Red/blue is a classic color combination, naturally, blue jeans are red tops’ best friends. Here, Jamie Chung chose distressed boyfriend version to tone down a structured red blazer while highlighting her beautiful shoes. This look is great for casual occasions where you still want some polish. Nicole Richie’s flared jeans elongated her legs while the retro vibe echoes her contrast trimmed blazer. Change the jeans to a dark washed one, you can wear this to the office too.

In Chinese: 红蓝配是经典配色之一，明暗度和饱和度的不同又可以衍生出很多变化。提到红色外套或小衫，自然会想到配牛仔蓝。想穿得随性又都会感，就选择一条宽松的破洞牛仔裤吧，再加上有设计感的高跟鞋，强烈的反差让人过目不忘；想正式中带些女人味，就选修身的喇叭裤，像Nicole Richie（上图右）的造型，复古感的阔腿裤和滚边外套相呼应，加上尖头鞋和白衬衫就是能点亮办公室的好装扮，想再增加正式感，就换成深色水洗款。

Weekend wardrobe calls for casualness and ease, but the ways to achieve that vary depending on our activities. For a walk around cities, we may want something sleek and edgy for an effortlessly urban chic look, like leather pants, leopard scarf, or studded booties. For a getaway, comfort is key. Jacket, top and chunky scarf build up ideal layers for us to adjust to different temperatures while loose fit jeans and ballet flat making commute a lot easier.

In Chinese: 周末我们总会穿得休闲些，但根据场合和活动的不同，我们休闲搭配的侧重点也有不同，比如如果仅仅是周末在市区里的一些活动，像逛街购物或和朋友聚餐等，选择些有都市感的、线条简洁、图案典雅的单品，秋冬典型的有皮裤、豹纹或铆钉装饰的包包、鞋子或围巾等。如果周末要外出度假，舒适和便于活动就更重要了，洋葱式的穿法外加围巾、帽子等有助于我们适应室内外的各种温度，宽松的裤款和平底鞋也让旅行更方便舒适。

Bold floral pieces have the uplifting power. But how to make these Granny’s favorite modern and chic? Jessica Alba & Kyleigh Kuhn showed us in two different ways:

Jessica Alba went for a more-is-more approach by pairing her floral pull over with a statement necklace and colored handbag. It works because all these bold pieces are close to each other, thus they won’t compete for attention.

Kyleigh Kuhn turned in another direction by offsetting her floral top with slouchy boyfriend jeans and edgy peep toe booties. Her ‘less is more’ aesthetic is reflected through her clean updo, fresh makeup and minimal jewelry.

In Chinese: 花朵图案总能提升我们的情绪，尤其在阴郁的秋冬。但是穿不好，会显得老气。怎样搭配出年轻和潮味呢？看看Jessica Alba 和 Kyleigh Kuhn的这两身造型吧！

Jessica Alba的look体现了今年流行的“多且繁”的搭配潮流，把原本已经够花的上衣配上了大的项链和彩色的手包。成立的关键在于这几样抢眼的单品都集中在一起，避免了“不知道该看哪儿”的视觉上的纷乱感。Kyleigh Kuhn则是一副典型的超模私下的街拍造型：一件抢眼的时尚单品配上衣柜中旧的牛仔裤，清新的妆发和极简的配饰体现了她‘少即多’的时尚态度。
