This summer, dopamine wear has become popular at an unprecedented rate. Through various eye-catching keywords, the speed of light is out of the circle on social media. The colorful and highly saturated colors have captured many people’s wardrobes.
In this “dopamine waste heat”, the “pink storm” set off by the movie “Barbie” once again swept the fashion circle, and people put on pink fashion to declare their female position.
But just like at the end of the movie, Margot Robbie’s classic Barbie changed into an oatmeal suit and Birkenneth shoes and entered the real world. This summer carnival about pink has finally stepped into reality. The power of women does not have to be defined by any one color.
After the beginning of autumn, this colorful color mania finally calmed down and the quiet senior color returned. For example, UNIQLO : C cooperation series launched by Uniqlo and designer Clare Waight Keller recently.
Although it is difficult to define which colors are more advanced, it has to be said that white, beige, camel, etc., which frequently appear in the still luxury style, undoubtedly give people a “very advanced” impression in both vision and senses. On the one hand, because these natural colors are derived from natural materials such as linen and cashmere, they are soft and skin-friendly but not easy to take care of, and they are very expensive. On the other hand, they are in line with the quiet, elegant and unassuming characteristics of the old money class, representing a stable and eternal classic charm.
This trend has been around since the mid-to-late epidemic, reflected in the return of minimalist styles in the 1990 s, the popularity of old money and the new quiet style. Apart from the various nouns, their underlying logic is very similar: people who experience turmoil desire a stable and leisurely life like the leisure class.
At the same time, some wealthy “upstarts” hope to make a leap in identity by changing their dressing styles.
As a simple example, when sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner wanted to look both restrained and deep, low-key and quiet colors such as white and oatmeal became their first choice.
While classic, these high-grade colors are also very suitable for the coming autumn!
White is recognized as a classic color, at the same time very senior sense.
American photographer Slim Aarons, who is famous for documenting the lifestyle of the upper class, once showed the leisurely daily life of women in the leisure class through the lens: they always wear white when they go on vacation or go to parties.
Although it was born in the 1950 s and 1960 s, it is still applicable in this era.
Elsa Hosk, a designer from supermodel transformation, took Slim Aarons’s works as inspiration to set a quiet and luxurious tone for personal brand HELSA.
Domingo Lauren Santo, an American entrepreneur and socialite, will wear a white dress whether he attends the banquet or his daily work. Alaïa dress covered with flounces is responsible for luxury and elegance. Jil Sander knitted skirt is more simple and casual. It is matched with Khaite thin sandals, which is in line with the aesthetic taste of “old money.
Celebrity second generation Sofia Richie was praised for her outstanding clothes, which also started when she fell in love with white. This white, rice white, cream color… With a variety of luxury holiday scene natural in tune, as if comes with a “high” filter.
01 White
A few months ago, Kylie Jenner also came out of the circle because of the white shape. The white dress and handbag on the body come from Alaïa and The Row respectively, which can be said to be the standard brand for American girls to wear in a quiet and luxurious way.
If you open The Row 2023’s early autumn series, you can see many fashionable white fashions: from suit coats with wide shoulders to concise and elegant tube-top jumpsuits, as well as white shirts and shorts suitable for everyday life, there are many choices.
Also a representative brand of minimalist style, Jil Sander showed beautiful cocoon-shaped coats and detailed dress, just in preparation for the transition between summer and autumn.
What impressed me most was the Ferragamo 2023 autumn/winter advertising blockbuster. With the theme of “New Renaissance”, a series of simple and elegant white items-leisure fashion with precise tailoring, light and graceful pendant dress, fresh and fashionable Hug handbag and special-shaped high-heeled shoes were integrated with the artistic works in the Uffizi Art Museum, presenting the beauty of modern and classical collision.
Beige is one of the representative colors of the upper class.
In a scene in the “Sex and the City” episode, Mr. Big found Carrie before breaking up with his celebrity ex-wife and complained to her that everything in the family was beige. Obviously, beige is one of the favorite colors of “old money.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, beige is a stable and gentle color. Gabrielle Ms. Chanel has a fondness for beige, which she considers “the safest natural shade”.
