First, clear their own conditions is the basis of fashion wear

Self condition includes individual body characteristic and individual color characteristic. Among them, the former determines the adaptation of clothing silhouette and the positioning of clothing style, while the latter has a special significance for the adaptation of clothing color.

1. Personal characteristics determine the fit of clothing silhouette and the positioning of clothing style.

Human body characteristics include external contour lines, internal contour lines, sense of quantity and other factors. In the design of clothing image, the internal and external contour lines of the human body can be classified simply by curving and mixing, and the sense of quantity is in terms of size.

The outline of the human body refers to the body shape. The three key parts that affect the outer contour of the human body are shoulders. Waist and hips, and the width ratio between the three in the front view determines the fit of the garment silhouette. According to the international general human body contour line, alphabetic classification can be summarized into X type, H type, T type, A type and O type five types. Among them, the X type is a nearly perfect body shape, its shoulder width and hip width are close.  And the waist width is less than the two, the body has an obvious S-shaped curve. Waist clothing can best reflect a woman’s curvy beauty.

The other four body types need to adjust clothing according to their advantages and disadvantages. And promote strengths and avoid weaknesses. H-shaped people, shoulder width, hip width and waist width are almost equal. With a straight contour line, no obvious waist curve.

Suitable for curvy tops and high waists. T-shaped people, shoulders wider than hip width, waist, hip curve is not obvious. With a “wide on the bottom narrow” visual impression. Match a top with a reduced shoulder width and a fluffy bottom. A-shaped people, the shoulder width is less than the hip width. Usually have the characteristics of sliding shoulders, with A “narrow upper and wide lower” visual impression.Suitable for enlarged shoulder proportion tops and fitted bottoms.

O-shaped people, the shoulder width is less than or equal to the hip width and waist width. Three full, prominent abdomen, shoulders, waist, hip lines round, belong to the obese body.  Adapt to improve the chest line and high waist line of clothing, the overall direction to the H-shaped body adjustment. The outer contour of the human body can also simply divide into linear (H, T), curved (X, A) and mixed (O and others).

In the identification of body shape, it is very important to have overall awareness. Do not be affected by a local line on the overall body shape judgment. Find the proportional relationship between their own shoulder width, waist width, hip width.  Clear what type of personal body shape, in order to have a target. Choose the appropriate clothing silhouette to modify the imperfections of their body shape. The outline of the face is the inner outline of the human body, as opposed to the shape of the body. Facial contour refers to the shape of the face and the lines of the five features, which determine the positioning of the clothing style. As Chanel once said, “Fashion is fleeting, style is eternal.”

It’s important to know which style suits you. The contour lines in the human body also divide into curves and mixes, and the suitable clothing style must be the corresponding curves and mixes. Straight line people, the face lines are angular, suitable for simple and capable clothing. Wear abstract shape, linear design, simple style of atmospheric jewelry. Curve type people, face lines soft and smooth, suitable for soft and romantic clothing. Wear figurative shape, curve design, elegant and gorgeous style jewelry.

Mixed type people, facial lines both curved and linear features, clothing style can freely adapted. But strictly speaking, everyone’s face shape and facial features from the whole point of view. In fact, tend to be mixed, just how much curve and straight. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the outline of the face as a whole and then locate the clothing style.

Jewelry aesthetics in fashion dress.The sense of quantity refers to the skeleton size, height, weight and presence of the human skeleton. The size of the sense of quantity is presented by the body shape and the five features. To judge the size of body shape, taking the average height of Asian women as an example, those below 160cm belong to the small size of the population. Those around 165cm belong to the medium size of the population, and those above 168cm belong to the large size of the population. Weight is not more than the standard weight of Asian women, but the relationship between the size and weight is relatively small.

The size of the face is the proportion of the size of the face bones ,and features in the entire face area. The face is large, the bone sense is strong. The five senses are three-dimensional and the face is relatively large, which belongs to a large sense and the presence sense is strong. The face is small, the bone sense is weak, the five features are compact and small. And the face is relatively small, which belongs to the small quantity sense and the presence sense is weak.

The sense of medium quantity is between the two, and the sense of existence is moderate. According to the law of formal beauty, the adaptation of human volume sense and clothing quantity sense.The two have a positive relationship, that is, people with a lot of sense should be adapted to a lot of sense of clothing. And people with a small sense should be adapted to a small sense of clothing.

2. Personal color characteristics determine the adaptation of clothing color

Johannes Eaton, a famous Swiss colorist, once said: “No matter how the plastic art develops, color is always the most important element of modeling.” We can see that color is of great significance in human life and artistic creation. Our own skin color, hair color, pupil color, and lip color are all characteristics that we are born with. As a component of clothing, color has a strong expression and attraction. How do contemporary workplace women coordinate their personal color characteristics with the color of clothing?

We can learn from the international color theory of clothing – the four seasons color theory. It was inspired by Johannes Eaton’s “subjective color characteristics” and created by Ms. Carol Jackson in the United States in the 1970s. “Color Four seasons theory” with its scientific, rigorous and practical, since its appearance has a strong vitality. It divides the commonly use colors into cold and warm according to the different tone. And then forms four groups of color groups that form a harmonious relationship.

Since the colors of each group of color groups coincide with the color characteristics of the four seasons of nature.  The four groups of color groups are named after the four seasons. The color group of “spring” and “autumn” is warm color system. The “summer” and “winter” color groups are cool colors. In these four groups of color groups, find out the color group that is coordinated with the cold and warm tendency of personal color characteristics.  Which is the color season type for your clothing.

It should note that the four seasons color theory from the original birthplace of Europe, the United States to Japan, and then to China. After decades of development, has evolved into a more suitable for the Chinese skin color of the “twelve-season color theory”. Advanced stage of fashion experts can further study and practice. In this paper, based on the “four seasons color theory” divided into four types of seasonal people, talk about the adaptation of clothing color.
