How to mix patterns? Olivia Palermo modeled three key strategies: First, keep the patterns in the same scale, like the yellow chain print blouse and black/white wave print skort she worn showed above left; Secondly, tie your patterns together with one or two common colors, as showed above right, Olivia Palermo pulled out the perfect-for-fall burgundy in both patterns, making them blend together harmoniously; Thirdly, tone down the loudness with neutrals, as seen in her first look above, it’s the understated vest, purse and pumps ground the boldness.

In Chinese: 混搭图案有技巧。怎么做到‘乱中有序’呢?和Olivia Palermo学学这三招吧:第一,混搭的两种图案大小相对一致才会有整体感,比如左边的造型中黄色的链条衬衫和黑白的波纹裙;第二,这两种图案最好有一或两个共同色,比如右边的look里,Olivia Palermo用酒红把两件同样抢眼的单品混搭得浑然一体;第三,用一些低调、安静的中性色平衡热闹的图案,比如她的第一个造型里棕灰色的长马甲和相近色的手包、鞋子降低了明度和彩度,使整身look更协调,也更有季节感。

New Year’s Eve: Glitters & Sparkles

New Year's Eve Outfit Ideas, how to wear sequins/metallic, cutout trend, Taylor Swift, Kate Bosworth, party outfits,   On Taylor Swift at 2013 American Music Awards: Julien   Macdonald gold cut out dress, Jimmy Choo strappy sandal,   Tod’s clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.   On Kate Bosworth: Fendi sequin silver dress, Christian Louboutin silver pump, H. Stern  jewleryPhotos: Taylor Swift & Kate Bosworth; Courtesy of instyle.co.uk.

On New Year’s Eve, I always want to wear something glittering & sparkle. Not only do they bring cheerness and joy, but also they bring me the excitement of the unknown, the courage to conquer what lies ahead.

Pair them with the accessories in the same tone to enhance the overall impact. As you can see above,  23 year-old Taylor Swift and 30 year-old Kate Bosworth gave metallics their own spin: one is tough and sexy while the other is demure and graceful. What will you wear?

In Chinese: 每年的跨年派对,我总喜欢穿一些闪亮的东西,比如亮片、金属等,穿起来不但很有节日气氛,而且能带给我对新一年的期盼和兴奋,它们仿佛是我的战袍,穿上它们,就有了勇气面对来年的新挑战。

跨年的时候怎么搭配都不过分,所以配饰、鞋子和手包等也大胆地选择同色系的金属来搭吧!这种“整套”的搭法这一季正流行,就像上面Taylor Swift和Kate Bosworth 所“示范”的一样。而且从她们的搭配也可以看出,金属、亮片也可以很多面哦:20出头的Taylor Swift的装扮酷帅又性感,30+的Kate Bosworth则把亮片穿得优雅乖巧。你跨年打算穿什么呢?
