In this era of big data, most of the leisure time of young people is mostly occupied by the Internet, and they are keen to pay attention to the latest fashion information and shuttle through the major trend websites. Big data and traffic have also made all kinds of fashion bloggers and collocation bloggers spring up in everyone's field of vision.
Although these bloggers only share ootd online every day, as more and more netizens pay attention, their ability to carry goods is not worse than that of star artists! The "high street wind" and "oversize" of the previous fires were brought into everyone's sight in this way.
This year's wind, the first to bear the brunt of the recent explosion on major platforms - vibe wind! Of course, there are also many outsiders who are blown dizzy by this rush of "wind", what is the vibe wind? If you want to talk about the origin of vibe, it can be traced back to a YouTube clothing blogger and the god of archive circles - ken lijima.
Some people will ask, youtube I know, but what is archive? The Chinese of archive means archives, documents, and when the carrier of archive becomes a trend costume, there is a feeling that the trend costume is put into the file cabinet. The archive is the most iconic presence of a designer or brand in a certain cycle, and many high-profile fashion houses will save these highlight moments and later become innovative pieces.
Unlike ordinary vintage pieces, these archives are only at the entry level at about 10,000 yuan, and the threshold is much higher than that of vintage: a specific number of years + excellent works of a specific designer are equal to "archive".
Like this rap simons 2001fw camouflage jacket, which was sold on the grailed trading site in 2008 for $47,000. Even Kanye didn't succeed in getting his hands on a jacket he could only wear from a clothing collector, but this ken lijima had one!
This is how ken made a name for himself with several god-level offensive items, gained a large number of fans in the circle, and gradually moved towards the status of a god-level player. His wearing style has also been loved and imitated by many domestic trend players, and he has almost single-handedly pushed the vibe style and clean fit to the prevalence.
Ken can be said to be the ancient god of vibe, and his collocation can be called vibe wind.
The biggest feature of vibe wind is that it is too fraudulent! Ken's collocation is actually a very sharp and casual style, usually there is no eye-catching logo on the whole body, the purpose is to coordinate the overall wear, rather than highlighting a certain type of item. But if you look closely, you will find that he wears a 3w Croyce and a 2w jeans... Even the leather shoes that look very basic are prada!! So the vibe wind is quite "stuffy", not the kind of court style or high street wind that makes you feel very exaggerated and handsome at a glance, but you have to look closely to find: Wow! This pants turned out to be tens of thousands!
The expensive niche basic items are indeed the core of the vibe style, but it is precisely because of the basics of these items that the combination of the vibe style has been replaceable and popular.
Comfortable and simple Uniqlo plus a pair of yellowed aj flat replacement, not to mention that you can also learn a ninety percent effect of vibe! The other ten percent should be the most critical point - take pictures without showing your face! In ken's po is often a faceless person. You can cut off your head, cover it with a hat, block it with your hands, in short, you can not show your face, which is the authentic ken lijima vibe style.
Let's get back to the point, what exactly is vibe? The word vibe means "atmosphere" in Chinese, so how should the so-called "atmosphere dressing" be defined? Compared with the high street wind of the previous fire, the most different vibe wind should be its bottom, and the essence is that its pants must be a little flared 👇.
For the specific definition of the Network there are many opinions, although everyone is not completely unified on this, but in addition to the slightly horned pants this one point, everyone agrees that wearing must be "short up and down long".
The "up, short, bottom long" clothing combination can create an excellent body proportion, and the slightly flared wide-leg pants can visually make the legs look thinner and longer. However, this combination is more likely to expose its own defects than the loose-fitting sweatpants and tight jeans of the "high street period", so it is also more important to pay more attention to the body proportion and head-to-body ratio of the wearer. It can be said that it is simple to want to wear a vibe; it is difficult to wear a good vibe!
After the formation of a trend overseas, many tweets of such clothing often appear "that's vibe" comments. "vibe" slowly appeared more in the form of adjectives on trend forums. Many people post with the question "Vibe enough?" " as the title.
More domestic discussion is: what is the "basic product of vibe". For example, some af1 and other white sneakers, varity jackets and vintage tee or various basic solid color sweatshirts and so on.
There is even a collocation formula circulating on the Internet: vibe wind = simple sweatshirt or short jacket + a pair of jeans or cargo pants with a slight horn + a pair of versatile basic sneakers. It can be seen that today's vibe wind is really a fire!
At the same time as the vibe wind is on fire, there are also people who question it. Some netizens said that vibe wind was used to spit on the kind of wear without any highlights, all relying on the figure and face support, the so-called simple and clean without highlights. Originally, 99% of the world's clothing styles have always been a forbidden area for the ages.
On this issue, there are even golden sentences that "we can become friends because we like the same style, but you better not wear the same style as me!" "Bumping shirts is not terrible, who is ugly is embarrassed." "Even if you don't think about who is uglier, no one wants to be like everyone else, right?" However, this kind of "anti-follower" attribute of the dressing style has been imitated by various players to spread rapidly.
The editor believes that what we should do is to look for it, not to imitate it. In fact, I think the essence of vibe lies in a "sense of randomness", but once this casual becomes a blunt pose, the free and casual vibe is also contrary to its essence.
In fact, vibe can be a trend or a life; it can be tens of thousands of archives or dozens or hundreds of zara and Uniqlo. If we follow a set of formulas every day to get dressed, is it us driving clothes or clothes driving us?
Vibe in the Chinese there is another layer of meaning called "relaxed", "casual", so there is no need to deliberately cater to the direction of the wind and choose some uncomfortable collocations, vibe should be a style that makes you feel comfortable, is a kind of clothing close to your own life.
Rather than following the trend, it's more important to find the right style for you. While learning those excellent ideas, you must have your own thinking and wear your own atmosphere. Hopefully, everyone can wear their own vibe.
