If I were to pick one movie (and only one) that represents summer, ask me now or decades from now, my answer will always be "Summer's Tale." This movie is by no means a YouTube vlog-like assembly line of summer elements, although it has everything about summer - the sea, the beach, the wind with the sun, the hot and humid summer nights, the colorful lengths of men and women Different swimsuits... Just like Botticelli didn't choose to let the flowers overflow the whole "Spring", Rohmer's capture of Xia Yi is clearly "hidden" in the fingertips of the young man plucking the guitar strings or just tying them. In the straps that are loose again, or in the wrong syllable of the bow girl, or in the footprints left by the foot on the soft sand, or just a simple kiss... She loves him, he loves her, she loves her, She, he, she, one person's love for another may be scattered in the wind, swept into the sea by the waves, or even spent on the beach between you and me chasing, lovers will spread apart, and "summer" always there...

The peak value of Popo and the beautiful girl "Bao Lian"

ps The order of clothing, I arranged it according to the order in the movie (ie the date), and I did not arrange the repetition and similar styles . ky Do not disturb, civilized surfing ~

sweatshirt MUJI LAB

The male protagonist's clothing has not changed much, and he can count the front and back with one hand. The color of the clothing is basically black, white and gray. Just like himself, he is always just hovering among the three girls. I ruled out (too basic) Uniqlo and some trendy brands (showing money grabbing), and chose the muji lab line. Compared with the basic line, the lab's version and comfort are much better, thin sweaters in late spring It is just right to wear in early summer.

shirtLEMAIRE

On the second day of the restaurant scene, the male protagonist wore a cement blue shirt. Although the blue-green tone, the tone was still gray. He quietly hid himself in the brighter yellow in the environment, while the brightest green behind (plant), it seems to be the same existence as "green light" (a symbol of another Rohmer movie) - the heroine is here~ I chose a round neck shirt from lemaire, and the round neck is one of lemaire's Features, compared to other round necks, the placement of the buttons and the shape of the neckline, it is not so "can't let go".

Shirt MHL, Shorts PRADA, Swimsuit VEGE THREADS

How did Rohmer arrange the colors? The tent with thick blue and white lines in the background and the female hostess washing the swimsuit with white stripes and red bottom on the sand are dense and sparse, and the rest of the blank is left to the sand and the sun, creating an unforgettable sense of harmony. At the same time, she also effortlessly pointed out the girl's position in the relationship between the two. Compared with the male lead's hesitation, she was obviously much more direct and honest. Because I don't swim very well, I chose a brand that was given to me by Amway before. The overall harmony of the "correspondence" in the picture below can also be found in the picture above - white shirt and white linen shirt, black trousers and black printed shorts. I have very few shorts, and there are no printed ones. I found this Prada printed with sunflowers on the Internet according to the key words. If the linen shirt is used, mhl's will always be a choice that can be worn for a few years.

Sling MANGO, skirt VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

The whole set of the male protagonist is in gray tones, and the overall costume of the female protagonist is also darkened for a while. The suspenders are no longer the bright red of a swimsuit but a purplish red, and the skirt is also a purplish ultramarine blue. I searched a lot on the Internet, but I didn't find the exact same color (or most of them are underwear), so I chose the mango, which is very orange and orange, so I didn't choose the basic style for the matching skirt, but chose a special-shaped skirt. Vivienne Westwood, also more blue in color.

Skirt TOPSHOP

At the dance, the heroine wore a red suspender dress, which was also the last time she wore a red-toned dress, as if her relationship with the hero and the plot (the appearance of a new girl) were a turning point. Here at the dance, Rohmer placed the heroine in the middle of light and shadow. With the rotation of her body, not only the light and shadow were exchanged, but the hero on the left and the number two woman in the background on the right also "interacted" with her. For the skirt, I chose a topshop from the 1990s vogue, and the gloss and color are very similar to the one worn by the heroine.

Pants & Jackets MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA, Sling Dress CALVIN KLEIN, Sweater LEMAIRE

The heroine's clothing began to change from red to blue. She wrote her thoughts on her face, but the hero was still "indifferent". Jacket and pants I choose the latter between Levis and mmm, the old feeling is more obvious, followed by fun, mmm has always been the most interesting (interesting) clothes; the suspender skirt must be ck, and the background of the movie is also In the 1990s, ck was the king of suspender skirts in the 1990s. It was simply "what you want, ck has it". A little bit of sexiness will never sacrifice comfort. Every piece is a flowing urban sculpture. I chose lemaire for the sweater, which is better than muji lab.

Hat MHL shirt ZARA

The heroine in this scene has always been light-hearted, with a light gray-blue shirt and a gray-white newsboy cap, the whole person seems to seep into the background. For the hat, I went directly to Amazon to search for a Gatsby hat, the color is very similar; the short-sleeved shirt is from zara (should not be mistaken).

8. July 27

skirt UNIQLO

The heroine has already made a decision on how her relationship with the hero will develop, and she wore a purple cotton dress in this scene. I've been looking for a similar style for a long time, but I found a similar style in Uniqlo in the end.

9. July 28

skirt SHUSHUTONG

In the hillside scene, the background is lush and lush, the heroine's top retains the previous purple color, and the bottom skirt is white with broken flowers. It jumps out easily in the green background, and the "distance" between her and the hero is also revealed. Come out, this is also the final transition of the relationship between the two. I picked the domestic brand shushutong. At first glance, the printing really looks like it was carved out of a mold~

10. July 29

suspender skirt zara

Finally, let's put a skirt of the second female. I have always liked the dense buttons in French movies, but I couldn't find a wide shoulder strap, so I chose a thin suspender with tight buttons~
