Although aesthetics is a very subjective thing, the definition of beauty is based on the masses. The younger generation pursues whiteness, youth and thinness, so much so that many women nowadays always take "looking ageless" as the standard of beauty.
But youth shouldn't be the only measure of beauty. Look at Huang Meiying and Liu Xiaoqing, who are only 2 years apart, wearing the same simple red dress, and their faces look inferior. But in terms of charm, Huang Meiying did not lose at all, but had an extra sense of calmness and dignity that had been precipitated over the years, and she was very elegant.
1. Huang Meiying's beauty is not bound by age
I don't wear senior clothes and I don't dress up
Dressing up is the embodiment of a person's taste and aesthetics, some traditional elderly clothing design is relatively conservative, old, can not fully cater to the aesthetics of this era, so in order to pursue individuality, some older women may use too much force, choose too bright and exaggerated clothing, and appear to have no charm. Huang Meiying is dressing, and she pays attention to not wearing elderly clothes, nor dressing up tenderly.
This may sound a bit foggy, but it's actually more simplyThe color can be beautiful, and the style has to be old.
Bright colors will visually reduce age, and at this time, the style of the clothes should not be too designed, a little more modest. Body proportions still have to be there, but the curves should not be wrapped too obviousOtherwise, it will appear deliberate.
Don't dye black hair
The old grandmother looked good with silver hair, and that was because her hair was gray or completely white. Women who have just entered the state of old age,If the black part of the hair is still obvious, it won't look good if you mix it with some white, which looks too old.
But it is also not recommended for everyone to dye their hair blackThe dyed black is too exaggerated, losing the luster of the hair itself, and the black hair is abrupt.
If you want to dye your hair, try your bestChoose some browns or browns that are close to natural blackThis tone looks gentle and beautiful, lining people's complexion and good complexion, compared with pure black to be natural and harmonious, and the temperament of their own age does not conflict, and it is also fashionable to match clothing.
Of course, hairstyles are also very important.
Hairstyle is part of physical appearance, and it can greatly affect the overall vibe. A proper hairstyle is able to accentuate facial features and make a person look more refreshed. It has an important impact on one's personal appearance and how one feels about oneself, and choosing the right hairstyle for you is also an integral part of dressing.
The older you get, the more your hair falls, the less your hair volume decreases, your head is bare, and no matter how beautiful the color is, it is versatile. Like Huang Meiying, a casual little roll is beautiful and generous.
Second, whether the clothes look good or not, the key is matching
The style of clothing often reflects a person's external image and personal temperament. When choosing clothes, you should choose a style that can highlight the advantages and lack of modification, and the right collocation will make the overall appearance more harmonious and show personal taste.
Matching idea 1: less is more
Over-matching can make the overall look cluttered or overly cumbersome. A simple combination can avoid over-embellishment and make the garment more tasteful and quality. For sisters who are just getting started with dressing, the first principle to remember when dressing is that the design of the clothes is as simple as possible.
PassedCut down on clothing elements and accessories and focus on a few carefully chosen elements, which can improve the overall effect of matching. For example, Huang Meiying's sweater + silk scarf configuration has few elements, but the whole is very plump.
There are many clothes worn in autumn and winter, and the more complicated the layers, the more bloated they look, so the matching of the same color is also one of the good choices to reduce the burden.
BecauseThe color is similar or identicalto make the overall outfit look even moreSimple and straightforward, so the details and design of the clothing or accessories are more likely to be noticed. At the same time, such a combination also helpsCreates a slender visual effect, especially with a monochromatic combination of dark colors to make people look slimmer.
Or a combination of light and dull colors or materialsCreate a great contrast, but don't choose too many colors, just two. The stark contrast will make people have a strong visual impact, and the overall look has bright spotsBecause the level is clear and the sense of three-dimensionality is strong, it will make the overall match more vivid.
At the same time, two-tone layering is also availableHelps to adjust body proportions and contours。For example, the use of chiaroscuro in different parts of a garment can change the visual perception of body shape and make the body more shapely.
Matching idea 2: There is a degree of relaxation
If you want to look good, then you need to dress upKeep a balance and avoid being too flamboyant or too conservative
Many people advocate that older women should wear loose or not tight, and maintain a sense of relaxation, which can make people look more atmospheric. But you know, there is a big problem with aging, the body is not necessarily well maintained, if the body shape is uneven, the sense of relaxation will only become a drag.
Clothes selection, it is best to cut neatly and with a clear sense of line, and the clothing is slightly loose on the figure, butIt is best to have straight shoulders and a clear waist. Huang Meiying's daily clothes usually have a more obvious waistline. But when there is a waist design, the hem should not continue to be closed, otherwise the curve will be too prominent, and it will be less dignified and more charming.
Take the first photo of Liu Xiaoqing and Huang Meiying, in addition to the faces, when you learn the age of the two, everyone will feel when they look at Liu XiaoqingThere is less sense of stability, mainly because the collar of her skirt is designed very fashionably, and the waist is too close to the figure and too prominent to highlight the figure, so that people ignore the temperament.
Take a look at Huang Meiying's suit, the cut perfectly wraps the body, but at the same time leaves room for itThe shoulder line is extended a little so that the whole thing is not too narrow and looks too slender without a center of gravity. After the waistline is contracted, the proportions come out, and the person looks thin and tall, and the temperament is also elegant and generous.
3. Aging gracefully, mentality and posture are equally important
Positive about life
You'll find outPeople who seem comfortable usually have well-managed facial expressionsThere is always a gentle light in his eyes, and there is always a smile on his mouth. Huang Meiying is like this, so when we see her, we will feel very cordial, and we will see her down-and-out generosity.
As the saying goes, a person's mentality can be expressed on the face. When you are in distress for a long time, your face is also bitter, and when you have no sorrow in your heart, your face is also bright.
Of course, every family has a difficult scripture, and no one's life is smooth sailing, and there will always be some troubles. Therefore, it is especially important to have a positive attitude towards life, to be less angry when encountering things, and to focus on solving rather than complaining. Daily boring and boring, less swiping mobile phones, more reading books and newspapers, adjust your mood. When the mind is at peace, at least on the surface, it makes people look prettier.
Maintain good posture
If a person has an ugly face, it is definitely not because he is old. Compared with many old and young people in modern society, the elderly look more energetic, and the young look listless.
When you are hunched over and staggering, it looks like there is absolutely no upright person with temperament.
Huang Meiying attends any occasion, in any position, when everyone sees her, she shows a calm and unhurried posture, walking without hunched over, sitting in a sitting position. He is over 70 years old, and some people believe it when he looks like he is 50 years old. You can see how important posture is.
In general, aging gracefully is not about pursuing external perfection or escaping age, but about accepting one's age, choosing clothes and looks that suit oneself, and showing one's personality and style. You don't have to be tied down by fashion, but keep a neat, decent image.
