Good evening
Did you brush this group of pregnancy photos of Wu Qian the other day?
At that time, I saw it and thought, Wow, so beautiful, it makes people shine! Many people on the Internet say that she is like an oil painting girl, full of aura, put a few more pictures for everyone to feel. ▼
This retro and romantic style has been very popular in the past two years, and many female stars like it.
For example, Zhong Chuxi, her popular style in the past two years is almost all of this tone. ▼
Recently, I looked at the Lookbook of jewelry brand Vintage Hollywood, and it was so beautiful that it was also in this style. ▼
I call it "retro romantic", with both a retro romantic atmosphere and a little girlish femininity. It feels like Miss Qianjin, who has a good family next door, and as soon as she appears, people can't open their eyes.
Retro romantic style has an eye-catching effect at a glance, and it's easy to create a sense of surprise. Not only red carpet or photo shoots, but also try this style every day. ▼
Today, I will take you to a detailed understanding of what is retro romantic style and how we can build it:
What is "Retro Romantic"?
Flipping through old photos, this style can actually be seen often.
My goddess Lin Qingxia tried it as early as the 90s of the last century. ▼
This photo of Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung is also a classic beautiful picture. ▼
Going further back to the source of this style, I have read a lot of information and feel that it will be more similar to the style of the Rococo period.
This was the standard for aristocratic women in the Rococo period. ▼
The rococo period costumes as a whole are luxurious and romantic, and at the same time like to highlight the feminine femininity and sweetness. I love to use satin, lace, bows, pearls and other elements.
The French painter of the time, Elisabeth Louise Vigee-LeBrun, often painted portraits of royalty and nobility, and these were portraits of her period. ▼
The movie "Absolute Queen" is also created against the background of that period, and the costume is very representative. ▼
The retro romantic style is more like a simplified version of the Rococo style. Although the curves of the body are not as emphasized as in the past, (women in the Rococo period even wear corsets and skirts), but now popular are also designed with a waistline. The details of the clothes are not so complicated, and many complex elements are removed. The color will not be so pink, it will be more simple, and neutral colors such as black, white, and blue will be used more. ▼
It is not difficult to find here that the characteristics of retro romantic dressing are still very distinct: the clothing and accessories are more gorgeous and exquisite, but they do not appear too mature, and some girlish heart elements such as bows, ribbons, or elegant pearls are usually used to add the overall romantic atmosphere.
With these elements in hand, it's not hard to create a retro romantic style
Bows, pearl accessories
If you want to control this style in daily life, you can start with some small accessories.
The must-have accessory for retro romance is the bow hair ornament, especially the black bow, which has a high appearance rate. ▼
There are various materials for bows, but the ones that best fit this style are velvety and satin. Hair is usually a little curly, which can be draped or tied up. ▼
Along with the bow, pearl jewelry appears. There are pearl earrings and pearl necklaces, and warm pearls can add an elegance to the shape
Pearl earrings remember to choose a larger oh, the sense of presence is stronger, the finishing effect is better. ▼
We have an issue of the comic to share which accessories are necessary for different styles, and there are mentions of retro romantic styles of essential accessories. Let's put this picture again. Remember to choose small and delicate bags, and shoes should choose elegant retro style. ▼
Gorgeous velvet and satin
Another major feature of retro romance is that the fabric of the clothes comes with its own nobility.
Velvet not only has a retro feeling, but is also recognized as a high-grade texture. If you want to go with this style of friends, you can start with a velvet piece. ▼
In addition to the velvet bow mentioned earlier, velvet skirts are also a common choice. Remember to choose more skin-revealing necklines, small collars are easy to show old age and more picky figures. In addition to sleeveless sleeves, you may wish to choose puff sleeves and leg of lamb sleeves, and the retro flavor is stronger. ▼
Most importantly, the skirt must have a waistline!
This is also a very obvious feature of retro romantic dresses. Because it is said earlier that it has the shadow of the Rococo period, the most obvious feature of women's clothing in that era is that it is light and heavy, emphasizing the waist line.
A velvet skirt without a waistline will be more girly. ▼
In terms of color, the first choice is "heavy", black is the most common, add a little white embellishment, not easy to dull. ▼
In addition to velvet, there is also satin material with gorgeous DNA.
It will be softer and more feminine than velvet, and the faint sense of luster is also very temperamental. ▼
IU's outfit in the Korean drama "Druna Hotel" is also a very classic retro romantic style. ▼
Among the satin pieces, the most classic is the slip dress.
However, the style is too simple to slip skirt upper body is easy to resemble pajamas, sexy and retro flavor is insufficient. A little more detail in the design can better wear the taste of this style. And to choose a thicker material, suitable for daily outing to wear. ▼
Satin shirts are also a great way to create an atmosphere.
With a satin skirt, the nobility index up~
Before Song Huiqiao in the Korean drama "Now in the hands of separation", this set of Look is quite retro romantic. ▼
Generous collar, doll collar
The large square neck is also an iconic element of this style, which is a little sexy in addition to retro, and it is easier to shine with more exposed skin. Like velvet skirts, satin skirts, wrapped tightly is easy to get old, and a larger neckline will be refreshing and easy to control. ▼
In addition to the generous collar, the doll collar we mentioned N times before can also create this style, which will give people a more energetic and cute feeling. You can try on skirts, sweaters, and shirts with doll collars. ▼
The court-style collar with a bow will have a more retro romantic atmosphere.
I wore a doll collar sweater with a small bow at the neckline. ▼
The ruffled collar shirt worn by Ma Sichun in "Spit Conference" also adds a bit of retro court atmosphere to the overall shape. ▼
Puff sleeves
If you want to wear a sweater in the spring and want to go with this style, you can try a cardigan sweater with puff sleeves. With the aforementioned ribbon or bow accessories, the overall atmosphere is more atmospheric. ▼
Skirts and shirts can also choose puff sleeves, and there is a little court retro element in daily wear, which will be more special. ▼
Curly hair + red lips
Sometimes, the accessories of clothes are obviously right, but looking left and right always feel bad. Blackpink's Jisoo is, can you see what the problem is? ▼
The answer is makeup and hair.
Let's start with the hairstyle. Curly hair is recognized to be easier to get out of the retro vibe than straight hair. The first choice of large rolls, hair color can not be too exaggerated light color, bright color, at most dyed a dark brown, otherwise it will be broken at once.
And compared to short hair, I find that the advantage of this style is more obvious than short hair. ▼
The other is makeup. Jisoo's makeup is a little too light, especially the lips, almost close to nude, and the modern sense is stronger.
Retro romantic style makeup, red lips can be said to be the standard, if you go to an important occasion you can choose the retro rich red of the press. It is also possible to make it a little lighter, and the most important thing is to show the color. It is best to draw the eyebrows of the hairy flu with clear roots to create a "sense of qi and blood". ▼
Rebecca's words:
Well, we'll talk about retro romance today ~ I also want to ask you what you think about this style, like it or not? Friends who are "cold" to this style, don't forget to share the beauty of the dress, I am waiting for everyone in the background~
The first two days spent the first "overtime" weekend after the start of construction in the cold spring. Although I feel that such weather is more suitable for lying in the bed, but the daily work also has the joy of work, such as eating delicious barbecue with your friends late at night after work, you can see a lot of interesting people and things, "human fireworks, the most touching mortal heart." ▼
By the way, a few readers said that they would receive our push very late, so check if it is because there is no "star" for us!
Recently the weather is very cold, everyone pay attention to keep warm ah, but also wish you a new year to wear a style that suits you!
Good night, we'll see you tomorrow :)
