Denim jacket and feminine dress is a beloved combo. Depend on the print of the dress and your choice of accessories, this combination can result in countless outfits with totally different styles. As seen from above on Reese Witherspoon: a semi-sheer chiffon dress, ankle boots and retro-vibe hobo bag channel  your inner Gipsy while a modern black and white dot dress, right-on-trend sling backpack, and saturated heels convey urban off-duty chicness. These looks are casual yet pulled-together, great for any age!

In Chinese: 牛仔外套和印花裙的搭配大家已经都不陌生了，但根据裙子的材质、图案、色调以及不同配饰的选择，这个“公式”其实可以衍生出很多种不同风格的造型，比如Reese Witherspoon的这两身：飘逸的扎染雪纺裙配上牛仔踝靴和复古感的包包，颇有波希米亚风的随性和闲适；经典的黑白及膝裙配上色彩明快的鞋子和大热的流行包款则传达出现代的都市休闲感。这些造型不分年龄，从少女到辣妈都可以尝试，你会把这个组合搭出什么样的版本呢？

Last time, we shared two stylish looks of classic trench coat. Today, let’s talk about another transitional piece–the jacket. Compared to omnipresent leather jackets and blazers, tweed or jacquard jacket can add unique textures, details and colors to our outfits. When paired with youthful or edgy pieces, like the printed shorts and leather pants on today’s featured ladies, it will result an attractive and sophisticated juxtaposition.

Miranda Kerr’s look is what we all can recreate and pull off. The breathable woven fabric and soft palette make this affordable ikat jacket delicate, feminine, and season appropriate. It perfectly polished up the casual, edgy chambray shirt, leather pants and ankle booties combo. A great designer bag and distinguish sunnies elevated the whole look.

Olivia Palermo’s outfit below is more for risk takers. The mix of different prints (stripes, florals and animal print) and styles (sophisticated tweed jacket paired with playful shorts and casual backpack) is busy, so keep them in a relatively simple color scheme, then add neutrals to tone down the loudness.

Trench Coat: Chilly Summer Days Style Rescue (Part I)

stylish trench coat looks; Chic Summer Vacation Style;street style;party outfit; On Sofia Vergara: classic trench coat, blue satchel bag, black platform pump; On Olivia Palermo: camel trench coat, backpack, snakeskin/python ballet flat, orange shirtPhotos: Sofia Vergara & Olivia Palermo; Courtesy of zimbio.com, stylebistro.com.

Memorial Day didn’t bring the ritual welcome of hot summer. The weather is as unexpected as it was this spring. The best piece to withstand the climate while staying chic and seasonal appropriate? The unfailing trench coat!

A high quality trench coat can safeguard us from wind and rain, protect us when temperature drops while ensuring style. Like what my mum used to tell me–“invest in a nice coat, you will look great no matter what you’re wearing underneath.”

As for the colors, black is too heavy for spring/summer, while white requires more effort to maintain. Different shades of khaki are classic yet season-appropriate. Light Khaki or stone like what Sofia Vergara worn (above left) is cool toned, thus accessories in blue, green, pink or purple will go great with it. Camel or sand like what on Olivia Palermo (above right) is warm toned, naturally pieces in warm colors are best to go with it, like orange, yellow, brown or red.

Compared to Sofia Vergara’s classic sexy outfit, Olivia Palermo’s take is more sporty and utilitarian which is just in this season, and based on the Resort 2014 collections, this trend won’t go anywhere next year.

Baseball caps, bomber jackets and wedge sneakers are right in pieces if you want to fully embrace this trend. For most of us, a subtle element like a backpack or a sport inspired heel sandal (love this pair too!) is great to experiment the trend without being over the top.
