I consider colored jeans as wardrobe essentials. If you haven’t tried yet, classic red and cobalt blue are great options to star your collection. Here, Kate Moss & Alessandra Ambrosio showed us two ways to style a pair of red skinny jeans. One I call it ‘casual weekend look’ is demonstrated by Ambrosio (above right). Another I call ‘the bold look’ is from fashion icon Kate Moss (above right). Her luxurious pajama top, wild fringed western style bag and sleek, timeless Greek sandals blend harmoniously thanks to the clean color palette and sleek, modern silhouette.

In Chinese: 彩色的窄腿裤是时尚衣橱的必备单品。如果你还没有尝试，正红色和宝蓝色是两个最容易上手也最好搭的颜色。超模凯特·摩丝(Kate Moss)和亚历山大·安布罗休(Alessandra Ambrosio)展示了两种不同风格的搭配：后者是大家都熟悉也都可以驾驭的都市休闲风。关于前者… 这种高段位的混搭不知道怎么形容，只能把它称为“王牌搭配”了：时尚偶像凯特·摩丝把持续流行的睡衣潮流和本季正火的西部风以及经典的希腊绑带鞋混搭起来，整体造型前卫、利落，别有风味。这个混搭看起来很和谐的关键在于线条的选择和颜色的组合都很简单。

When a celebrity is spotted wearing a piece from a high-street brand despite all the luxurious options she has, that piece is worth to take note, especially like style savvy Beyoncé. This striped number by Topshop has been seen on several celebrities. I especially love the way Margot Robbie & Beyoncé Knowles worn (above): Instead of adding a pop of color, they chose classic black and white for chic, sophisticated ensembles. Luminous skin and the confidence are their best accessories.

In Chinese: 大明星们通常不缺各大奢侈品牌的赞助，所以每次看到她们选择平价单品，而且极有质感和风格时，我都忍不住收藏，尤其是本身很有时尚品味的明星。上面看到的这两个出街造型里的条纹裙来自高街品牌Topshop, 前后已经有三四位明星都穿过了。我尤其喜欢上面的这两个造型，不加任何的颜色，简单的黑白配上经典优雅的鞋子和包包，自信的态度和好皮肤就是最好的配饰。

Minkpink has a great selection of chic and trendy pieces with wallet friendly price tag and great quality. Last time, we featured a striped crop top with abstracted daisy print, this time the nautical stripes are combined with cute details like a loopy trim. Open knit and back/front scooped neckline make it a perfect piece for summer, worn alone or layered. Here, Alessandra Ambrosio showed us two ways to style it. Cuffed slouchy jeans and distressed denim jumper balanced the sexiness while staying in harmony with the overall casual chic vibe.

In Chinese: 我很喜欢Minkpink这个来自澳洲的品牌，她们家的单品不但时尚新颖，而且价格合理，用料讲究。上次我收录了一件条纹加花朵的短款上衣，这次超模亚历山大·安布罗休(Alessandra Ambrosio)身上的针织背心又让我忍不住下单子了，所幸价格不贵。经典的条纹加上类似蕾丝的收边，和前后的低挖领设计，无论夏天单穿还是春秋层叠搭都很不错。亚历山大·安布罗休的这两个造型里的男友风牛仔裤和单宁连身短裤平衡了上衣的小性感，又呼应了整体轻松和随性的风格。 Models off Duty 2014; how to wear crop tops; summer outfit ideas; Featured: 1.
