Chinese Philosophy of Aesthetics Under the Human Body Type and Clothing Accessories Style Matching Research

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article integrates the yin-yang and five elements doctrine with the idea of harmony, and explores the aesthetic principles of human body type and clothing accessories style matching. Through the literature analysis method, it integrates the Eastern and Western body type classification systems with the traditional Chinese "unity of heaven and man" concept, and proposes that clothing matching should follow three major aesthetic principles of "yin-yang balance", "five elements generation and restriction", and "harmony of three talents". The research shows that different body types correspond to different yin-yang attributes, and visual balance needs to be achieved through the material and lines of accessories; the selection of accessory colors and materials should match the five elements generation concept; the unity of occasion, identity and natural environment of the "heaven, earth and man" determines the style threshold of accessories. Taking the Mianqipao skirt and Nuo ritual clothing as examples, the applicability of the philosophical principles in modern design is verified, providing a theoretical basis for establishing a localized clothing aesthetic system.
