When it comes to the tone of “wasteland”, it is easy to think of khaki. In English, khaki corresponds to the word khaki, and its origin is from Persian (one from Urdu), which translates as “dust”. Is this translation very accurate?
The origin of wasteland style can be traced back to the combat trench coat more than 100 years ago. At that time, in order to facilitate the soldiers to hide in the natural environment, the original trench coats were basically designed in colors close to desert and dust.
Later, the cyberpunk and apocalyptic sci-fi aesthetics in the movie world appeared one after another, and “Wasteland Wind” was like the product of the combination of the two. Its setting background is that when the earth and the world face a crisis of resources and survival, human beings need to deal with the end times and rebuild a new order. And it is this process from destruction to reconstruction that has been introduced by a large number of games and film and television works:
“Vesper”
“Mad Max 4”
These artistic creations often have stories and strong visual impact, so in the past two years, under the blessing of these works, the influence of “Wasteland” has soared a lot——
“Late Autumn” also set off a “windbreaker fever”
In last year’s hit film “Dune”, “Sweet Tea” and the “distilled suit” on Zendaya are standard “wasteland” outfits. Moreover, the clothing of several major families in the film also has a strong sense of technology and industry.
The “high-tech” performance and “low-life” appearance that are necessary in the standard “apocalyptic wear” are all displayed. With such care, it is no wonder that the film won the Oscar for best costume design.
In the current real world, the popularity of wasteland wind energy is more benefited from the environment. Compared with the uncertainty and changes in the larger environment, the psychological feeling brought by the earth color itself is comfortable and comfortable. At a glance, you will feel that it is a color that can make people settle down.

Thanks to the tonality of the earth color itself, even wearing earth color from head to toe can show your generosity and gentleness. You can look through the show collocations in the last two seasons of fashion weeks. Many shows have long given easy-to-learn dressing templates.
Wearing earth tones all over the body is in line with the temperament of Orientals who do not like to be publicized, unassuming, reserved and humble.
There is also a visually similar brown, which can also be worn with earth tones. In contrast, the combination of brown and earthy colors may appear dirty and old-fashioned. It is best for beginners to start with similar colors with a reddish-brown effect.
The surprise in the plain – earth color + saturated bright color
In addition to black and white, the “wasteland style” can also be dazzling but not overly ostentatious. The method is to match a bright color item in the earth tone tone, such as red, yellow, blue and green, to add a low-key look to the look. A little surprise. Don’t worry, denim blue and burgundy are good choices.
The earth color itself is “overwhelming”, and it is not much different from our skin color, so even if you add some highly saturated color items that you usually dare not wear alone, it will not affect the texture of the overall shape.
Now that the “wasteland wind” trend has come with vigour, we might as well embrace it enthusiastically! After all, it is not only necessary for a sense of atmosphere in autumn and winter, but also a “reassuring pill”.
