In the heat of summer, dressing up is not only about your image, but also about comfort and confidence. For middle-aged women, how to choose the right clothing, which can not only show their elegant temperament, but also cope with the test of high temperature, is a question worth pondering. Here, I would like to remind the majority of middle-aged and elderly women that they should not dress up in "black and flowers" in summer, which is earthy and tacky, but mothers always love to wear it.
Let's be honest, there is something high-end about dressing up in black, and there is a fashion point about dressing up in fancy clothes, but why do mothers always look bad? The fundamental reason is that little is known about color matching.
In this issue, let's take a look at why it is not recommended for middle-aged women to dress up in black and flowers, and how middle-aged and elderly women should correctly match the color of their clothes in order to achieve the ideal effect in their minds!
First, how important is the color matching of clothing? From the analysis of three aspects, you will understand after reading
1. It is related to whether the personal image is beautiful
What is the first thing that attracts you to whether a person looks good in a crowd? Yes, the answer is the color of the clothing.
The color is well chosen, tender and outstanding. For middle-aged women, the choice of color is especially important, and it can even be said to be the key to determining your personal image, for the following reasons:
<1> The color of clothing is closely related to skin color
The skin tone of Oriental women can be roughly divided into two categories, normal white or warm yellow. But when people reach middle age, most women's complexion will be dull, and at this time, the color choice of clothing is very important. Choosing a color that suits your skin tone can accentuate your complexion and even improve your complexion.
For example, for a well-maintained fair complexion like Wang Fuli, choosing a fresh, bright color can be the icing on the cake to bring out the whiteness and translucency of the skin.
However, a dull skin tone like Song Xiaoying is not suitable for too bright colors to contrast with black, and this kind of warm skin needs a lighter and softer color, such as light pink, beige, etc., to neutralize and absorb dull colors to make the complexion look more vivid and healthy.
<2> The impact of clothing color on the figure cannot be underestimated
In addition, different colors can produce different visual effects, which can affect people's perception of the figure.
For example, for the slightly chubby Wang Fuli, dark colors usually have a shrinking visual effect, such as black and blue, which can visually appear thinner, while light-colored colors have an expanded visual effect, which is suitable for a thin figure like Song Xiaoying, which is visually expanded to highlight the fullness and curves of the figure.
<3> Clothing color can change the visual age
Most importantly, the choice of color can also affect a person's visual age.
For example, the lady in the picture below, the contrast between the left and right sides is not like a person of the same age, the bright tender yellow with white makes her look both fashionable and lively, and the black outfit on the right not only makes her skin darker, but also looks spiritless and old.
In addition to the fact that hue can affect visual age,
The brightness and complexity of the colors will also affect the state you present to a certain extent.
For example, the skirt with high brightness + complex floral design in the picture below, even if such a young model wears it, there is a sense of age that cannot be shaken off, which is abrupt and violated.
2. Convey the atmosphere to others
Beauty is not only pleasing to oneself but also to those around you. A harmonious colour palette can make you stand out from the crowd and give you a pleasant feeling, while an abrupt or incongruous colour combination can make you stand out from the crowd or give you a sense of visual discomfort.
In addition, different colors have different effects on people's psychology and emotions. For example, choosing fresh and lively colors will not only make you look younger and more energetic, but will also make you more intimate and relatable.
For example, the black in the picture below reveals calmness and seriousness, which makes people dare not approach easily, while the black and white on the right is much more lively, and the aura becomes softer and more convenient for socializing.
3. The embodiment of self-taste and aesthetics
Color is one of the most intuitive and eye-catching elements when you present your self-state in the outside world, so a person's clothing color matching can also be called using color to "speak" and express oneself.
A person who knows how to match colors will skillfully choose and match colors according to factors such as occasions, seasons, and personal temperament to create a harmonious and beautiful overall effect. This keen perception and clever use of color can not only make simple clothes glow with new brilliance, but also show one's own aesthetics and taste.
2. Why do you advise mothers to stay away from the following two types of clothing in summer?
1. Don't dress up in "black" in summer, there are too many shortcomings
<1> Absorb heat and appear black
Black is highly heat-absorbent and easy to make the wearer feel hot, which does not meet the needs of cool and comfortable clothing in summer. For people with darker skin tones, wearing black clothing may also make the complexion appear darker and less complexional.
<2> lacks a sense of hierarchy and is monotonous and depressing
At the same time, black has a mature and steady tone, and middle-aged women may wear it to strengthen the signs of age and make you look older than your actual age.
Secondly, the combination of all-body black often looks monotonous and depressing, lacking color changes and clothing layering, making the overall shape look dull and boring, and it is easy to exacerbate the old-fashioned atmosphere.
