished beauty. ▼
Compared with straight hair, I still think that her curly hair is more atmospheric and beautiful. ▼
Oh yes, she also loves to laugh and is very infectious. Even if the marks of age can be seen on the face? Being able to catch the gift of age is the real undefeated beauty of the years ~▼
Smart and neat big woman style
Representative: Christiane Arp
Christiane Arp, former editor-in-chief of the German edition of VOGUE, wears her own style, simple and fashionable, capable and aura, simply a walking woman herself!
A silver hair is also super cool, very memorable ~ ▼
Christiane Arp, 61, was editor-in-chief of vogue germany for 17 years and chair of the German Fashion Council.
Before many people said that there is no good design in Germany, Christiane Arp launched the Vogue Salon to refute, she is quite influential on the German fashion circle, to a certain extent, can represent German fashion.
Her style is very morally calm, restrained and noble. ▼
Compared with the previous designer Nili Lotan, her style is more suitable for office workers to learn from
First of all, in the color matching, she loves to wear black and dark colors, which makes people feel that she is a very convincing big guy at a glance. ▼
She can be said to be a proper black lover, from clothes to shoes and bags, often wearing a black outfit to participate in events. ▼
It is rare to see her carrying a large bag, and the number of appearances of small bags is more frequent. And I prefer clutch bags. ▼
If you wear light colors, the choice is also "noble" colors, such as white, champagne, khaki, generally with black bottoms or coats, plus a little formality. ▼
In addition to color, the style of the clothes places great emphasis on texture and silhouette.
Recently, I talked with my friends that as I grow older, I will pay more and more attention to the texture of clothes compared to design. Good texture can be seen in photos, and Christiane Arp's clothes fall into this category. ▼
Like many fashionistas, she also likes the shirt, but she likes to wear satin and silk fabrics. It felt like a satin shirt was taking up half of her wardrobe haha. ▼
Compared with cotton shirts, satin and silk shirts have a sense of luster, and there will be a sparkling visual effect in the light, which looks not only expensive, but also more elegant and feminine, not so aggressive, especially suitable for important occasions. ▼
Straight-line pieces are also good at creating an aura. The H-shaped suit and coat are her favorite items, and the silhouette is structured. She often "doesn't wear well" the coat, draped directly on the body, super imposing. ▼
Handsome suit pants are more favored than skirts. Wide-leg trousers with a strong drape and a foot-length are preferred, and they are even more imposing with a long coat. ▼
Like Nili Lotan, Christiane Arp likes to wear accessories, but she doesn't wear them all, usually only controlling 2 to 3 parts. ▼
The accessories selected are more weighty, the sense of presence is very strong, and it can be noticed at a glance. She had worn these gold bead earrings several times. ▼
Glasses are also part of her style. Her preference for glasses is very fixed, and she likes to wear black thick-rimmed glasses. This kind of black-rimmed glasses is easy for ordinary people to wear, but it is very suitable for Christiane Arp's calm and restrained big femininity. ▼
Sunglasses are a sharp weapon to increase the aura, and there is no doubt that they are black ~▼
Lively and changeable mix-and-match winds
Representative: Lucinda Chambers
The last one is Lucinda Chambers, 63, a former fashion director for british versions of VOGUE and ELLE.
Unlike the previous two dressing examples, Lucinda Chambers' style is more varied, and she likes to try various styles of 60+, Such as Japanese style, street style, simple style, lively style and so on. ▼
Her dressing is not very instructive, because she likes unusual collocations, likes fun and playful pieces, like a "fashion old naughty boy". But we can see more possibilities for dressing in her. ▼
Many people may think that flower clothes are more suitable for young people, Lucinda Chambers can not be old, contrast, bright color clothes she has a lot, more color, a little more exaggerated does not matter, more can wear her style. ▼
School uniform pants, broadband sandals you will wear when you are studying? The 60-year-old is not wrong. ▼
Who said that a big gold chain can only be worn by a young and handsome young man? Lucinda Chambers she not only has to wear, but also chooses the most exaggerated one to create the highest recognition haha. ▼
She also has a beaded necklace, but it is not a small and delicate kind of Oh, but a real large beaded necklace, especially eye-catching ~▼
Occasionally, there are even large and small beads stacked on top of each other. ▼
With her own set, playing with mix-and-match is particularly slippery.
The combination of extra long wide-leg pants + thick-soled shoes has been worn many times. Unlike the popular thick-soled shoes, her soles are much thicker. Either wear casual sports platform shoes, or grass-bottomed fisherman thick-soled shoes, with a bit of retro literary flavor. ▼
Straw thick-soled shoes she loves so much. ▼
This pairing combines elegant pleated T-shirts and gauze skirts, casual T-shirts and street-style gold chains, so it's a bold attempt to try this Marni white bag with high utilization. ▼
By the way, she not only dresses and has a personality, but her home in West London is also beautifully arranged, very her personal style, put a few pictures for you to see. ▼
Rebecca's words:
After watching these three 60+ beauties, whose outfit is your favorite?
Many people may say that they still have to be thin, but in fact, the most charming place about them is the spirit, the vigorous vitality that emanates from the inside out, so that they can shine no matter what age they are.
And in our lives, not only dressing, including career choices, marriage choices, etc., should not be limited by age. Of course, many things are easier said than done, but we can slowly have this awareness, and slowly break through and change ourselves. Don't be bound by "what you should do at any age", our lives can have more and richer choices.
Do you have such a "undefeated beauty of the years" around you? Let's talk about the comment area.
That's it for today. Finally, I wish everyone a heart that is always young and full of vitality.
