7個時髦又舒適的旅遊穿搭秘訣

Jetsetter, trendsetter. Original Content from Thread PH Photo by Joseph Pearson via Unsplash 度假固然很有趣,但到達目的地途中你有可能會受盡折磨。 無論你去旅行是坐飛機、汽車、巴士、火車還是乘船,都意味著你要在狹小的空間內與陌生人擠擁。雖然這樣非常痛苦,但你可以通過舒適的穿搭來緩解。 你絕不會想一到達目的地時,看起來就像剛起床一樣。 幸運的是,你轉換#OOTDs 時不需要在時尚與功能中作出取捨。 現在就來看看舒適與風格並存的造型秘訣吧! 1. 穿簡單的上下衣 舒適造型的重點是穿可以讓你隨意走動的寬鬆衣服。 這並不代表睡衣 — 看看Alicia Vikander如何搭配飄逸的長袖上衣(解開脖子的幾顆鈕扣令自己更舒適)和寬鬆的牛仔褲,穿出休閒又時髦的造型: 如果你想穿牛仔,可以考慮像Alicia穿的男友風牛仔褲(請將緊身牛仔褲留在行李中),但你也可以嘗試更輕盈的裙褲。 要數最輕盈的單品,肯定非連衣裙莫屬,但要確保不會太緊或太短。 在你坐著時要不斷調整會捲上去的裙子是件痛苦的事,所以穿飄逸的中長裙或長連衣裙是很好的選擇。 至於你為了去沙灘而買的可愛連身短褲,請收起來 — 當你進出狹窄的飛機浴室內或中途站的公共廁所時,連身短褲絕對不方便。 ZALORA BASICS 無領上衣 | ZALORA 無袖印花長裙 | Tokichoi Paperbag Pants With Tie Front 2. 輕薄層次感 Photo by JD Mason via Unsplash 你去的地方可能艷陽高照,但說不定晚上氣溫會驟降或者出入冷氣地方時,要適應溫差可能會相當痛苦,因此請務必攜帶可輕鬆穿脫的外衣。 如果你在熱帶地區度假,輕便的外套或時興的日式外套就足夠了。 如果要去氣溫比較低的地方,不妨考慮一件較厚的外套,再加一條頸巾,如此便萬無一失了。 3. 質地非常重要 另一點要注意的是你的衣服物料。 請盡量穿如棉和亞麻等天然材料製成的衣服,與滌綸這類合成材料完全相反 — 它們非常輕,而且透氣性好,可以令你於旅途中keep到清新舒爽。 4. 擁抱運動休閒風 你可能無法穿著睡衣到機場,但你有其他相似的選擇。 隨著運動休閒風的興起,普遍大眾已經接受了在#OOTD中穿慢跑褲和緊身褲。 在旅途中,充分利用這個趨勢,穿著舒適的衣服四處遊玩吧! 參考Gigi Hadid的造型,讓你的穿搭看起來寬鬆得來帶點有趣的細節,例如大熱的條紋和鮮豔的顏色。 Factorie 拉鍊運外套 | ONLY 間條邊緊身褲 … Continue reading 7個時髦又舒適的旅遊穿搭秘訣

