Spring/Summer Outfits 2014 Photos: Cheryl Cole & Taylor Swift; Courtesy of Xposure Photos, Startraks Photo.

Wearing head to toe white can make us look washed out. Cheryl Cole varied textures (from sheer to lace) and hues (from cream to nude) while Taylor Swift opted for soft pastels (from buttercup yellow to polignac pink). The bright blue sunglasses and scarlet lips add a pop of color to their outfits, respectively.

In Chinese: 春夏穿白色显得很清爽。但从头到脚一身纯白，不但难驾驭，而且穿不好会显气色很差。谢丽尔·科尔(Cheryl Cole) 和小天后泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)的这两个造型教会了我们怎么穿浅色：谢丽尔·科尔(Cheryl Cole) 选择了不同的面料（从丝、雪纺混搭的透视上衣到蕾丝运动裤）以及不同的色调（有纯白、米白和裸肤色等）带来层次感。泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)则用从米黄到浅紫等淡淡的马卡龙色打造复古优雅的乖乖女造型。蓝色的眩光太阳镜和亮红的唇彩给整体的浅色造型注入了活力。

Oh, the infinite joys of black and white! Peplum, wrap effect, drape design, leather, silk, satin, twill…so many interesting details and materials have been used to constantly reinterpret this classic combo, we haven’t counted the endless ways to accessorize it!

Here, Sophia Bush & Kim Kardashian modeled two different body types rocking this palette: Sophia Bush’s slightly boxy cut peplum top hides tummy bulge while skinny leather pants highlight lean legs, this outfit is great for an apple shape body.

Kim Kardashian’s ‘smart’ pants conceal her wide hips and make her legs look long and lean, thanks to the draped faith connexion, angled cuffs and flowy charmeuse material! The wrap effect blouse draws attention to her beautiful face. This outfit is great for a curvy and pear shape body.

In Chinese: 黑白配之所以经典在于它有太多的花样可以去变化、去玩，比如今天的这两个造型里看到的荷叶边、包裹或垂坠的设计，还有皮革、织纹、丝等不同面料的混搭，更不用说那些数不清的配饰了。

另外，今天所选的这两位明星还代表了不同的体型：索菲亚·布什(Sophia Bush)的这件硬挺材质的上衣加上荷叶边的装饰能遮盖小腹，紧腿皮裤又凸显了细长腿的优势，很适合苹果身形。丰满女星的代表金·卡戴珊(Kim Kardashian)的这条裤子更有心机，类似哈伦裤的前片可以遮小腹，脚踝处斜裁的设计和亚光的丝滑材质又起到了拉长身形的作用，很适合胯宽或大腿肉肉的梨形身材。

Birthday outfit idea: crop top and high waisted pants Photo: Jaime King; Courtesy of Aleks Kocev.

For those who want to try the hot crop top trend but not comfortable showing skin, take a hint from birthday girl Jaime King, choose one that is slightly longer with a boxy cut, and pair it with high-waisted bottom, so you still get the crop effect, but nothing shows. Another thing that caught my eyes of this look is the white and chocolate brown color combination, so chic!

In Chinese: 如果你不想错过大热的超短款潮流，又对自己的身材不是很有自信，杰米·金(Jaime King)的这个生日造型能给你些灵感：选择稍长些、箱型剪裁、不贴身的款式，搭配上超高腰的裤子或裙子，赶时髦的同时，既有修饰的作用又能拉长身形。这个造型里另一个吸引我的元素是这一季又热起来的一个色彩组合：白色和深巧克力色。你会尝试吗？ Birthday outfit idea: crop top and high waisted pants
