How To Be The Center Of Attention: Try Chinese Style

How can we become the life of the party when everyone dresses the same? Fashion at social gatherings can become quite predictable, as everyone wears the latest trend, and it becomes impossible to pick out in a crowd. Personality and originality begin to fade away. One option is to look to the classic Chinese style for inspiration. The Cheongsam is a beautiful dress, and modern adaptations make it easy to create a contemporary look that will make you the center of attention.

The Traditional Cheongsam Is A Classic Symbol Of Chinese Fashion

For a long time now, the cheongsam has been a must-have dress for those who want to exude sophistication and femininity at high-profile events. The beauty of this garment lies in both the traditional patterns and the authentic cut. There are several classic features here. In addition to the high Mandarin collar, there is an asymmetrical fit with ornate fastenings on the overlapping fabric, as well as side slits. This all adds to the feeling of elegance from this modest, bit figure-fitting dress.

Contemporary Cheongsam Lolita Dresses Bring The Look Up To Date

While these classic Chinese-style dresses remain stunning and a beautiful way to honor fashion and culture, they aren't always the best fit right now. The designs can feel overly sophisticated to the point of becoming formal and maybe old-fashioned. You're going to a fun party where you want to turn heads with a bold new look.

That is where the new contemporary designs can help. The modern form takes the best elements of the classic garment but with a modern twist. They can become a little less restrictive and minimalist and allow for extra features and fun patterns. There is also a more layered look with softer fabrics and lace.

Accessorizing Your Cheongsam To Match Your Look

Once you have your Cheongsam dress that is the perfect style and color for you, it is time to take the outfit to another level with accessories and other elements. This will provide that added wow factor that makes you stand out at parties and gives you the extra confidence to rock this look to its full potential.

There are different directions to take here. You may decide to go all-out with the styling and features, and these Lolita outfit choices can help with that. If it feels too much right now, there are also ways to tone things down while remaining stylish and compatible.

This Solitary Crane Cheongsam Dress offers a twist on the style with a more exaggerated asymmetrical cut from the hip, softer sleeves, and additional frills and lace. The strong monochrome pattern is stunning and highlights the finer details well. It all makes it easy to accessorize, as you will see in a moment. There is also a matching long skirt in this pattern for less formal occasions. Again, the focus is on the smoky monochrome pattern and the layers of fabric for a softer look.

1. Vintage Hair

The first step is to think about how you are going to style your hair. An elegant traditional Chinese look will bring greater authenticity to the outfit and help you really capture the mood. A sleek up-do great for those who have the hair and the confidence to pull it off. A fun alternative is to get a cute wig for a complete transformation.

This Fairy Tale Roman Curl Wig is ideal for those with short hair who want to completely reinvent themselves for the night. There is a lot of drama in the combination of the sleek bangs and long loose curls. It comes in different shades and has a tiger's mouth clip.

2. Elegant Heels

Next, you have the shoes. The right pair will help accentuate the sleek figure and sophistication you get when wearing this sort of Chinese-style dress. There are plenty of options out there, and you can go as decorative and as high as you need. Just remember to keep the heels slender and feminine and to match the color to the cheongsam.

These Bowknot Classic Lolita Shoes go just far enough for the design features without getting too ornate and taking anything away from the dress. The shape is perfect for this Chinese style, with the sleek pointed toe and thin heel. There are pretty bows on the back and a small pearl to finish the look.

3. Chinese-style Fan

This is the perfect way to finish off the outfit for those who want the full look. A fan suggests class and style and these decorative pieces are a brilliant way to bring out details and themes. This creates an outfit with intense visual impact to make you the talk of the party.

This Retro Pearl Feather Fan is a brilliant choice for adding glamour and a bit of a gothic vibe. The understated design and use of black feathers mean that it should work with a range of outfits for frequent use. The detailing on the stitching and pearls is beautiful too.

4. Flat Hat

This final piece is for those who aren't sure about having too much of a full-on Chinese look, with the fan, shoes, and hair all crying out for attention at the same time. Wearing a European flat hat provides an alternative contemporary look without compromising on style and elegance. The blending of cultures goes together really well.

This Flower Decoration Flat Hat is the perfect example of how to merge western femininity with Eastern culture. There is an old-fashioned feel that works with the cheongsam and fan with ease. The pretty lace and floral elements also work well with other floral patterns and detract from a more simplistic hairstyle.
