What to wear on the upper body? The key is "invisible + comfortable"
Qipao fits the body, especially silk and satin materials, which can easily show traces of underwear. So it is recommended to choose seamless, skin-colored underwear.
If you are wearing a sleeveless or off-shoulder qipao, a strapless tube top is the first choice. If you don't like silicone stickers, you can choose invisible underwear with elastic fixing straps and not easy to slip off.
Modified qipao and cotton and linen styles are relatively loose, and you can choose a bra without steel rings or a light shaping underwear to take into account comfort and natural curves. If it is a qipao for formal occasions or photo shoots, you can also consider a seamless bra designed specifically for qipao, which is more tailored.
Remember one sentence: it should not be visible, but it should be close and not tight.
How to wear the lower body? Preventing exposure is the bottom line
The high slit is a classic design of qipao, but it is also a "risk area". In order to prevent exposure, it is necessary to wear a seamless safety pants.
For daily occasions, a three-quarter length of safety pants is enough; if the qipao skirt is relatively high, you can choose a slightly longer style, which is safe and can avoid friction with the qipao fabric.
If you want to slightly modify the lower abdomen line, you can also choose a high-waisted leggings with a slight abdomen. The shaping effect is gentle and not excessive, making the qipao look more neat.
Whether to wear a bottoming camisole or vest depends on these points
Not all qipaos need a bottoming vest, but it is recommended to add one in the following situations:
The fabric of the qipao is thin or slightly transparent;
The contrast between the underwear and the qipao is obvious;
When the amount of sweat is large, to prevent sticking to the body or sweat stains.
At this time, you can choose a camisole vest of the same color as your skin or qipao. The material is preferably skin-friendly such as ice silk and modal, which is soft and breathable and will not affect the fit of the qipao.
How to avoid stickiness and sweat marks when wearing a qipao in summer?
Many people worry that wearing a qipao in summer is hot and easy to sweat. In fact, as long as the inner wear is appropriate, you can wear it refreshingly and stylishly.
You can apply sweat-absorbing stickers under your armpits, wear a quick-drying bottoming vest, and spray a layer of clothing dehumidification spray on key parts (back and waist) in advance to reduce the stickiness.
In terms of material, it is also recommended to choose a qipao with lining or breathable, rather than a satin style that is completely close to the skin.
Which inner wear is a "minefield"? Don't step on it
Some items are not suitable for qipao no matter how beautiful they are, such as:
Lace lace, thick cup bra: easy to show shape;
Low waist underwear: easy to show when paired with a high slit qipao;
Dark underwear: very obvious when paired with a light-colored qipao;
Over-shaping tights: not breathable and may "block the lines".
Qipao emphasizes the beauty of "just right" lines. Too loose and unspirited, too tight will lose its natural charm.
