From the colorful "dopamine dressing" in the summertime to the recent "Maillard style," a new aesthetic trend featuring exciting color combinations is gaining popularity across social media in China.
The term "Maillard style" is actually a variant of the "Maillard reaction" of aesthetics.In 1912, French chemist Louis Camille Maillard published a paper describing the chemical reaction between proteins and carbohydrate sunder heat in food preparation.This phenomenon, well-known in Western cuisine, can be simply understood by the example where the color of raw steak changes during the gradual process of cooking.Similarly, Maillard-inspired fashion involves creating layers of various shades of brown hues.The basic concept behind the style is to use various shades of brown as the main color palette, whether tan,reddish brown or warm yellow-browns, and combine them with khaki or off-white.
In contrast to the colorful "dopamine dressing" trend popular over the summer, the "Maillard style" employs a set of enduring,deep-toned earth colors, capturing the essence of the lush autumnal surroundings while bringing out a sense of comfort and warmth.
There are three main matching techniques for Maillard style dressing:
- Wear the same color scheme throughout the body. The Maillard outfit, which is paired with different shades of brown, brings a warm feeling visually.
- Using brown colored items made of different materials such as cashmere, silk, leather, suede, etc., to create a layered Maillard outfit that is fashionable and handsome
-
Pairing black and white with brown creates a unique fashion vibe.
