There are many types of Japanese fashion magazines, and the system is distinct, but there are also corresponding target groups, such as "Oggi", which was launched in August 1992, targeting 25~35 years old; Launched in 2007, Marisol targets women around the age of 40... Ladies can choose a magazine that suits their outfit and taste according to their personal style.
Marketing routines aside, fashion magazines have indeed effectively promoted the development and popularization of Japanese fashion, women of all ages know "how to wear is fashionable", and their aesthetic ability has been correspondingly improved in the process of reading magazines, just like the fashionable girl that this issue of Cat Sister will talk about - Matsumoto Ena.
At 158cm tall, Ena Matsumoto was a well-known graphic model who debuted in the magazine Vivi in 2005 before becoming the head of the brand. Although her height is not dominant, the victory is in good proportions.
At the same time, it also has a strong aesthetic and matching ability, even if it is almost 40 years old, the dress is still elegant and high-end, attracting countless women to imitate and learn from. So if I reach the age of 40, I must learn from Matsumoto Ena's dressing, elegant and advanced, let's follow Sister Cat to see how she dresses up!
Tip 1: Follow the color scheme of the same color system but different hues
Abandon the complicated stacking of forms and colors, and explore the most natural outfit from simple color matching, which is the true meaning of tonal wear. It has two modes of operation: one is completely the same color, there is no difference in dark and light tones, and the straightforward simplicity is carried out to the end; One is the imperfect color, there are subtle tonal differences, and the use of color to create a sense of visual layering, Matsumoto Ena is the latter.
Her attire follows the same color scheme but different hues, matching two or more similar shades adjacent or close. It is different from the same tone, which will not produce a sense of sluggishness, and can also increase the layering of the shape, highlighting the wearer's own superb taste.
(1) Dark coffee + dark brown
Check out Matsumoto's tonal looks: dark coffee pullover sweater, dark brown woolen pants, sand coconut light rice lambswool coat. The whole outfit consists of three clothes, which exactly follow the color scheme of the same color system but different hues. There is a slight difference in the color tone of the upper and lower body, just this little adjustment of color brightness and darkness, so that the whole set of look not only has color coherence and layering, but also has the practical effect of extending the body shape, showing height and thinness.
(2) Inky black + dark black
The biggest advantage of wearing the same color is to simplify the overall look, which is simpler and more advanced than the dazzling color contrast, and can also highlight the mature charm of a 40-year-old woman.
Matsumoto Ena chose to use an inky black undershirt with a dark black high-waisted pleated skirt, and if you look closely, you can find that there are obvious differences in the fabric and color shade of the upper and lower body, which not only highlights the simple and generous high-end beauty, but does not show a monotonous and boring feeling, everything is just right.
Tip 2: Emphasize the waistline to make three to seven ratios
Matsumoto Ena is 158cm tall, if once the waistline line is blurred or directly blocked, then not only does the proportion of the whole person not coordinate enough, but also directly lowers the leg line, showing short and bloated. Therefore, she usually emphasizes the position of the high waistline through pieces or techniques, so as to create a superior three-to-seven ratio.
Way 1: The belt is tied to the thinnest part of the waist
The first technique to emphasize the high waistline is to use a belt, which can be tied to the delicate part of the waist to instantly present the slender waist and high waistline in front of the viewer's eyes, and the ratio of three or seven is achieved overnight.
Take a look at Ena Matsumoto: light gray coat, slim little black pants and midi boots. Simply tie the light gray belt that comes with the coat, and the high waistline is instantly clear. The viewer's gaze is drawn upwards by the belt, and the leg line is also invisibly elongated, which naturally shows the length of the leg.
Method 2: waist-length top + high-waisted bottom
The combination of waist-length tops and high-waisted bottoms follows the fashion circle's rules of dressing for upper and lower lengths, and simply uses the length difference between the upper and lower bodies to easily lengthen the line of the lower body, highlighting the superior ratio of three or seven points.
The cropped sand coconut light rice plush jacket with high-waisted jeans just follows the law of matching the upper short and the lower length. Matsumoto Ena's original waistline was shifted upwards by a few centimeters, the leg line was lengthened upwards by a few centimeters, and the proportions of the entire body were recut and divided, and the height of 158cm visually looked like 170cm.
Tip 3: Choose basic pieces that don't feel ageless
The excellent temperament of elegance and indifference is the best medicine that years give to 40-year-old women, but "how to dress to reduce age" is still the ultimate goal of 40-year-old women. A small number of women want to weaken the sense of age through bright and delicate colors or age-reducing elements, but in the end it backfires, not only does not show age reduction but also a sense of tenderness, Matsumoto Ena has not stepped on the thunder.
She understands that a 40-year-old mature woman cannot pursue age reduction too much, as long as she dresses concisely and generously, so she does not choose tender clothes, and the basic items without a sense of age are her favorite. With no frills or lines, the sleek silhouette is of its own, blurring age lines with ease, and quietly looking younger.
