Bold printed pants have been on trend since last year, with new elements added, such as pajama, geometric pattern and sporty trends, these beloved printed pants have been constantly reinvented.

I initially had reservations about this type of pants because they tend to make our legs look wider and shorter, but with more and more options for different prints, cuts and materials, we can totally nail this trend while looking slim and effortlessly chic. Gwen Stefani & Miranda Kerr showed us how:

Choose “smart” prints, like the Peige one on Gwen Stefani, it looks like her legs are the same width as the print, the black side stripes also help to slim her legs; Go for high waisted version, it’s more flattering, especially when you choose loose fit one like the pair on Miranda Kerr; Opt for shoes in the same color family as the pants or a classic pointy-toe pump, both will help elongate legs; Pair them with plain tops, let the pants do the talk.

花朵、几何图案的印花裤从去年开始就很流行了,这几季在加入了新的元素后,这种裤型更受欢迎。我刚开始对印花裤敬而远之,总觉得会显腿粗,但是随着选择越来越多,挑到图案抢眼又时尚,而且修饰身形的印花裤已经不是什么难事了,我们可以从Gwen Stefani 和 Miranda Kerr上面的这两个造型里学到一些挑选和搭配的小技巧:

选择“有心机”的图案,Gwen Stefani身上的这条就很有巧思,视觉上她的腿只有中间内侧的几何图案那么纤细,另外,侧边的两条黑色直条纹也像给腿部打了阴影,更加强了显瘦的效果。高腰款式是拉长腿部线条的不二选择,尤其是穿像Miranda Kerr的这种宽松横条纹裤。在鞋子的选择上,和裤身同色系的鞋或经典的尖头高跟鞋也能使腿看起来更修长。

Military Chic: Khaki Jacket & Colored Jeans

Along with denim & leather jacket, military inspired outerwear has become a fashion staple we rely on year round: pair a classic trench coat with straight leg pants and structured tote for a sleek, sophisticated office look; team a safari jacket with a flowy maxi dress for a romantic yet edgy look.

Or like Olivia Palermo did here: offset a bright yellow skinny jeans and loafer combo with a stone coat; balance flirty polka dot skinny jeans and sexy pointy-toe pump with a cool khaki biker jacket.

Another great tip we can learn from her here: Match your shoes to your pants to create a long, slim line.

军装风格的外套已经和牛仔外套机车皮衣一起成为了我们衣橱里必不可少的时尚单品。经典的卡其风衣搭配上A字裙或直桶西装裤,既适合办公室穿着又可以出席派对。军绿色的休闲外套搭配上皮短裤或飘逸的长裙就是周末休闲的出彩装扮了。

或者像Olivia Palermo这里示范的一样:用中性色又酷帅的外套平衡高彩度印花裤装。使鞋子和裤子的颜色保持一致可以拉长腿部线条,使下半身看起来笔直又修长。

Timeless Striped Dresses

Close followers know my love of stripes: There are countless outfit inspirations about stripes in my posts, and I personally collect striped pieces in various colors, scales, materials, cuts and shapes.

Although been popularized by Coco Chanel, stripes have a resort-related, laid-back vibe naturally. To polish them up, choose black/white or navy/white version in structured blazer or lady like dress silhouette, like the sophisticated A-line and sleek sheath versions on today’s featured stars above.

When it comes to styling: bright colors are their best friends. A splash of saturated primary color like sunny yellow, classic red or cobalt blue really makes the stripes pop.

Another fun way to play with it is mixing prints: teaming stripes with polka dots, animal prints or floral patterns. The key is keeping them in a similar scale or stick to the same color palette.

In Chinese: 不少常联系的读者朋友都知道我喜欢条纹,不仅我的博文里收录了很多和条纹有关的搭配,而且我的衣橱里挂满了各种颜色、质地、面料和剪裁的条纹单品。

看到条纹,大家往往会联想到运动,度假等休闲娱乐活动。要想把它穿得正式优雅,选择黑白深蓝与白的经典搭配,修身的条纹小西服或典雅的条纹裙装也能让这个活泼的图案添几分正式感。

在搭配上,高饱和色是黑白条纹最好的朋友,如宝蓝明黄亮红等。今年流行的荧光色也能让条纹变得更抢眼活泼。此外,还可以把条纹和其它的经典图案混搭起来,比如波普圆点、动物纹或花朵图案。混搭的一个小贴士:保持图案的大小相对一致,或在同一个色系里。