Hipsters with good taste, such as entrepreneur and socialite Lauren Santo Domingo, also chose beige suit many times to make her look intellectual and charming, and not aggressive.
However, it is not easy to find beige items with high texture. You can look at the British brand Joseph and the French brand Ami. There are many designs with excellent tailoring and modern and bright eyes.
Its “close relative” oat color has been extremely hot in the past two years-with a little more gray tone on top of beige, it looks more low-key.
And low-key, soft, not noisy, this is the basis of old money taste. Sociologist Paul Fussell mentioned in his book “style: social hierarchy and life taste” published in 1983: “the softer or dimmer the color, the better the owner’s grade.”
It often appears at the same time as white and is regarded as an excellent color for “quiet luxury. Kendall Jenner’s look, which fashion editors regard as “the model wardrobe of the new top flow”, is the combination of white and oatmeal.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who is recognized to be able to wear, has imitated the same color matching many times, and is indeed very advanced.
The most worthwhile oatmeal color item in autumn has to be mentioned as a free and easy trench coat. Daniel Lee’s first series in Burberry brought a variety of classic and modern trench coats. The combination of bright yellow check knitwear and casual pants has opened up a new color matching idea for oat color, which is also fashionable.
More powerful proof, from the Italian luxury cashmere brand COLOMBO. The newly launched autumn and winter 2023 blockbuster series takes beige, oat, warm camel and immersive gray as the main colors. These natural colors are combined with carefully selected rare fibers to create a soft and soothing visual impression with simple and modern design, which is quite advanced.
In COLOMBO, you can also experience the so-called “luxury”, not only in the presentation of high-end colors, but also in excellent tailoring and silhouette, such as precious luama velvet, sheep cashmere, small cashmere materials and ingenuity. The warmth, softness and delicacy that the skin and body can truly perceive are the essence of “old money” and “quiet luxury.
02 Beige/Oat
In addition to the above classic colors, “Maillard Wear”, which has recently become popular on social media, also focuses on high-end autumn colors.
First of all, let’s talk about what Maillard wears.
Its English word is “Maillard”, which is often referred to as the “Maillard reaction” in gourmet cooking-the amino acids and sugars in meat caramelize and browning at high temperatures, showing a warm brown that is the main color of “Maillard.
However, this autumn and winter is not a single brown, and Maillard’s dress is not a single color, but a combination of a large area of superimposed brown and a little orange tone.
The most representative is Hermès 2023 autumn and winter series.
The brand uses nearly half of the show to present the standard Maillard color matching techniques: red-brown, caramel-brown, pumpkin… The near-tone combination of different light and shade makes the whole look particularly layered, while the fur and cashmere fabrics fit the theme of autumn and winter, which can produce a warm and warm feeling, just like the delicacies under Maillard’s reaction!
Miu Miu also follows this color game, but uses orange, pumpkin and pink tones with higher brightness, which are interwoven with warm brown to reflect high-level aesthetic taste.
Max Mara combines the iconic camel, brown tone and equestrian sports. The caramel equestrian waist seal is tied to the men’s style suit and the look knitted and folded with wide-leg pants, and is matched with darker leather boots to complete the shape. The quann rhombus pattern derived from the saddle is turned into a chest, mixed with tulle, cashmere and fur, showing luxurious temperament.
Stella McCartney completes a unique “Maillard reaction” by adding orange check to warm brown “.
Continued to the bag and other details, are also “delicious” caramel, chocolate color, quite fashionable.
The popularity of Maillard’s clothes may also be related to people’s emotions at the moment: the desire for a more stable and stable state, and the ability to feel more warmth and upward energy in the cold autumn and winter.
Every trend carnival is closely related to the people of this era. Which of the several high-level autumn colors recommend today is the most exciting to you? I hope you can try it this autumn, and your fashion and mood will be improved.