★★★ Here's how to open a summer black outfit correctly:
(1) Combination of light and dark
So, how to match black with the right color in summer? Try to use a combination of light and dark, and match black with other bright or light colors to break up the monotony. For example, the following picture ↓ This classic black and white combination is both fashionable and high-end:
(2) Improve skin exposure
If you are wearing an all-black dress or suit, it is best to choose a style with a large amount of skin exposure, balance the oppression of black with skin tone, break the continuity of black, and increase the overall sense of breathability and lightness.
Choose from V-necks, shorts or sleeveless styles that expose skin for breathability and sweat for added comfort.
In addition, when choosing a style with a large degree of skin exposure, you should also choose the right style according to your own body characteristics and temperament.
(3) Accessories are lit
Although black is classic and versatile, too much black can look heavy, and it can look too plain without the embellishment of accessories. Adding some bright accessories, such as gold bags, silver accessories, etc., can instantly break the monotony of black, add color contrast and layers to the all-black outfit, and give the overall look a new vitality.
2. "A flower" tests fashion skills and is too difficult to control
<1> It is easy to appear frivolous and flamboyant
Clothes of different colors are really high-end when worn correctly, but for ordinary middle-aged women, it is difficult to control. Our common mothers like to wear floral skirts and floral silk scarves, but because they don't have a good grasp of it, they are too fancy and frivolous, and even reveal rustic and low-level.
<2> It is easy to look old and have no temperament
We mentioned one point earlier, that is, the brightness and complexity of the color will also affect a person's visual age, like the floral skirts worn by some mothers, the saturation is too high, colorful, complex and dense, not only looks old-fashioned, but also lowers the temperament of the body and the outside world's impression of them.
★★★ If you want to wear clothes in different colors, you have to learn to choose:
(1) Low-level suit VS high-grade suit, visual effect comparison
Low-grade decors are often simple in design, with patterns that are either rough or overly complex, lacking an overall aesthetic and giving them a tacky feel. The premium décor is different, with unique and artistic designs that catch the eye without being overbearing.
(2) The characteristics of clothing styles of high-grade colors are as follows
Feature 1: The pattern has a sense of beauty
The aesthetic appeal of the pattern is one of the important characteristics of the high-end décor. These patterns are often well-designed, with smooth lines and proper arrangement, which can create a pleasing visual experience. For example, stripes, florals, polka dots, etc. in the following picture:
Feature 2: The fabric is soft and silky
Clothing in premium colors is usually made of soft and silky fabrics, which are not only comfortable to the touch, but also show a certain gloss, enhance the overall texture of the garment, and make the wearer more confident.
Feature 3: The color is soft and not dazzling
The color combination of high-end decors is usually very harmonious, and the colors are soft and not dazzling, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling. Such a color combination can not only highlight the wearer's temperament, but also complement various occasions, showing an elegant and generous image.
(3) Follow these mothers to wear, you can also easily wear a sense of luxury in the color
Demonstration 1: Combination of traditional and simplified
When choosing a décor, you can pair it with simple pieces to balance the complexity of the overall look.
Demonstration 2: Match solid color items
Solid color items can play a role in setting off and highlighting the color of clothing, making the overall look more coordinated and layered.
Demonstration 3: Exquisite accessories embellishment
The right accessories can enhance the sophistication of an outfit. Choose some simple and sophisticated accessories such as necklaces, earrings or bracelets to emblew, but be careful not to override or exaggerate. In addition, accessories such as hats and handbags can also add a highlight to summer outfits.
3. Summer outfits suitable for Chinese mothers, as long as you master the following points
1. The cut and version of the garment
When it comes to summer outfits, the cut and fit of the garment is especially crucial. The fitted fit accentuates the figure, while the comfortable fit makes it a pleasure to wear. For middle-aged moms, clothing that is well-tailored but not too tight is the best choice.
Avoid choosing materials that are too soft, as they are easy to fit and not easy to show elegance. It is recommended to choose materials such as cotton and linen, chiffon, silk, etc., which are both light and breathable, making them perfect for summer wear.
2. The color should be elegant and soft
In summer, light and pastel colors can bring a sense of coolness, which is more in line with the temperament of middle-aged women. It is recommended to choose clothing in light shades such as light coffee, light pink, beige, etc., which can highlight the feminine femininity without being too ostentatious. At the same time, these colors are also easier to match with other colors to form a harmonious overall effect.
3. The overall collocation should be harmonious and unified
When choosing tops and bottoms, pay attention to the matching of colors and the unity of style. You can choose to match the top and bottom in the same color or similar color, which can not only maintain the overall consistency, but also create a sense of layering. At the same time, be consistent in style and avoid overly complicated mash-ups.
Epilogue:
To sum up, summer outfits suitable for Chinese mothers need to pay attention to the cut and version of the clothing, the choice of color and the harmony of the overall matching. By mastering these points, moms can easily create elegant and comfortable summer outfits. Therefore, I sincerely suggest that middle-aged female friends try to avoid dressing up in "black and flowers" in summer, so as to better show their unique charm and become a beautiful scenery in summer.
