Crop tops are much more versatile than you thought, you don’t even have to invest in high-waisted bottoms: take a hint from Miranda Kerr, pull out your trusty boyfriend jeans and be-loved track pants, both help tone down its sexyness, eradicate what deters us the most from testing this hot crop top trend. For accessories, an elevated espadrille and timeless satchel add sophistication to a dark palette while a playful printed duffle and on-trend Birkenstock echo the youthful spirit of the white/blue combo seen on Miranda Kerr (above right). When all else fails, you can still wear them like any other tank tops, with this trick demonstrated by another style savvy Olivia Palermo.

In Chinese: 今年大热的超短款上衣其实很好搭,你甚至不需要另外再投资高腰裤,向米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)学学这两招吧:把露脐装配上松垮的男友风牛仔裤或者酷帅的运动裤,中和这种小上衣的性感。配饰的选择上:她的“升级版”草编鞋和经典的大包为休闲感的造型加入了典雅简约的都市风,是对奢华运动的另一种诠释。对于清爽的白色无袖针织衫破洞牛仔裤的组合,她则用豹纹大包和流行又极舒适的博肯鞋来呼应整体年轻和不羁的感觉。当然,如果你还是对露出小蛮腰有所保留,那别忘了试试来自另一个街拍偶像奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这个造型

Denim On Denim

There are many ways to rock the denim-on-denim trend: 1. Mix up the shades. Personally, I prefer wearing darker shade on the top, lighter on the bottom, as it’s more unexpected; 2. Mix up textures, like the patchwork and ripped details seen on Miranda Kerr here; 3. Matchy-matchy. This is the hardest to pull off in my opinion, since the combo may make us look dated. Accessories are key in this case. Miranda Kerr modernized hers with a streamlined roomy tote and right-on-trend mules, finishing off with fresh face and natural hair.

In Chinese: 单宁配单宁正流行。要玩转这个风潮,试试这些不同的搭配方法吧:方法一,把不同水洗色的牛仔单品搭配在一起,我个人喜欢把深色的穿在上面,下身穿浅色。方法二, 运用细节丰富层次感,比如在这两个造型里看到的拼接和破洞等。方法三也是我觉得最难的:同色的牛仔单品的搭配,对于这种很容易显得过时的搭配,配件的选择就很关键了,比如超模米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)选择了简约的大容量手包、最夯的穆勒拖鞋和清新自然的妆发来增加年轻和时尚感。

Easily Transition From Day to Night

spring summer 2014 outfit ideas; how to wear a maxi skirt,

An effortlessly chic day-time outfit that can be easily transformed into a glamorous night-out look simply by taking off the vest. Put a little thought in the morning, you will move with ease and confidence till dusk. The blush colored tote is such an unexpected finishing touch. I think it works because the pink is very subtle and sophisticated, thus almost works as a neutral, the black handle and dove grey side panels also help it blend harmoniously with the rest.

In Chinese: 我最近最喜欢的一个造型,运用了很多巧妙的搭配技巧却看起来随性自如。更重要的是这套造型可以从早穿到晚:晚上约会或晚餐时只要脱掉马甲就可以了。可见早上出门前多花点心思,一整天都可以游刃有余。这个粉色的拼色手包更是意想不到的搭配,放在这个造型里完全成立的原因在于它的粉优雅柔和,几乎可以算做中性色,而且黑色的手提带和侧边的灰色拼接和裙子的颜色也相互呼应。
