With the advent of spring, skirt items have begun to occupy the public eye again, among which the "cake skirt", which was once said by many people to be rustic and not fashionable enough, has become the "hottest" in the fashion zone overnight.
The cake skirt, also known as the tower skirt, is a gorgeous layered skirt, like a delicious mille-feuille cake, tugging at the heartstrings of every girl with a girl's heart and a princess dream.
You may subconsciously feel that the cake skirt is too grand, and if it is worn daily, it may seem exaggerated or difficult to control. Rest assured, since it can get high popularity, it proves that it also has a high "acceptance", so let's take a look at this charming skirt from the perspective of the editor.
Part 1: Cake dresses are also divided into eye-catching and low-key models, and these advantages and disadvantages are the choice issues you need to consider
(1) Eye-catching cake dress
> design features: rich layering, and more fluffy, and the color is more "complex"
√ advantages: eye-catching, more consistent with the style concept of cake skirt
× disadvantage: In reality, it will seem exaggerated
The stronger the sense of layering, the greater the "slope" of the skirt, the more eye-catching the cake dress will look, more like the princess dress in the retro movie, with the strong style definition, the color and pattern of the cake dress will look more complex and exaggerated.
This kind of exaggerated cake skirt is more suitable for female friends who are tall and have the right head-to-body proportions, after all, it is indeed difficult to have a complex style of cake skirt, so you need to be blessed by your figure.
(2) Low-key cake skirt
> design features: not much undulation, mostly light color
√ advantages: versatile and easy to control, low-key cake skirts are not picky in wearing
× disadvantages: It may cause a sense of cheesiness due to homogenization
However, the most popular cake skirt is still mainly white, and the layered design is mainly based on the lines and stitched fabrics with the deepening of the dividing line, and the skirt does not have a large sense of layered undulation, so the difficulty of such a cake skirt is naturally low.
In addition, the light-colored design is more versatile and not picky, so I suggest that if you want to start with a cake dress, you should start with a low-key style, the challenge is advanced, so that it is not easy to cause the single product to be idle.
(3) If you want to combine the advantages of a low-key and eye-catching cake dress, my suggestion is to choose a short cake dress
If you want to maintain the fluffiness of the cake skirt, but also don't want the cake skirt to be difficult to control and match, I would recommend that you choose a short cake skirt, using the short design to balance the fluffy feeling that may bring about the sense of expansion, the short cake skirt is also girly and fashionable.
The second part, the selection is secondary, and the key point that can really make the cake skirt fashionable is the matching
* The core of matching skills: know how to shape the style with a cake dress
(1) Gentle Korean dressing
Point 1: Use light-colored tops and cake skirts to match
The style keywords of Korean outfits are "lazy and casual", in addition to the choice of single items for love, we can also start from the color. Choose a light color or a basic color like apricot and gray to match a white cake dress.
The main thing is that the color should be "light", light can bring a sense of lightness, making the cake skirt appear smart and elegant, and this light-colored color matching can also well restore the charm of Korean wear.
Point 2: Choose tops that are often worn in daily casual wear
Korean outfits are familiar to the public because of their outstanding sense of casualness, and they are also worn more in daily life. So if you want to use a cake dress to give a Korean look, my advice is to go for something like a knit or a sweatshirt that has a casual fit.
It is more conducive to the formation of dressing style. But there is also a point to remind everyone here, don't choose an oversize version of the top with a cake skirt, because oversize will make the cake skirt look draggy, and the effect of shaping the outfit is not advanced.
Point 3: It is recommended to choose flat casual sneakers for Korean wear
Flat casual shoes are also a representative of athleisure style, and the recently popular training shoes are perfect for matching Korean cake skirts, which are lazy and girly.
(2) Girly ballet style dressing
Point 1: Choose a short cake skirt and a knitted top to match
The common point between ballet style and Korean style is that the colors are simple and relatively light, but the difference is that ballet style wear pays more attention to "girly and delicate".
In addition, referring to the impression of ballet style, if you want to restore the characteristics of ballet style, you should use knitted tops and short cake skirts to achieve it, especially if the knitted tops are slim, and it would be better if you could highlight the fluffiness of the short cake skirt.
Point 2, pantyhose + Mary Jane shoes increase the retro feeling of cake skirt wearing
Ballet style is not only girly, because ballet style carries classical charm, so ballet style also involves retro feeling, so we should also pay attention to injecting retro sense when shaping ballet style.
Socks and open-instep shoes can be paired together to create a retro feel, and Mary Jane shoes and granny shoes are inspired by the shape of ballet shoes, so they also go well with ballet style.
Point 3: Decorate your hair with ribbons to add a light and girly feel to your outfit
Of course, we can also seek highlights in the original styling style, such as accessories, ballet style outfits can still make a fuss about accessories. Considering the girly nature of the ballet style, we can add a tiara, which is the most eye-catching item of all the items, and the use of ribbons to wrap black hair is far more eye-catching and ingenious than ordinary accessories.
(3) Eye-catching
Point 1: You can use neutral style items to create a sense of contrast in wearing
If you want to create a sense of contrast, we can consider using a neutral coat or top to match the cake skirt, so that the cake skirt looks not only a little sweet, but also cool.
Point 2: Collide with feminine items and girly cake dresses
Because the cake skirt focuses on the sweetness of the girl, you can use a mature item like high heels to match the cake skirt, and create a contrast effect with a mature femininity and a smart girlish feeling, which is also very ingenious and eye-catching.
Point 3, long skirt + trousers, to create the most popular culottes at the moment
Culot pants have long been popular in the superman circle, and the two camps that seem to be opposites are particularly harmonious together, trousers add a sense of hierarchy to the cake skirt, and the cake skirt modifies the lower body well, and the upper body is best used to match slim items, and the whole set is particularly perfect.
If you don't have a dress in your wardrobe, don't buy an A-line skirt and follow the trend to try new styles.
