Since the “old money style” dress style became popular, it seems that any single item or style can get more attention than ever before as long as it touches it.
In addition to a series of styles related to outdoor wear, such as Gorpcore and Clean Fit, which are familiar to everyone, the new Chinese style of wear, which used to be considered difficult to mix with other elements, seems to have the taste of approaching the “old money” style. Who can forget Shu Qi’s aura of “killing all sides” at the Venice Film Festival?
For example, Ni Ni, whose private clothes have been widely praised, and the simple and exquisite new Chinese style collocation directly bring the same coat to the point of being out of stock. It seems that everyone’s enthusiasm for the new Chinese dress is indeed getting higher and higher.
Yang Mi, who has always worn “top students”, has recently worn four sets of new Chinese-style private clothes in a row. From coats, jackets to overskirts, it can be said that he has understood the essence of this style. I have to say, from private to meeting, the new Chinese style can still hold the scene.
In addition to real stars, Shanghai Disney’s “top flow group” has also changed into a new Chinese style. Compared with western-style princess dresses, do you think it is more special to change into the new Chinese-style dresses of Lina Belle and Mickey Minnie?
After gaining more attention, today’s new Chinese style has begun a non-stop “inner volume” road. Every season, we will promote the design and try to integrate different new style elements to further improve our wearability. Zhao Liying’s demonstration of the new Chinese style gives the impression that it is easy to make four or two thousand pounds, and the temperament can follow suit.
So, from what aspects do we find that the new Chinese style is becoming more and more “old money” style? I don’t know if you have observed the new details that are changing under the new Chinese style.
# No longer pursue bright color matching
The dopamine craze in midsummer begins to cool down as the heat goes away, and more and more early autumn outfits are slowly “fading”: the saturation and lightness of colors are gradually decreasing, as is the case with the new Chinese style. Therefore, from the visual point of view, such Chinese style wear becomes more gentle and delicate, with a sense of moistening and silent immersion.
For orientals who have always preferred to be introverted and low-key, the plain color close to Morandi color system will be more friendly than the highly saturated color, and there is no need to mix neutral colors such as black and white to reconcile. And most of the new Chinese style will use fragrant cloud yarn, brocade and other fabrics, dark embroidery with glossy plain color is more suitable for fabrics to play their own characteristics.
# Design more commuting style
In addition to the intuitive change in color, the recent popular new Chinese style has an important feature-more life-oriented. This can be explained from several sets of models of Mini Yang in the above article: the shirt is changed into a plate button and added with some Chinese embroidery, which still retains the extremely high practicability of the shirt itself, and also absorbs the design features of the new Chinese style, thus killing more than one stone.
01 When the new Chinese style becomes more “old money”, will you love it?
Xia Zi Chen’s autumn/winter 2023 series released by the brand has made the new Chinese style commuter. The combination of suit, dress and suit shirts has greatly improved their practical wear.
Prada’s new Chinese suit many years ago also triggered a wave of large-scale bump shirts. Looking back now, this suit also grasps the essence of old money’s commuting-enough for daily and low-key, but it will reflect its own taste in the details.
Perhaps many people’s impression of the new Chinese dress is stuck in the improved version of the cheongsam dress. This skirt is really beautiful, but if you look at it from the daily wear occasions, it still seems to be a bad tone. It is the reason why the new Chinese style is as popular as the old money style.
# The version is mainly loose and easy to wear.
The previous cheongsam skirt, which was basically equated with the new Chinese style, was known for its iconic slim fit. And this season, as the new Chinese style becomes more routine, designers are making their items more and more relaxed and comfortable.
Especially in the sleeves, waist line and other parts that originally paid more attention to the inside, they are now gradually designed to be more straight. In this case, then we don’t need to have any anxiety or harsh eyes on our body, how to wear will be comfortable.
When the new Chinese style becomes more everyday and practical, it also accelerates our desire for this new style. Compared with the traditional cheongsam skirt, the new Chinese style dress seems to be able to adapt to more occasions.
# Satin overskirt/dress
New Chinese and satin seems to have been inextricably linked. The blend of intellectual and noble can always attract the attention of others in a short time. In so many new Chinese-style items, satin skirts are particularly concerned. You can see how popular it is when Ni Ni and Yang Mi are wearing it.
For the excellent knowledge of the Oriental beauty, even European and American girls are difficult to refuse. A cheongsam skirt does not need to be too close to the skin, as long as the waist line is outlined, it is enough to wear it everyday.
In the usual environment, the use of skirt scenes will be more than dress. There is no need to worry too much about the matching of the upper body. Looking at the demonstration of the stars, we can find that they just went out in a more casual loose coat. The Chinese skirt itself can catch the eye, so the jacket doesn’t have to spend more time thinking about it.
# Embroidered Chinese shirt
With the “old money wind” combined with the new Chinese style more and more attention, the new Chinese jacquard satin shirt is also on fire. The style of this piece is very distinctive: most of the fabrics are printed with Chinese jacquard, and some oriental designs such as plate buttons, partial placket and collar will be added. Lower body collocation need not think much, a pair of jeans can cope.
Just imagine, if Yang Mi only used the simplest white shirt for the meeting, then for ordinary people, it is easy to dress themselves too much as “veteran cadres” in daily life “.
# Embroidered Chinese coat
When the weather is cooler, a coat that is more useful than a shirt should be “out. Compared with other popular coats this fall, such as retro American leather coats and baseball jackets, Chinese-style coats are not common, but once worn on the upper body, the quiet and elegant temperament can attract the attention of others in the first place.
The essence of the design of the Chinese jacket is actually very close to that of the shirt. It is decorated through detailed elements such as buckle and dark embroidery, and at the same time it can also highlight the outstanding temperament of the person wearing it. Therefore, if boys find one that suits them, they can also perform the new Chinese style of old money.
You can also choose a more low-key linen texture, which is less difficult to control than satin, which is very suitable for interpreting the “intellectual” temperament of oriental intellectuals.
Or as a transition, a new Chinese vest is also a good choice. Relatively speaking, waistcoats are more suitable for folding, and it will be much simpler to wear after adding some daily items.
Looking at the increasingly high-quality “old money style” new Chinese style, will you apply it more to the ideas of daily life?
