Brand Appreciation: Michell Macaron

 My introduction to the world of fashion came via the game Style Savvy Styling Star. In this game there were thirteen different styles. These styles are preppy, basic, gothic, feminine, chic, rock, psychedelic, baby doll, girly, lively, boho-chic, eastern, and bold. Among these, my top three preferences are girly, feminine, and bold. Girly fashion exudes a delicate and cute aesthetic, bold fashion embraces animal prints and flashy embellishments for a "baddie" look, while feminine fashion achieves a ladylike balance between dressy and doll-like. When I want to buy girly clothes, I look for old Liz Lisa items or Mellfy Memory pieces. When I want to wear bold clothes, I make my own pieces inspired by the brand d.i.a. Despite loving the feminine style I possess only one item that is considered feminine—a secondhand blue Emiria Wiz dress. Rather than indulging in more purchases, I've opted to express my admiration through an appreciation post dedicated to a feminine brand. 

Michell Macaron is a Japanese fashion brand specializing in otona girly (feminine) attire. I'm captivated by how the brand harmonizes mature and doll-like elements within feminine fashion. A popular Michell Macaron item is their signature skirt. Called the “beautiful leg skirt”, these skirts are short, slightly flared, pleated, and have large waistbands. These skirts are typically made using thick materials like tweed. The fabric choice tones down the doll-like silhouette, which makes the skirts ladylike. 

Michell Macaron usually pairs their skirts with simple feminine tops. They are often decorated with small pearls around the neckline that give the tops a classy touch. The tops are usually one solid color or pattern, which balances out tops with more girly silhouettes, thus retaining their classiness. I am also in love with the brand’s fur knit tops.

Michell Macaron’s dresses often utilize elegant tweed fabrics to create their dresses. Michell Macaron’s tweed dresses are lined with buttons down the middle. These dresses are also slightly cinched at the waist. I love this formula for these dresses because they are classy but casual enough to wear on the day to day. The same can be said for many other dresses from this brand. Many of Michell Macaron’s dresses are form fitting. Form fitting dresses, when done correctly, are perceived as elegant.

Michell Macaron does not ship internationally😭 If you want to support this brand, you will need to use a shipping service, like Buyee.
