Question one’s aunt and then understand one’s aunt and finally become an aunt
The stylish aunt in the family who only appears during the New Year is about to go back to work! Before she left, I unearthed her fashion tips! Quick to learn!
Auntie is a reflection of the growth of East Asian girls, embodying all our dreams and fantasies of the ideal female figure. Aunties possess an independent and self-reliant attitude towards life while maintaining a light and unburdensome maternal care. Their fashion sense is just right, not overly eye-catching, exuding both elegance and quality. They are the spiritual fortress in the growth of East Asian girls.
The Auntie style is not confined to a single style or trend; it is a term that represents a group of people or a type of character trait. Auntie is that figure who, though a senior, always has a touch of rebellion, casualness, and a strong sense of freedom. Who wouldn’t love the combination of adult sophistication and childlike innocence? Emotionally, it resonates deeply with many. The Auntie style brings fashion closer and more integrated into everyday life. What to wear can be decided based on the life scenarios that fit the Auntie persona, without being restricted to a fixed style.
The styles of female celebrities interpret the charm of this multifaceted aura from different angles. Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Song Jia, Zhang Jingyi, Sun Qian, and Zhu Zhu have all exemplified the Auntie style, showcasing a blend of strength and softness in their outfits. Zhu Zhu’s fur ensemble is bright and grand. A fur-lined jacket paired with wide-leg jeans is both sharp and relaxed. The bold use of red and black in her everyday outfits makes her stand out as the queen auntie herself.
Zhang Jingyi perfectly embodies the young money vibe, exuding an aura of a wealthy young lady in every outfit, each look filled with the temperament of being well-read and reasonable. The classic trench coat paired with a plaid scarf exudes a sense of calm intelligence and underlying energy.
The runway can also serve as a reference for styling the Auntie look. For instance, brands like Miu Miu, Dior, and Markgong create a fashionable urban woman persona with coats, furs, and suits, while Le Fame’s chic and modern new Chinese-style designs interpret a different Auntie image for us.
1、Master the essence and easily nail the Auntie vibe
The key to a successful Auntie style lies in not being deliberate. The Auntie style itself creates a sense of closeness and everyday life that is slightly quirky, rebellious, yet maturely aware of what one needs. If it’s over-polished, it can become stiff. This aspect can be reflected in makeup and hairstyle, for example, loose hair, a casual headband, or simple braids or twin ponytails are all effective in creating a youthful and relaxed look.
The Auntie style of dressing is not limited in its use of color richness, but the overall color brightness tends to be lower, with a preference for basic earth tones and low-saturation colors, as well as vintage-inspired pieces, to create a sense of experience and depth. After all, compared to a younger sister, an auntie should exude a more mature and composed aura.
Sunglasses, earrings, headbands, scarves, and large bags don’t underestimate these accessories, each one exemplifies the auntie’s sophistication and elegance. The skillful use of detail-oriented accessories is often the secret to how aunties set themselves apart from the ordinary.
2、The universal formula for creating a unique auntie style
When choosing fur, it’s best to opt for a short style. This won’t appear too formal while also leaving more room for creativity with the lower half. Whether it’s jeans or cargo pants, the versatility is maximized, allowing for an effortless and relaxed auntie look.
A high-quality cashmere coat can directly reflect the auntie’s economic status, but to avoid looking too mature, one can use other colors for contrast or to neutralize the look. An elegant and practical outfit paired with bright-colored accessories creates a classic yet vibrant style.
Who didn’t fantasize about being a rich and beautiful young lady from a TV drama when they were young? This time, why not try a little Chanel-style suit! It’s sweet and well-behaved, with a tweed jacket featuring straight shoulder cuts and a tweed weave, making it easy for the sophisticated auntie to pull off. But be mindful of the color and texture of the suit, as it can easily look tacky if not chosen carefully.
With the passage of time, this aura exudes a gentle yet firm beauty. Who wouldn’t want to become that effortlessly stylish and unconventional auntie.
