This season is all about getting sporty. Two key words to keep in mind when rocking the sports trend: 1. ‘Inspired’, which means don’t take the trend too literally, leave your workout clothes inside the gym, shop for pieces that have a sporty touch, like the white sweater with mesh sleeves on Olivia Palermo (above left). 2. ‘Luxurious’. Designers have been taking sport pieces to another level with luxe materials like silk, crepe and cashmere. You can also upgrade yours by pairing them with glamorous counterparts like a sexy Christian Louboutin mesh pump or an eye-catching It bag.

In Chinese:  这一季运动风当道。要穿出潮感而不是像去健身房的路上,只要记住两个关键词:第一,运动元素。你要找的是包含运动元素但不是真正具有功能性的单品,比如在奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)这两个造型里看到的甜美的针织衫加入了运动风格的网状拼接。第二,奢华。这几季设计师们纷纷出招,运用奢华的面料,比如真丝绉绸喀什米尔给把平民化的运动单品注入了奢华感。如果不想投资这么贵的运动单品,你也可以通过搭配来提升奢华感,比如配上性感的高跟鞋炙手可热的品牌手包

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