追求外在美錯了嗎?《我的ID是江南美人》道出人工美女的心聲

整過容得罪人了嗎? Original Content from THREAD TW Photo by Roksolana Zasiadko on Unsplash 韓國整容風氣盛行,走在大街上隨處可見包著紗布的女性,即使白紗被鮮血染紅,依然無懼旁人眼光大搖大擺到處行。 很不可思議對吧?但對外貌至上主義的韓國社會而言,如果條件允許,一般韓國人都會不惜一起去改善自己的面貌,尤其活在父權框架下的韓國女性,為了變美更是付出極大的代價。(整容資本、風險、後遺症、疼痛等) 在韓國播畢沒多久的電視劇《我的ID是江南美人》講述一個從小因外在條件不好而被霸凌的女生,為了過上平凡的生活,通過整容改變命運的故事。 這部改編網絡漫畫的韓劇在當地人氣相當高,劇情道出不少韓國人的心聲,因而引起共鳴和認同感。所謂的「江南美人」其實就是指整過容的美女,因江南一帶有鱗次櫛比的整容醫院和診所,因此有「人工美女」之隱喻。 https://www.instagram.com/p/BjUeOg8HEyt/?taken-by=hellopapa11 由於韓國人相當注重外貌,一旦外貌長得不夠精緻,或多或少都會聽到別人對自己外在的批評,導致許多韓國女生衍生自卑感,繼而通過整容手術改頭換面。 女主角正是世俗眼光裡的「人工美女」,但即使換了一張臉,隱藏的黑歷史曝光後,還是遭到冷嘲熱諷。所幸個性善良的她還是遇到了懂得欣賞自己的男主角,也交了許多真心好友,終於擺脫邊緣人的宿命。 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bkyq9OAHA3U/?taken-by=hellopapa11 很喜歡一句話,「長得漂亮是優勢,活得漂亮是本事」。如無法改變基因,或許我們應該改變的是自己對「美」的定義。我們無法符合所有人的審美觀,長得再漂亮也不一定得到全部人的認同,倒不如喜歡原來的樣子,活出真正的自己。 對於整過容的女性,或許我們應以更包容的心去看待她們追求快樂的方式,那關乎一個人的行動自由,而且合法又不會損害他人利益,這時我們憑什麼對她們指指點點,甚至大肆討伐? Photo by Vidal Balielo Jr. from Pexels 當然,這不是在鼓吹整容風氣。要堅信一個人的魅力,不僅出於花容月貌,更多的是待人處事的態度和一顆善良的心。這些日久見人心的事才是能讓人深深被吸引和折服的,就像劇中男主角一樣,喜歡的始終只是女主角的性格而且。 一個人的價值,不在其外貌,自信和自我認同才能走得更遠。願大家都喜歡鏡子裡的自己 ❤ READ MORE: Continue reading 追求外在美錯了嗎?《我的ID是江南美人》道出人工美女的心聲

時尚快遞:1招教你駕馭連身短褲

Translated from Thread SG 首先,大家要知道 jumpsuits 和 rompers 是完全兩個概念。 Jumpsuits 是連身長褲,而rompers 是連身短褲。連身長褲比較百搭、High Fashion而且能夠修飾身形,相對來說出錯機率比較低;但要成功carry連身短褲,則要考驗你的「功力」。 如果你對如何駕馭連身短褲毫無頭緒,請緊記以下原則:若想散發優雅自信和幹練的氣息,入手成人連身短褲時記得選擇有剪裁及質感的款式。 以下是一些小秘訣: 高級優雅就是時尚 Something Borrowed Belted Sleeved Wrap Romper 對於透明單薄質料和長度超短的款式(例如長度只夠遮蓋臀部),請敬而遠之。相反,應選擇質地上乘的布料,如花呢羊毛或牛仔布而製的流線型設計。 搭配鞋時,請避免予人不修邊幅感的人字拖鞋類,轉而選擇靴子或高跟鞋。 ESPRIT 露肩牛仔連身褲 適合自己年齡的設計 MDSCollections Striped Drawstring Ruffle Romper 連身短褲之所以難掌握得好,是因為一個不小心很容易會讓人覺得你裝嫩。要選擇款式比較成熟的連身短褲,除了考慮裙擺之外,還可以選擇有袖的款式。 至於質地方面,具有層次感又有光澤的資料如緞面,是個不錯的選擇。 此外,單色或佈滿印花,如經典條紋,絕對是不敗款,安全又時髦。 細節定成敗 NOBASIC White Bell Sleeve Crochet Romper 要參加華麗又休閒的活動,一件帶有高級感裝飾,如蕾絲或滾邊的連身短褲足以令整體造型精緻十足。配搭一條貼合腰部的腰帶,再加一對繫帶高跟鞋和啞光唇妝,打造休閒華麗感。 Something Borrowed Military Romper 採用有質感和挺實的面料而製的連身短褲非常有型。若含有軍裝元素,如肩章、口袋和腰帶,絕對為整條褲加分。 你對駕馭連身短褲有何想法? 在下面的評論區分享你的心得吧!
