Four methods of color matching

(1) The same color matching method, also known as the same color or the same color, that is, the matching between colors of the same color system.Such as red and light red, dark blue and light blue.The effect of this color matching method is more obvious, but attention should be paid to the lightness level of the two colors, otherwise the clothing color will appear flat and monotonous.In addition, you can also use fabrics of the same color and different textures for matching.For example, the coat is made of woolen fabric and the skirt is made of leather. Although the same color is used, the visual effect of the same color matching can be richer due to the different texture of the fabrics.Clothing with the same color presents an elegant and soft effect.

(2) Adjacent color matching method.Colors within 90° on the hue circle are called adjacent colors, such as blue and green, red and orange.The configuration method of adjacent colors is easier to form a harmonious and unified tone, but attention should be paid to the contrast between the purity and lightness of colors.In the configuration of several colors, you should pay attention to the primary and secondary, the strength of the virtual and the real. For example, the shirt is bright green, and the skirt is blue with gray. On the whole, the color will appear vivid and full of changes.Clothes with adjacent color matching methods present a soft and friendly effect.

(3) Contrasting color matching method.Contrasting colors are also called complementary colors, such as red and green, blue and yellow.A few points should be paid attention to in contrasting hue configuration: first, the area ratio between contrasting colors. For the same two contrasting colors, when the contrasting area is 1:1, the contrasting effect is the strongest; but when the contrasting area is 1:10, its The contrast effect will be weakened a lot.The second is the shape, position and gathering and scattering relationship between contrasting colors.In two contrasting colors, when the shape of the contrasting color is changed or the distance between the two parties is widened, the degree of contrast will be enhanced or weakened.Finally, the two contrasting colors should be different in lightness and purity.Generally, the color with a larger area has lower purity and lightness, while the color with a smaller area has higher purity and lightness.For example, the color of the whole set of clothing is black, and the collar or cuffs are matched with white. Gloves, scarves, jewelry, etc. can also be used to form a contrasting relationship. A unified and dynamic visual aesthetic.

(4) Color correlation matching method.Among the several colors that are matched with each other, in order to form a unified and harmonious tone, it is often me in you and you in me.The processing of any color should not be isolated, but should echo with the surrounding colors.In the configuration of clothing colors, the association of colors is also a commonly used collocation method.

The specific processing method can be reflected in the relationship between the color of the inner and outer garments, the relationship between the color of the top and the skirt, the relationship between the image color composition and the relationship between the color of the clothes and accessories, decorations, etc., so that the whole and part of the clothing color, front and back , inside and outside, etc. are matched with each other to form a seamless whole.

Wear quality clothes that are worthy of your luxury
When buying clothes, although the color and style can attract you at the first time, it is only in the "audition" stage. Once you enter the formal screening stage, that is, the "knockout" stage, that is to say, when you are ready to pay for the clothes, This is not the fundamental factor to consider.

What are the fundamental factors?It is a sense of quality.The so-called sense of quality refers to the taste and texture of the clothes, which includes two aspects of fabric and workmanship.

Fabric is the first guarantee of clothing quality

For example, most of the most high-end clothes we see - evening wear and dresses are made of real silk and satin. Why?Because the luxury of this fabric is irreplaceable by other materials.So finding good fabrics is half the battle for your clothes.What is that other half?work.This was not valued by Chinese people in the early years, but now more and more people realize the importance of workmanship.I think this is directly related to the improvement of living standards.Workmanship is actually labor, which is the cost of clothing.We've all heard about the sky-high prices of haute couture, with a piece of clothing costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.Why is it so expensive?Of course, the designer's design leads to a high net worth, but that is the brand, it is a soft cost, and there is another hard cost-handwork.These clothes are all handmade by senior tailors or senior craftsmen. They are exquisite and trivial, and the craftsmanship is voluminous, time-consuming and labor-intensive. The cycle of several months is not uncommon.

Of course, these things are far from our everyday clothes, but the principle is the same.The fabric and workmanship determine the basic quality of clothing. If these two cannot guarantee the quality, the clothing will appear cheap and shabby to wear.

