Lines have a great impact on camouflaging or enhancing our body shape. The effect is most clearly highlighted by high-contrasting stripes. Take this striped dress on Taylor Swift for example: the variegated lines, combined with strategically placed black side panels, result a visually slimming look. 

Accessories, once again, played a big part in their outfits: a demure, sophisticated handbag and cool, retro oxford pumps balanced the sexiness of Taylor Swift’s mini body-con dress, while Olivia Palermo chose a structured colorblock satchel and lux calf-hair print slipper to elevate the casualness of her stripe tee.

In Chinese: 线条对整体着装的影响很大,对比强烈的条纹尤其能说明这一点。拿小天后泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)的这条裙子来说吧:它的条纹从胸线以下变得密集起来,再加上侧边黑色的拼接,视觉上非常显瘦。

除了线条的作用,这两个造型再一次提醒了我们配饰的影响力:泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)优雅的裸色方包学院风的牛津包鞋平衡了她包身迷你短裙的性感;奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)则用有趣又有正式感的撞色手包和波纹马毛鞋提升条纹T恤的休闲感。

In a blink of an eye, we’re approaching the end of summer, which means the sartorial challenge we are facing now is transition dressing. Today’s two outfits from style mavens showed us how to transform summer staples like shorts, clogs and bright accessories into fall with ease. Hint: show a touch of bare skin and stay within a rich, sophisticated palette, like the bordeaux, olive and mustard seen here.

In Chinese: 眨眼的功夫夏天都快要结束了,这也意味了我们在日常着装上面临的挑战要从对抗酷暑转为在夏末秋初的尴尬过渡季如何穿搭了。今天的这两个时尚偶像就示范了如何把夏天的单品,比如短裤、木底拖以及亮色的配饰等穿到秋天。小提示:降低露肤度并选择秋冬常见的优雅色系比如在上面的造型里看到的酒红、芥末黄和橄榄绿等在视觉上给人以温暖的颜色。

We all have bad days. When my legs are swollen, my belly is bloated, I just want to throw on a maxi dress and cover everything. When it comes to color, nothing feels as cool and fresh as white, especially when you are all covered up in the heat. About footwear, This season definitely go with flats. If you still need that extra height without sacrificing comfort, block heel sandal that is!  Today’s two white maxi dress outfits, which is your favorite? How would you style your white maxi?

In Chinese:  我们都有感觉糟糕的时候,每当我起床后觉得浑身肿胀,就想穿一条能从头盖到脚的拖地长裙。包得那么多,想要在炎炎夏日看起来轻盈,清爽的白色是首选。关于鞋子,这几季非常流行摇曳长裙配上平底鞋,但如果你对自己的身高不是那么自信,又想像穿平底鞋一样舒适时,粗跟鞋是个不错的选择,比坡跟多了份都会感,又比细高跟干练。今天的这两个白色及第长裙的搭配你喜欢哪一个?你会怎么搭配你的白色长裙呢?
