There is only one secret to elegance, which, as the Romans would say, is propriety. Where does decency come from? Of course, wear appropriate and comfortable clothing. Even fashion designer Paul Poiret said: “A rich woman does not necessarily dress the most beautiful. True elegance is to wear clothes that suit you.”
In the prime of life, there is no harm in dressing casually. However, once a woman is over 40 years old, if she does not pay attention to whether her clothes are appropriate, she will easily become old-fashioned or aunty, which will seriously damage her self-image. Therefore, when choosing a style, you should pay more attention to whether the clothing is suitable for you. Well, the most common thing in summer is T-shirts. It is recommended that 40-year-old women pay more attention to the collar and color when wearing T-shirts, which will make them look more fashionable and reduce their age.
1. Neckline
⑴Look at the neckline design
The design of the neckline can divert people’s attention. Its design is very important and directly affects the effect of wearing it on the body. Conventional round neck or small neckline, because the area of the neck skin is exposed is less, making it closer to the face, which makes it very picky about the length of the neck and the shape of the face. It is recommended that women with slightly chubby faces, larger faceplates, and less slender necks avoid such neckline designs that expose less skin, and instead choose necklines that expose more skin and are decorative, such as: V-neck, square collar, and heart-shaped neckline. Shape collar.
Let’s analyze these two styles with different neckline designs in detail: The picture on the left adopts a regular round neck and a small neckline. The overall visual direction of the design is upward, revealing only a little bit of the skin of the neck. For women with slender necks, superior jaw lines, and thin faces, wearing a T-shirt with a conventional neckline does not put any pressure on the body, and may even highlight the beauty of the neck and face.
However, for women with thick and short necks and fat faces, they directly step into the “dressing minefield”, unable to show any beauty, and will also The shortcomings are fully exposed. It is recommended that women with this kind of problem choose oval collars, V-necks and other necklines that expose a lot of skin and are modified, just like the large round neck T-shirt in the picture on the right, which can quietly modify and improve the shortcomings of the neck and face shape.
⑵Look at the neckline size
The neckline size of the T-shirt, It is also a key point to pay attention to when choosing a model. For women with thick and short necks, it is recommended that the neckline be no higher than the starting point of the clavicle to increase the sense of visual extension and make the overall proportions look more coordinated and breathable. Women with thin and long necks have inherent advantages and can choose the size of their neckline at will.
When choosing the collar size of a T-shirt, focus on your own collarbone, with the two-piece collarbone in the center The intersection is dominated by the prominent clavicle in this area. The position of the neckline is below the collarbone, which can increase the exposed area of the skin, leaving visual white space and expanding the space. It can not only create breathability, but also avoid the neckline being too small and too close to the face, shortening the neck, and causing the entire person’s neck to become swollen. The contraction is like leaning forward, but it is also a bit dull and not light enough.
The difference between the left picture and the right picture is that one is above the collarbone and close to the face, while the other is below the collarbone and away from the face. The difference between who wins and who loses is clear at a glance. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a T-shirt style with a slightly larger neckline like the picture on the right.
⑶Look at the width of the neckline
The same person, wearing T-shirts with wide necklines, such as the one-word neckline in the picture on the left, have a slightly wider neckline that makes them appear fatter. Because it widens the sides of the body laterally, causing the body to expand outwards, it will naturally look fatter and stronger visually.
It is recommended that the width of the neckline starts from the turning point of the neck and shoulders. For example: the round neck in the picture on the right has a slightly narrow neckline that looks slimming. Because it is an inward-shrinking design, it can not only show the three-dimensional straightness of the shoulders, but also weaken the shortcomings of the upper body, and the effect will look much better.
Additional knowledge point: Whether it is a round neck or a V-neck, hemming is very important. It is recommended to choose a T-shirt with a spiral neck design, which can effectively strengthen the collar, prevent deformation, and extend the life of the T-shirt. T-shirts without a spiral design are prone to looseness and deformation, forming a “sea tie” and looseness.The T-shirt is so sloppy that it will be scrapped directly.
2. Color
⑴ Check whether the color matches the skin
T-shirts expose more skin, which allows more of your skin to participate in the overall look. At this time, if the color of the T-shirt does not blend and match your skin tone, it will lower your image and expose problems such as dark or yellow skin tone. Therefore, when choosing a T-shirt, it depends on whether its color is skin-friendly and matches. You can start from two aspects: 1. Understand your own skin color, 2. Make targeted choices based on skin color.
The skin color is simply divided into: cold white skin, yellow and black skin. Cold white skin has natural advantages and does not conflict with any color combination. It can easily show the effect of fair and delicate skin. But for a 40-year-old woman with yellowish-black skin, the suitable color is limited. If you choose incorrectly, your skin color will be exposed as yellow and black.
For a 40-year-old woman with yellow and black skin, her skin color tends to be warm. If you choose a warm-toned T-shirt, you will easily get a “positive plus negative” situation, which will expose skin color problems. It is recommended to adhere to the rules of matching and contrast and use cool-toned T-shirts to neutralize the warmth of yellow and black skin. You can choose black, blue, green, etc. to achieve the effect of modifying the skin tone.
⑵ Check whether the color modifies the body shape
Once a woman passes After the age of 40, many people are faced with the situation of fat and out of shape. Although most of the fat in women is concentrated in the hips and crotches, there are also many women with fat in the waist, abdomen and upper arms. At this time, you need to see whether the color of the T-shirt has the effect of modifying the body shape.
The light color is refreshing and elegant, with an age-reducing atmosphere, and its usage rate remains high in summer. But it is the light color that gives it a certain sense of visual expansion. When two T-shirts are of the same silhouette, it is recommended that a 40-year-old woman with a slightly chubby figure and fat on her waist and abdomen choose a darker color. Because the dark color is mysterious and deep, it can visually shrink the sense of déjà vu, making the whole person look more delicate and slimmer.
That’s it for this article about paying more attention to the neckline and color when choosing a T-shirt. I hope it can bring you some dressing inspiration.
