Speaking of the American drama The Great Ms. Mercer, you must know it. And whether you have seen it or not, you must have heard about the fact that Mrs. Mercer always keeps a delicate state in the play.
In the play, she never takes off her makeup before her husband falls asleep. Every morning, she draws a delicate makeup before her husband wakes up. In terms of wearing, she is also very particular about not only matching different clothes on different occasions, but also choosing brooches to embellish the overall wearing in many cases.
If I hadn't seen her application, I always thought that brooches were exclusive to my old aunt. After all, I have only seen mothers wearing this kind of brooch, but when I grew up, I realized that the brooch was still the favorite of the nobility.
Why do you say that? You will understand when I tell a few stories.
Story 1: Queen Eugenie
Queen Eugenie of Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte can be regarded as one of the initiators of the brooch trend, and it is she who carried forward this ancient jewelry form. Her collection of brooches has reached more than 2, pieces, the most famous of which is the' Queen's brooch', which is set with 141 carats of diamonds.
Story 2: Madeleine Albright
She is the first female secretary of state in American history. "If you want to know how I feel now, just look at my matching brooch." This is her classic saying. She used brooches to express her emotions and negotiating intentions, and was dubbed as "brooch diplomacy". She collected hundreds of brooches, each of which was given a different meaning and became her diplomatic tool.
Story 3: Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn and Parker became attached to the movie Roman Holiday. In April, 23, Pike came all the way with crutches at the age of 87 because of a brooch that Pike gave Hepburn when he married Pike's friend Meyer in Switzerland, even though it was auctioned at Sotheby's. Hepburn wore this brooch for 4 years and never took it off until the last moment of her death in 1993. Parker is going to put this brooch on his chest for the last time. Perhaps, this is a feeling that transcends friendship and love. Like that butterfly brooch, it seems unpretentious, but it is of great significance.
after reading the famous legends about these brooches, do you think the brooch is really a luxurious and noble object? In fact, the brooch is no longer the exclusive product of the royal family. Broaches of various materials and styles have already emerged. So how should we choose? The dry goods link is coming.
one: choose the style according to the face
With the constant change of aesthetic concept, brooches have evolved into various styles. In shape, except for diamond ring, animal and flower styles, they can also be divided into ring, straight line, arc fan and so on according to the curvature of lines. When choosing, if we choose reasonably according to our face shape, we can achieve the effect of modifying our face shape.
1. Round face
Suggestion: linear style
Girls with round faces generally show round faces. On the one hand, a round face will make you look petite and lovely, but at the same time, it will make your face look chubby, and if you are not careful, you will have trouble looking big.
When choosing brooches for this kind of face, we can try to choose straight brooches with strong sense of lines. As long as the elements with straight lines in the style elements are used in visual harmony, they can help us achieve a visual buffer. The straightness of lines helps to visually adjust the shape of our faces.
2. Square face
Suggestion: Round and ring styles
Square face has a large vertical drop, a small horizontal spacing and a wide forehead. Visually, it is easy to produce a sense of squareness.
it is easy to give people a sense of shock because they are too stiff. Therefore, in the choice of styles, we can choose circular and circular styles with obvious radians to form a certain fit with our face shape, so as to achieve visual harmony, which can present a coordinated effect between face shape and presentation effect, and help us adjust the overly square presentation feeling visually.
3. oval face
suggestion: curved and fan-shaped style
oval face can be said to be the most perfect face, with prominent chin and full risorius, which can also be called oval face.
In fact, when choosing styles, we can boldly choose any styles and types, but in order to show the advantages of our face more prominently, we can choose styles with a strong sense of modeling, such as arc and fan, which have a slight three-dimensional effect to contrast with our face. The aesthetic feeling presented in this way will be more prominent.
two: choose materials according to the fabric of clothes
We need to choose brooches of different materials to match in order to consider the fit of fabrics. For example, if we choose to wear soft clothes such as sweaters and silk, can we choose a flower-shaped brooch made of plastic to match? Therefore, we must be reasonable in the choice of materials in order to maximize the aesthetic feeling.
1. Choose high-grade materials for soft fabrics
The so-called high-grade materials generally refer to the types of materials with diamond, jewelry or Pei Cui enamel and other jewelry accessories besides the metal backing. This kind of style will have a very noble feeling in visual presentation, and it is easy to highlight the inner charm of women when wearing it. Therefore, in order not to destroy the texture of the fabric itself, we can choose this brooch style with higher quality to match it.
it can not only maintain the texture of the fabric itself, but also make the finishing touch on the overall collocation.
