The fashion trend in the fashion world has also changed from the colorful “dopamine wear” of this summer to the “Maillard style” that has recently taken the internet by storm, becoming a new aesthetic that is highly sought after by fashionistas.
What is “Maillard style”?
The term “Maillard style” is actually a variation of “Maillard reaction”.
In 1912, the French chemist Louis Camille Mélard published a paper describing the reaction between proteins and carbohydrates in food.
It describes the phenomenon of proteins and carbohydrates forming a characteristic caramel or dark brown layer in color as a result of heat during food preparation.
The process of this change is called the “Maillard reaction”.
Inspired by the “Maillard reaction,” Tokio Kogyo uses various shades of brown (tan, reddish brown, or warm yellowish brown) as its primary colors.
By combining these colors with khaki or beige, we have created an exciting seasonal color trend called “Maillard Style”.
“Maillard style” captures the essence of the natural environment of the fall season by adopting deep earth tones that have been around for a long time.
Combined with the texture of heavy fabrics, often used in the fall and winter seasons, the style is layered to convey comfort and warmth.
Jewelry for the “Maillard style”:
The easiest way to create the “Maillard style” is to layer earth-colored pieces in different shades. In order to avoid dullness, you can add brown, red, caramel, khaki, apricot, white etc. As appropriate embellishments. Thereby brightening the entire color palette on the whole, presenting a feeling of warmth, enthusiasm, pleasure and energy.
However, many fashionistas have found that it is difficult to match vibrant colors when wearing fewer layers of clothing when creating the “Maillard style”. Either the overall color tends to be heavy brown, or it tends to be loud red, without the lightness of the “Maillard style”.
This time, you can choose the appropriate jewelry, so that the visual balance is maintained.
Since “Maillard style” clothing is usually made of cotton, linen, wool, tweed and other fabrics with a soft luster and color, you can choose jewelled materials that contrast strongly with them.
The following gemstones are recommended, considering the scenario and frequency of use:
1. Diamond
Brilliant and sparkling diamonds can be used without changing the overall color tone of the garment. Simply by virtue of its brilliant fire, you can instantly brighten the color, creating a stunning “Maillard style temperament”.
2. Pearls
If the character is more introverted and low-key, you can select pearls in white or light champagne color systems, with the method of reducing the overall color saturation, to create a sensible and elegant “Maillard style”.
3. Metal
If you want to create a fashionable “Maillard” style personality, you can wear a large area of gold-colored metal jewelry. With sharp and bright luster, creating a casual and lazy French style.
If you want to be a bit more casual, metal jewelry can be worn in large quantities.For example, large hoop earrings, wide bar rings, gold coin necklaces, thick snake bone chains, etc. If you want to be more sophisticated, you can choose to wear multiple pieces of lightweight jewelry. For example, wear 2-3 rings, stack 2-5 necklaces or multiple gold chain tassel earrings.
While some fashionistas desire to create a “Maillard style,” the workplace environment or skin color is not suitable for large areas of clothing in this color.
Is there any way to have a “light Maillard style” that feels chic without going overboard?