How to choose?There are so many fabrics now, and we are not professional to learn this.In fact, it is not difficult. You must have accumulated a lot of knowledge in this area and are still using it, but you just don’t realize it.No matter the fabric or the workmanship, there are several basic principles. If you find out these few, you will be almost inseparable.

First of all, the fabric is natural and good.Look at the shopping malls, but the price of cotton, linen, silk and wool will immediately rise to a higher level.why?The most important thing is to be comfortable, and besides, the cost is inherently high—it grows from the ground and cuts from animals. After all, it is not as fast as synthesizing in a chemical factory, and natural things are rare and expensive.Among them, cotton is relatively common, and the latter three can be classified as high-end textile fabrics.If the clothes are marked as pure silk and wool fabrics, then generally you can’t go wrong, they are better fabrics (of course, silk and wool are also divided into three or six grades, including count, twist, weave, moisture absorption, color fastness Wait for a lot of professional indicators, that is a more advanced tutorial, let's talk about the basic principles first).Hemp is quite special. It is a high-grade raw material for clothing, and its quality is no less than silk and wool. However, because the processing is difficult and the current technology cannot meet the requirements, the common hemp on the market is discounted. Either it is blended, or it is relatively rough and hard linen, which is quite far from the pure soft linen products (usually linen products) that are really suitable for weaving.So there is a very simple way to judge whether it is pure hemp, that is to look at the price, the price of pure hemp must be expensive, of course, it must be a good thing.

So is chemical fiber useless?of course not.With the advancement of science and technology, chemical fibers are gradually approaching natural fibers in terms of comfort, and can also provide characteristics that natural fibers do not have, or can produce clothing styles that are different from natural fibers, so they are widely used in various clothing materials. It can be said that It is inexpensive.Because there are so many types, it is necessary to carefully select and distinguish them. There are also several basic principles for reference: ①Drapability, generally speaking, it is better to have a heavy "dropping" texture, which is more suitable for trousers. This is the case; ②Stiffness, it is better to hold a handful of fabrics with your hands and then loosen them, so that they can quickly recover without pleats; ③Stretch, for elastic fabrics, it is better to rebound quickly after stretching.All in all, you must first look at the texture of the fabric itself, and don't be confused by fancy styles. The fabric must give people a good texture, otherwise it will immediately fall into a cheap ditch.

Of course, we have also seen that there are many special fibers, because of their superior performance, they have even achieved a status no less than that of natural fibers, and their prices are naturally comparable to natural fibers.For example, Lycra and Modal, which we are familiar with, are synthetic fibers with high elastic properties and the extraction of "tree essence" components to create super comfortable effects, which add flavor and comfort to clothing.Another example is the clothing used for outdoor activities such as mountaineering, which are all made of synthetic fibers. They are lighter, stronger, easy to wash, and quick-drying than natural fibers. They are suitable for resisting harsh environments and are more and more popular.In addition, stockings, which are the favorite of every woman, must be made of chemical fiber, and more and more beautiful patterns have been made.

Workmanship is the label of clothing quality
Once the fabric foundation is laid, the workmanship must be inspected.The so-called fine workmanship only needs one glance, and it can be judged against shoddy workmanship.Slow work produces meticulous work. We often see rough corners and messy needlework on the stalls. This seems to be a large batch of rush work.And good things must have some value, and there can't be too many, so you will never see the traces of "rushing to work".Good workmanship is first of all "rules", which include whether the stitches are even, whether the seams are aligned, and whether the garment pieces are symmetrical (don't underestimate this, it is very useful when you go shopping, because many "foreign orders" in small shops are For defective products, although the fabric is genuine, it may be a mistake, so it should be carefully inspected) to make a rough judgment.Basically, whether it is "well-made" clothes can be seen from these few items.

At a higher level, if it is a fabric with prints or stripes, you can also check whether the flower shape on the left and right sides of the clothes is strictly symmetrical, because this method is a waste of fabric, so it is generally not used by relatively high-end brands. It can also be seen from this point The brand's positioning, if you take the high-end route, you can rest assured that you can choose this brand again in the future.There are also details that are relatively hidden, such as whether the lining of the clothes is exquisite, and whether there is a special wrapping to wrap the seams. If this can be done, it means that the clothes are more particular.In addition, for some casual clothes, you can check whether there are "reinforced ribs" and other designs on the neckline, armpits and other places that often rub The thoughtful design that famous brands often do.If it is a coat, whether there are hidden buttons sewn inside the clothes at the corresponding positions of the outer buttons, so as not to directly form thread ends on the coat.