2. Choose metal materials for stiff fabrics
The common stiff fabrics are suit fabrics and denim canvas fabrics, etc. The visual sense of these fabrics is very stiff, and the exquisite advanced materials can't set off the stiffness of the fabrics when wearing brooches, but the brooch texture made of metal can solve this problem well. Whether it is yellow or white, the metal texture will easily give people a sense of straightness without destroying the original properties of the fabrics.
3: Choose the wearing position according to the occasion
From the traditional concept that brooches can only be worn on the left side of the chest to the liberal development of dressing today. The location choice of brooch has become very free, but considering the specific nature of different occasions, we still need to choose the location of brooch reasonably to show our personality.
1. Business formal occasions are worn on the chest
There are always many formal occasions in life, and we must attend them ceremoniously at this time. In order to prevent mistakes and look more solemn, we still have to follow the traditional principles in choosing the location of the brooch, but we still have some freedom in choosing the specific location of the chest.
For example, if your hair is off-center and on the right side, we don't have to wear the left side when wearing a brooch. We can wear it on the right side in accordance with our hair style. Also, in the arrangement of the upper and lower positions of the chest, we can make specific choices according to our height characteristics. If we want to get higher, we should lean on the next point. Of course, if we don't want to be so prominent, we should lean on the next point. These are all small details that we can master ourselves.
2. You don't have to wear a brooch on your chest for everyday informal occasions. In daily life, you can wear a brooch on the cuff, in the middle of your clothes, on your shoulders and even on your hair if you don't want to be too dead. The choice of these parts can make your whole temperament more agile and lively, and we can also choose the method of superposition to increase visibility and aesthetics, as long as you like.
When we choose the style of brooch and understand the precautions, do you know what kind of clothes can be used to wear brooches? Dry goods and then look down!
one: a brooch with a suit
a suit with a brooch is not only full of aura, but also adds a sense of exquisiteness outside the aura. No matter what the texture of the suit is, it can be matched with brooches, and the choice of styles is also varied as long as it is consistent with the overall temperament of our clothes. In the choice of position, we can choose the position of the chest or the position of the pocket to prevent the positive feeling, and choosing a slightly lower position can also create a lively temperament to synthesize our overall tonality.
or it is also very suitable to choose the open position of the suit, which is neither high-profile nor exquisite. In terms of style, you can simply choose the version of the suit, and you can choose exquisite models, seal models, animal models and flower models. However, we must remember not to collide with the original clothing elements of our suits. Once there is a deviation, the aesthetic feeling will be reduced. It's important to keep coordination!
two: brooch with skirt
if you think your skirt is too monotonous, then I suggest you stop trying to increase the overall sense of collocation just by one earring and one bag. The matching of a brooch can also achieve this effect and will make you more outstanding. We can choose the position as freely as possible. If you choose a half-length dress, in order not to affect the overall figure proportion, I still choose the position on the upper body to keep the effect of height increase conservatively.
if you choose a half-length skirt, there are many ways to play. The middle of the waist and the boundary of clothes are good choices, which can not only make the overall collocation better, but also create a bright spot for the whole body to wear. If your skirt has a backless design, you can also choose the back position.
if you choose a full-length dress to match, you can not only choose the center, but also the lower choice will be very picky. But pay attention to the color of the brooch must be better than the color of the skirt to better show our matching characteristics, otherwise you can imagine who will notice your brooch if you choose similar colors for matching. Therefore, in terms of color, we should try our best to choose a color that has a large contrast and can highlight the contrast.
three: brooch matching accessories
besides clothes, brooches can also be used as accessories to match headscarves, scarves, hair clips, bags and necklaces. Don't be amazed. I guarantee that this combination can produce different exquisite effects, and this method is very suitable for when your overall wear is already very hierarchical and you don't need to embellish it with a brooch.
choosing this method will not only destroy the overall style of wearing, but also create a meticulous pen in the details. Let you be exquisite from head to toe, and never let go of any corner of your body.
so do you want to be a delicate girl like Mrs. mercer? Then you must put in a brooch, which will definitely add points to your temperament. Finally, I will send Mrs. Mercer's clothes again, hoping that you can also become a confident, beautiful and exquisite new modern woman!
