Skinny jeans & white tops (blazer, jumper or tee) are basics we all have in our closet, today’s featured looks above show us how to take these classic staples from the boardroom to the sidewalk.

Olivia Palermo used a mesh baseball tee and bright loafer to give her distressed jeans an up-to-date fashionable vibe while chunky jewelry and textured satchel adding extra punch. The overall look is casual, fresh yet polished, great for shopping, strolling around town or hanging out with friends.

Miranda Kerr always looks glamorous yet effortlessly chic. Here, a structured white blazer, a quilted chain shoulder bag and pointy toe pump instantly dress up her jeans while a blush silk top and coral lip adding a soft, feminine touch. This look is great for the office, meetings and many social events.

牛仔裤、西装外套、薄毛衣都是我们衣橱里的必备单品，注意一些细节的选择再加以适当的配饰，就可以用这些单品轻松打造出或正式或休闲的look.

Olivia Palermo的这件白色透视上衣即有时下大热的运动元素，剪裁又修身，加上亮色的复古包鞋，略带庞克风的手包，让普通的蓝白搭配休闲中更带有新颖时尚的酷帅感。

Miranda Kerr擅长把普通的单品穿得性感又利落。西装外套，尖头包鞋和Lanvin的链条包瞬间提升了休闲的牛仔踝裤，粉肤的丝质上衣和淡橘的唇色提升了气色又增加了柔美感。

Office Glamour: Black and White

What I love most about fashion is that it’s forever evolving, but for this year’s black and white trend, I wish it could stay. It just so classic, versatile and practical. As long as you pick the right shape and accessories, this combo really can take you anywhere.

Here, Cameron Diaz & Victoria Beckham showed us how to take this trend to the office with the right balance of subdued glamorous and fashion-conscious:

Black pumps and bags are work wardrobe staples, this season, change them into white. Team with a knee-length or below the knee dress. A gold belt or watch adds just the right amount of luxe touch.

Victoria Beckham exemplifies the minimalist chicness. Her ‘secret’ lies in the details: from a sexy heel with metallic accent and flirty V-cut topline, a understated luxurious clutch to a deep V-neck shirt and an impeccable tailored jacket tossed over her shoulders.

In Chinese: 虽然不断的更新与变革是时尚永恒不变的主题，但是对于我喜欢的潮流，有时候真希望它能永恒不变，比如今年大热的黑与白。只要找到对的剪裁和配饰，这个经典的色彩组合可以让我们游走于任何场合。

就拿我们呆的时间最长的办公室来说吧，把以往常备的黑色高跟鞋和公文包换成白色，加上一条黑白拼接的及膝或膝下裙（Cameron Diaz所穿的这条现在三折！），既符合潮流又优雅端庄。以极简现代风格著称的Victoria Beckham则在细节上脱颖而出，比如她脚上的这双金属跟的鞋（最喜欢楦头的桃心设计！）和低调优雅的手包，披在肩头的外套，低开领的衬衫以及精致的细腰带等。

European Chic: Striped Wide Leg Pants

If you ask me what to pack for a trip to Europe, the first thing that comes into my mind should be a pair of navy/white striped wide-leg pants! Whether walking round in Paris, enjoying dinner in Greek, or soaking up the sun in Mediterranean, it just fits all the scene perfectly, let alone how versatile and practical it is:

The silky breezy material and comfy loose fit make it great for traveling; the chic and luxe vibe make it easy to transform when arrive at your destination: with wedges/flats for day or stilettos for night. The classic color combo just goes with every top you bring. After the vacation, you can wear it straightly to the office with a tailored blazer and structured tote!

When choosing yours, those with vertical stripes and high waist design are more flattering and leg-elongating. Also, don’t take “wide-leg” too literally. Find one that is relatively slim fitting. Pair it with fitted, sleeveless tops to get the right balance, like today’s featured ladies did.
