Many women love to wear dresses to showcase their beauty and grace because dresses can make a woman look more gentle and elegant while also concealing some figure flaws.
However, many middle-aged and elderly women may worry that their age and figure are not suitable for wearing dresses, fearing that they may look old-fashioned and bulky, and they don’t know how to choose the right dresses and match them.
In fact, wearing dresses is not the exclusive right of young people. As long as you master some little dressing tips, you can wear an elegant and fashionable style.
Today, let’s learn together some “age-reducing” dressing tips from Shanghai grannies and see how they dress with elegance and grace.
I. Dresses Should Be Below the Knee
After looking at the outfits of Shanghai grannies, it’s found that they basically don’t wear dresses above the knee. Overly short dresses will expose leg flaws, making them look inappropriate and old-fashioned.
Dresses that are just at the knee or slightly below the knee can cover the imperfect parts while showing off the lines and curves of the legs.
You can choose a knee-length dress with a waist-cinching design like the lady in the picture above, where the color of the dress matches the color of the bag and shoes, all in earth tones.
This is a typical color echo, which is also a dressing rule often used by “Shanghai grannies.” In fashion dressing, color echo is a commonly used matching rule.
The basic principle of color echo is to choose colors with similar or related relationships for matching, aiming to create a sense of harmony and unity in the overall outfit, making the wearer present a visually coordinated appearance.
II. Shoes Without Heels
This is because overly high heels will bring pressure and damage to the feet and waist, affecting health and comfort; while overly low heels will appear mediocre and boring, lacking a sense of fashion.
Therefore, Shanghai grannies all like to choose flat shoes or shoes with low heels, which can ensure comfort and safety while increasing height and presence, in line with age characteristics.
Such shoes often adopt flat or low-heel designs and can also be matched with various dresses, pants, and other clothing, showing the grannies’ sensitivity to fashion and unique taste.
In addition, shoes without heels also have a certain sense of fashion and trendy elements. In recent years, flat shoes, flat sandals, and other styles often appear in major fashion shows and fashion magazines, becoming one of the representatives of trends.
Grannies’ attention to fashion also makes them have a certain pursuit of this type of shoe, thus making it a highlight and fashion statement of their outfits.
III. Choose Highly Practical Accessories
After observing some of the daily outfits of Shanghai grannies, it is found that they will choose some highly practical accessories that complement their outfits to embellish their looks.
However, it is not recommended for women to wear overly fancy and cumbersome accessories, as they will appear overly flamboyant and deliberate, not in line with age and temperament.
We can choose some accessories that are both functional and aesthetic, such as small and exquisite watches, elegant hairpins, etc.
IV. Low-Saturation Basics
Finally, we need to clarify a principle: choose low-saturation basics. This is an important principle for Shanghai grannies when choosing clothing and a big trick for them to match outfits.
Why? Because clothing cannot be too fancy or too plain. Overly fancy clothing will appear inappropriate and inelegant, making oneself look improper and unstable.
Basic clothing items will not make you look old-fashioned and dull, and at the same time, they are not easy to go wrong with and are very versatile.