In short, the more details and the less noticed, the better the skills. If the lining and decoration are impeccable, then the appearance and overallness of the dress will not be a problem.Since the producer has spent so much effort in inconspicuous places, naturally he will not treat the whole work perfunctorily.

Well, the foundation is laid, and the next step is to see the ever-changing changes on the foundation.The fabrics and workmanship we are talking about can basically be classified as "technical" indicators, and there are relatively strict standards; when it comes to the selection of styles and colors, it is more "artistic", which can fully reflect personal personality and aesthetics.

Jewelry can beautify you or uglify you
Jewelry mainly refers to earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, bracelets, etc.

Jewelry is unique in a woman's outfit, and they can make a woman more elegant.

The importance of jewelry is that a small change can make you shine.

In an essay contest of "I and the Chinese Dream" where I was a judge, a little girl once wore a headdress of the "Pop Beauty" brand, two lifelike butterfly hair clips, and a small headband in the shape of a crown. There are also a few small crystal hairpins, which are wonderful!It won unanimous praise from the judges.Also, when summer comes, those chic anklets hang on the naked ankles of fashionable and avant-garde women, echoing the meticulously painted Koudan ten toes, moving with wind and shining, which also makes me admire, admire Armed from head to toe, they meticulously pursue the rigorous attitude of beauty!

Wear jewelry to abandon utilitarianism
One of my children came to me and cried: "My husband is too stingy. I want to buy a gold bracelet, but he doesn't agree with anything. Tell me, what's the use of me marrying him? It's such a small thing. I don’t agree to requests.” My Fa Xiao’er married a wealthy husband, and she already wears four gold rings, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold necklace.I looked at Fa Xiaoer who was wronged and crying, and couldn't help laughing.

I asked her: "Why do you have to wear so many gold jewelry? Besides, why do you have to wear gold? Silver is also jewelry, cheap and beautiful."

Fa Xiaoer glared at me and said, "Can silver jewelry compare with gold jewelry? Gold costs three 400 yuan a gram, and silver only costs more than ten yuan a gram. Wearing gold jewelry is more elegant than wearing silver jewelry!"

I said: "Let me tell you a story. After Napoleon III came to power, he held a grand banquet and invited members of the royal family and nobles to the banquet. There were also some guests of lower status. The noble royals and nobles used the Aluminum cutlery, lower status guests can only use gold and silver cutlery. People who use gold and silver cutlery feel disgraced, and people who use aluminum cutlery feel honored."

When Fa Xiaoer heard this story, his eyes widened, he laughed and said: "These people are really stupid." "No, these people are not stupid. Because at that time, the production of aluminum was very, very low, and it could be used Aluminum tableware is a symbol of status. If you were born in the era of Napoleon III and wore aluminum jewelry all over your body, you would definitely feel extremely elegant.”

Fa Xiaoer touched his gold jewelry, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, whether you have temperament has nothing to do with wearing gold jewelry or silver jewelry?"

I said: "In fact, you have a natural gentle and virtuous temperament, but the gold jewelry all over your body makes you look very tacky. You are like a fresh lily, you have to spray gold powder on the petals, and then use it Wrapped in jeweled paper."

Temperament is an invisible light that emanates from a person. It is gentle but not glaring, elegant but not arrogant. It is invisible to the naked eye, but it can be felt by people.Temperament has nothing to do with what jewelry you wear.If the price of the jewelry you wear can tell a person's temperament, then make the check into jewelry and wear it.Wearing those colorful checks with a face value of hundreds of billions, will it show temperament?
Improper wearing of jewelry is more terrible than nude makeup

Improperly worn jewelry is more terrifying than nude makeup.In different occasions, times and places, you need to wear different jewelry, so as to reflect your personal temperament.Of course, how to wear jewelry is also a science. Today I want to introduce the principles of wearing jewelry. If you grasp these principles, you can match and show your charm when wearing jewelry.
