成都马面裙:引领潮流的中国传统服饰
How to lead the trend and become the focus of attention is seemingly the goal pursued by various types of clothing in constant rotation. Among them, the horse-face skirt is one of the traditional Chinese costumes, which appeared in the Song Dynasty, but only gained popularity and became a popular fashion item in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
However, in the past period of time, the horse-face skirt has gradually been forgotten. Until November last year, the horse-face skirt once again attracted people's attention, fascinating both men and women.
It was not until I came to Chengdu that I truly realized the charm of the horse-face skirt. In the streets and alleys, countless people wearing horse-face skirts, its shining brilliance is simply stunning.
Wearing a horse-face skirt: starting from getting familiar with the horse-face skirt
Compared with the Ruqun, the horse-face skirt is easier to match. Its trumpet-shaped design makes it easier to match with a vest or a shirt. The Ruqun, on the other hand, tends to be cumbersome and can easily make people feel awkward.
Both the cheongsam and the horse-face skirt are traditional Chinese costumes, but the horse-face skirt has a more rich and unique style. The two-piece design of the horse-face skirt looks delicate and adds a touch of charm.
Both horse-face skirt and accordion skirt have a long history and are decorated with pleats. However, the pleat design of the horse-face skirt is on the side, and the skirt itself is also flat. In contrast, the horse-face skirt is more antique and three-dimensional, like a fairy from the sky coming to the earth.
The European umbrella skirt has a unique appearance, while the horse-face skirt is mainly solid in color, simple and generous. The horse-face skirt has a variety of patterns, which are more gorgeous and high-end than the umbrella skirt.
How to dress up in a horse-face skirt
A well-fitting waist is key when wearing a horse-face skirt, so remember to measure your waist when buying one. The right waist size can avoid wearing a horse-face skirt that doesn't fit well.
For height, choosing the right length of the horse-face skirt is important. For example, a skirt length of about 99CM is suitable for women with a height of 161CM. This length can cover the feet, but the skirt hem won't touch the ground, improving the overall image and becoming an eye-catching scenery.
The loose skirt of the horse-face skirt can modify the figure and cover bulky legs, giving a visually appealing effect of shaping the body. This dressing style is both beautiful and charming, exuding a sense of agility and elegance.
The print of the horse-faced skirt is mostly based on red, yellow, and blue, usually with embellishments added to the lower part of the hem. The upper part of the hem can be matched with dark patterns. This combination has a collision of colors, a high-end shape, and a more gorgeous appearance.
Horse-faced skirt dressing tips
To avoid the horse-faced skirt looking too formal, it is recommended to pair it with a basic T-shirt. The comfortable wearing feeling of the T-shirt, combined with the anti-aging effect, can reduce the formality of the horse-faced skirt and create a trendy and unique style.
Pairing the horse-faced skirt with a knee-length coat creates a layered look with a short exterior and long interior. The embroidered patterns on the coat and the side slits on the hem can divert attention.
The contrast of the horse-faced skirt can be shown through the width of the lines. The suitable elasticity is both comfortable and smooth, making the outfit more perfect and eye-catching.
To add modernity, you can pair the horse-faced skirt with leather and metal accessories. For example, tie a leather belt around the waist of a suit, or pair a metal pendant necklace with a stand-up collar shirt. These accessories can add modernity and attract people's attention.
To reduce the abruptness of the horse-faced skirt, you can add some commuter items. For example, in summer, you can match it with a handbag, high heels, and a white shirt to create a fashionable and spirited outfit that combines the ancient and the modern.
In Chengdu, a natural stage, the horse-faced skirt always emits a unique charm, making people linger.
