Recently, I often see some photos of the 1980s and 1990s on the online platform, and most of the comments below are praise and love. Open my parents’ closet and maybe I can get a glimpse of the past. If we have to ask why we like the fashion of that era, maybe the classic is enduring is the best answer.
In my opinion, although that era was not as progressive as it is now, from an aesthetic point of view, their expression of fashion is no worse than it is now. After seeing the dazzling clothes now, I seem to prefer the previous items. After all, the clothes at that time were more than design, but now the clothes are more than brains and grandstanding.
Let’s use some comparison charts to see the difference between the fashion after removing the filter and the current fashion.
Wear appreciation in the 1980s and 1990s
Of course, before comparing, we can appreciate the previous fashion styles. If you want to use a word to describe the style of that era, I think it is changeable. What the women in the photos reveal from their clothes is elegance, relaxation, classicality and free and easy …
The 1980s and 1990s were the golden age of fashion, with Hong Kong style, American street style, French elegant style and so on, and the styles of different countries also learned from each other. In China, the most representative traditional dress is cheongsam, whether it is Shanghai-style cheongsam or Beijing-style cheongsam, the buckle on the neckline and the exquisite embroidery on the clothes all reflect the exquisite and slim version, which outlines the charming figure of a woman, elegant and full of charm.
In addition, it also set off a retro trend, represented by the Hong Kong style. The dark color with high saturation is mainly wine red, black and white, dark green and sapphire blue. The style can be hip skirt, polka-dot skirt, suit, etc., with thick hair and gorgeous makeup, which is capable and very amorous. After all,The essence of Hong Kong style lies in the sense of strength. No matter how weak a woman looks, she will also feel full of vitality.
It is also a retro style, wearing a bright pearl necklace, wearing slim bell-bottoms and leather shoes.Base color and silhouette jacketExpressed the urban modern girl style, simple and generous on the whole.
Put on sweaters and cold hats, and American street style can be seen everywhere. What’s even more unexpected is that we now think that the inappropriate spice girl style was also fashionable at that time. A blouse with hot pants and a suspender with a short skirt should never forget a pair of sandals with heels to fully reveal their free and easy temperament.
Second, the advanced products and the invisible fashion
After reading some of the past wear in the above picture, and then comparing the fashionable new styles in the current big brands, it can be said that,In the past, fashion was high-quality, simple and generous, but now fashion is hard to see, such as sweet girl, pure desire for wind and so on.
I don’t know if you have noticed this. Every time we buy clothes, most of us are at a loss. Whether online or offline, although there are many styles, they are also exaggerated and dazzling. Most styles, like modern models, are biased towards fast food, which is difficult to become classics and will not be liked for a long time.
Surprisingly, the fashions of the 1980s and 1990s will never be bored. They add a classical charm to the precipitation of the years, such as jeans and shirts. The combination of the two is also fashionable now.Opening two buttons on the neckline, tying a silk scarf or putting on a knitted shawl as it is now are all details.
From the point of view of single products, modern and fashionable fairy skirts may only be worn when traveling, not everyday.And the material is mostly inferior polyester, which is also a small white skirt, so the simple skirt with suspenders is more versatile.
The same is true in design,Bubble sleeves are actually not suitable for women with big skeletons.As a whole, it is also exaggerated. Therefore, in the past, the skirt with a shoulder line was not decorated with too many exaggerated elements, but it looked textured and modified the figure.
Even many big brands have come up with many incomprehensible styles, such as a pair of shoes that can be found in the trash can, but the price of such shoes is very high. No wonder some people say that fashion does not deceive ordinary people.
Fashion, in addition to the collocation between single items and single items, dressing skills can not be ignored. Their clothes are not too complicated and hard, but they are incredibly fashionable.For example, you don’t have to think about matching when you wear it in sets, and the single items are solid colors with large color blocks.There are few embellishments of fashion elements, and then the hair is made into micro-curls, and there is also a casual high-end.
Color is our first impression of clothes, and it also needs a little skill, otherwise it will appear messy, especially in contrast color matching. Simple items in the 1980s and 1990s are more fashionable with contrasting colors. Like shirts and jeans, the key to color contrast lies in the matching and overlapping.It will be cleaner and more generous if the colorful lining only appears once.
Third, the difference between "clothes wear people" and "people dress"
In fact, the fashions of the 1980s and 1990s are still so charming, which is related to clothes and people.
From the model, most of the online stores are the same red faces.Sharp chin, big eyes, small V-face, etc. lead them to lose the word "personality" in the way clothes are presented. There is also a deformed white and thin aesthetic, and we gradually can’t see the real effect of a dress on ordinary people., this is probably the clothes wear people.
On the contrary, the beauty of the past is recognizable. Their vivid demeanor and rich expressions give a dress a real meaning, which reflects people’s dressing.
Why is there such a difference? From the clothing itself, it is said that clothes were tailored in those days, and clothes were mainly in line with body shape, and the style of clothes was also in line with people, so it would not be too abrupt. Now the pace of life is relatively fast, as long as the size is right,Sometimes, it is easy to gain weight by pursuing a bigger size.
In addition, we can all see the beauty of discernment in the stars. There are peerless beauties who are discerning and can dress, such as Brigitte Lin and Barbara Yung, at home, and there are stars who live fully abroad, such as Yamaguchi Momoe, who not only have full discernment in appearance, but also pursue nature and exquisiteness in aesthetics.
They are still dazzling without a beauty filter, but now the star wear and makeup are a fixed template. Think of kiku, it is retro harbor style, think of Jing Tian, it is rich and beautiful, beauty is beautiful, but it lacks stunning.
Write to the end: fashion is a cycle, but it is not static, and that critical eye is what we should cultivate. QY
