Why do I advise middle-aged and older women to wear less "dark colors"?With the following four comparisons, you will understand.
1. Fair or dull complexion
For most Asian women, the complexion itself is yellowish and dark, and even fewer are able to maintain fair skin in middle age. Therefore, for fair-skinned women, wearing black can highlight the brightness and radiance of the complexionAnd for people with darker skin tones, blending with black will appear dull. Therefore, if you have a yellowish or darker complexion, it is more appropriate to choose clothing in light shades, in addition to white and beige, Morandi is also a good choice.
2. Whether there is a color on the face
As we age, our body functions decline, collagen is lost, and our skin is sagging, hair thinning, and lip color becomes lighter, which can make our faces look lackluster. Choosing a deep black color at this point will make the face even darker. Because black absorbs light, when a black garment is close to the face, it absorbs the light, making the entire face look dark and dull. Therefore, it is best for middle-aged women to choose light colors with reflective effects when choosing clothing to make the facial complexion look more translucent. In addition, you can also use color transitions, such as choosing some bright scarves and hats in winter, which are both warm and stylish.
3. Completely black or partially black
Black is widely praised as a thin color, and many people choose to wear black to hide their fat figure. However, in middle age, wearing black does not have the effect of looking thinner, but will look sloppy and lacking in temperament. Therefore, when choosing a black outfit, pay attention to adding some contrasting colors to it to make the overall outfit look more concise and advanced.
4. Black high-end is still rustic and related to style
Finally, the sense of luxury in black is also related to the style. Different styles of clothing will have different effects on different people. For example, black trousers will accentuate the thickness and lack of straightness of the legs, which will not be compensated for even when paired with other outfits. In contrast, neat and well-groomed pipe pants can make the legs look more slender and slimmer, showing a better aesthetic. Therefore, when choosing black clothing, you should choose a simple and neat style, such as a coat, cigarette pants, suit wide-leg pants, H-version down jacket, etc., so that you can wear a better temperament.
Choose the right color for your skin tone – don't go black, opt for light-colored clothing with a reflective effect, or add contrasting colors to your black outfit.
Choose simple, neat styles and try to avoid overly complicated and loose styles.
In general, middle-aged and elderly women do not necessarily have to completely avoid wearing dark clothing, but they should pay attention to choosing bright clothes that suit them, with suitable styles and accessories, in order to show better temperament and elegance.
