Changing into a gray tone style with no sexiness and tension to speak of, it makes people capture the freshness and elegance under her lustful packaging for the first time.
The gray tone of the old texture and the complex layers make her look thin and add a layer of thickness to the character.
It has a sense of story, and it is a new style that is out of the royal sister, cold and glamorous, and has a sense of vitality
Hui Yinghong even broke the traditional rule of "girls are suitable for light gray, and middle girls are suitable for dark gray", and used a light gray suit to match the high-quality look of the year.
Apparently light gray is more suitable for her
In contrast, it is found that gray has such a great effect on shaping people, no wonder all gray will become the first wave of fashion trends in the spring of 2024.
The advantage of gray is that after a large area of upper body, the surrounding environment seems to be downgraded, but it highlights the human body. Cold, high-minded, and a wide range of tasting space.
What's more subtle is that gray is not necessarily a boring and conservative luxury, but also an arrogant and domineering sexy, and changing to other colors may not have such a sense of balance.
This is also what Hong Kong fashion godmother Lai Jianhui said, gray is an ambiguous color.
A more comprehensive temperament presentation
It's just that as a common color, gray is not often seen in Asians' wardrobes, and the different skin tones/facial features/sense of volume have high requirements for the selection of gray.
Simplicity vs. dullness
Gray's outfit may seem like a new pot of old wine, but it is very informative for us, and anyone who is struggling with their own style conflict can find a solution in it.
Today, let's talk about the differences between different grayscales for the shaping of styles, and how to choose a more suitable gray color to match the gray style from our own conditions, and how we can restore its charm and atmosphere.
Grey style presentation
Peaceful and stable, unassuming and indifferent in the sexy, this unique sense of luxury and strong inclusiveness makes it full of fun, and a small change can affect or even break the existing style framework.
The soft warm gray is more elegant, and the light gray with oatmeal tones is more gentle and soft, and can also highlight the femininity and create a sense of autumn and winter atmosphere.

The cement gray with high gray scale and cold color is more calm and restrained, mature and steady, and it is a visual effect with no reservation and durability.
The texture of the knitwear and the cool temperament of the gray tone itself are matched with lace, sheer yarn and other elements, forming an uninhibited and lazy feeling.
The neutral and rich gray with simple and smooth silhouette and three-dimensional tailoring can best reflect the style characteristics of the Gray system, and it is also the king of autumn and winter atmosphere.
The dark and light gray are unified, which not only interprets the intellectual style to the extreme, but also loses the charm of elegance and ease.
At first glance, Gray is boring, but it is just a reinvention of the cliché pursuit of high-end and simplicity, but many people ignore that the charm it presents has its own uniqueness.
As an intermediate color, gray harmonizes the heaviness of black and the lightness of white, giving it a softer and quieter look and a restrained temperament.
Dior's classic Setria Grey is the condensation of the elegant and calm beauty created by the brand.
Prada Grey blended with white variegated patterns enhances the brightness and looks more sophisticated.
Miu Miu grey is supported by a delicate choice of colors and a broad-shouldered silhouette with a more youthful and rebellious fashion attitude.
On the basis of these styles, Gray has given a newer fashion connotation. It seems to be immutable, but it can accommodate multiple styles.
The low-key and introverted intellectual interpretation also makes gray often appear as a calm and capable workplace style, which is not too ostentatious and easy to show personality, revealing inner strength and perseverance and elegance, becoming a good protective color.
With a loose design and a clean cut, it forms a free and convergent resonance, and it is easy to create a big femininity with an atmosphere and casualness.
The gray texture is also the source of its "intelligence", and it jumps out of the stereotype of overalls through the changes in its concentration and texture.
It can also be used with cashmere, knitting and other materials to reduce the cold feeling and become more daily, with low fault tolerance.
It's just that many girls follow the principle that the girl's style chooses a white light gray and the mature route chooses dark gray.
The gray that is stuck in the middle of the brightness is easy to be disgraced and cannot set off the temperament well.
The "gray feeling" that is easy to roll over in daily life
Especially for a large area of gray like the Gray system, the color of the top and bottom is too close to the inside and outside, and it looks chaotic and colorless.
Gray's aesthetic interpretation
How to combine your facial features and body shape to choose the gray scale that suits you?
Let's take this gray spectrum as an example.
1. People with different facial features and gray adaptability
People with a high facial center of gravity, such as Liu Yifei and Jing Tian, are not suitable for choosing light gray (IX. grade) with too light volume, which is easy to suppress and appear light.
On the contrary, people with small facial features carefully choose heavy gray (grade I, II.), which is easy to appear dull and dull.
For people with a low center of gravity on the face, use gray with higher lightness, especially gray mixed with other auxiliary colors such as white and brown in the fabric, to stimulate the charm or coldness in the style attributes, and the desire value is full.
2. The adaptability of people with different body shapes and sense of gray color
People with a wide skeleton and a large body have a relatively downward texture, so try to avoid extremely light gray and avoid the visual transverse stretching caused by the slightly higher brightness of the swelling.
Medium-to-heavy gray scales between 25% and 35% brightness are better.
The texture of the person with a small skeleton and a low sense of body volume rises, and the gray superimposed with high brightness is easy to be confused in the overall appearance, drowning out the refreshing temperament of small volume girls and becoming turbid.
Avoid grays with brightness higher than 90%, and choose light-medium grays with 60-75% for better texture.
Take Ye Shuhua as an example, heavy gray is not as light as medium/light gray as small white flowers
The skeleton is large but bony, suitable for gray scales with a light 55-65% brightness, with soft materials and cuts to create a sense of curve.
The skeleton is small but fleshy, suitable for grayscale with a brightness of 30-45% medium to dark, and a sense of blurred volume with stiff materials and cuts to create a sense of neatness.
The body is skinny and the appearance is mature, it is recommended to choose gray with blue tones and green tones to dissipate the neutral temperament and adjust it in the "cold" direction.
People with a fleshy body and a childish appearance are relatively limited in the choice of grayscale, so it is recommended to choose gray with brown tones and yellow tones to neutralize and improve in the direction of "warm".
3. Four seasons sixteen beauty style and gray fit
It is difficult to judge by simple facial features and body shape, or if there is a conflict, you can also use the hue of the four seasons beauty to help judge.
People with warm hues such as Jingchun and Rouchun are not suitable for large areas of gray with too turbid upper body.
If the hue of warm spring is very warm, it is not suitable to choose a pure gray that is too high, such as Davy gray and manatee gray with obvious gray tones.
Mixed white to reduce grayscale
Gray with too strong presence or too high brightness will reduce the overall brightness of warm autumn people, and the lack of color with a prominent sense of cold and excessive jump-out and eye-catching cold colors will destroy the thick characteristics of warm autumn itself.
The light summer with a cold hue has higher requirements for the transparency of the color, which is relatively unsuitable for dolphin gray and charcoal gray with low brightness and heavy grayness.

In late autumn and late winter, the characteristics of low brightness and warm color temperature determine that they have nothing to do with light gray, and too low saturation and cold color temperature will offset their sense of atmosphere, and the style is chaotic.
The cold winter type with a very cold hue has a strong sense of color presence, and the gray color that is too light is almost very high.
Gray's Practical Rules
Tracing the fashionable origins of gray, which was already popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, it was used to convey the shifts of light and shadow, shadows and light of different depths, and the subtle and realistic details of the paintings.
At the same time, it is used extensively to balance the colors in the painting and reduce the intensity of visual oversaturation. Too cluttered and glaring, as long as you add gray, it becomes reasonable. The gray that acts as a backdrop does not attract attention, but makes bright colors more vibrant.
And preliminarily distinguish the light gray is responsible for highlighting and brightening, and the dark gray is responsible for reducing the weakening function.
Painter Umberto Bosioni "The State of the Heart"
The highly saturated colors are balanced with gray for a more comfortable look
It then became the favored color of high society, and the luxurious temperament was expressed in gray tones, which can be seen from then on.
So far, under the catalysis of the Gray system, gray has derived more suitable for the Asian style balance and shaping role.
1. Anti-temperature effect
Bright players such as Hui Yinghong and Reba, who are accustomed to a large amount of bright colors to avoid visual fatigue, are very suitable for gray to "cool down".
First of all, avoid the "stiffness" of deliberately suppressing the bright charm of the dark grayscale, and use a lighter light gray to bring out a bit of indifference. The sweetness that is hedged against the appearance style completes the balance of color temperature under the neutralization of gray, and achieves a quiet and feminine state.
2. Purifying effect
Their own "turbidity" is heavier, and players with mixed styles such as Zhao Jinmai and Li Cailing in the early days are easy to fall into the embarrassing dilemma of "wearing nothing brilliant".
The gray itself weakens the chromatic difference and is richer than the layering of pure white, and at this time, the sense of heaviness that symbolizes autumn and winter will be replaced by freshness, and the clarity of the picture will be improved.
The freshness is instantly recognizable
It is especially suitable for players who lack the evenness and clarity of their own skin tone, as well as players who have tried high-saturation items but have a low fit, and it is natural to use gray between skin tones and clothing.
3. Shaping role
As a neutral color that is always maintained, when the gray system becomes a transitional color, it can be a good coherent overall style, and can give a more concrete emotional expression.
The color tension and beauty are amplified, and the atmosphere is extremely strong.
Style hedging type, or want to "create something out of nothing" to create a sense of intellectuality/literature, you can cleverly use gray to match.
Compared with the warmth of black and red, gray and red do not have such a strong sense of collision, but they each combine the cold and glamorous in their appearance style. Deep retro and intriguing.
Thick textured materials such as woolen and leather in the winter scene add more mellowness, which is suitable for sisters who want to try red in the New Year, but suffer from a mismatch in style, you can choose a burgundy/dark red with lower brightness, and then use gray to balance.
The bright color of goose yellow makes the autumn and winter atmosphere light and relaxed, and the transition is made with warm gray with the same color sense, which neutralizes the overall tone and makes the temperament softer.
The addition of a large area of gray not only does not make it dull, but also makes the bright texture of yellow more prominent, evolving into a creamy feeling.
When encountering blue with a cold feeling, the color matching will be more refreshing, and it is a simple and color-friendly "eyewash" level matching.
The reason why Gray became popular is, on the one hand, stepping on the Oxford Dictionary's annual entry - Rizz, which refers to the charm of the style that can attract emotional partners. Combined with the Gray system, it outlines a unique and restrained charm.
Different from the traditional "neutral", nor is it a continuation of the so-called "quiet luxury style" and "old money style", the Gray system is more like a richer and more diverse interpretation in the current aesthetic context.
Wandering between neatness and relaxation, it exudes intellectual elegance in the low-key and restrained, and its meaning is so, and so is the feeling of life it brings us.
Stripped of the background color of "genderless color", the woman who wears gray is never in pursuit of rotten "old money", but yearns for a soul that is not bound by labels.
