Nobody wears fur coats better than Kate Moss. She pairs hers with distressed jeans, denim cutoffs, casual T-shirts or even maxi dresses for care-free day-time looks, and with mini skirts, dresses or lingerie for sexy & glamorous night out looks.

Today’s two outfits of her are perfect examples of how to wear fur coats for fall/winter parties: Since a fur coat is such a strong statement piece, keep the others simple and quiet, like the black LBDs, classic bag and basic pumps showed on Kate Moss; Balance the bulkiness of fur with fitted bottoms or bare legs; Offset its formality with edgy elements and imperfect makeup, like Kate’s bad-girl-vibe leather dress and her signature tousled tresses.

All these pieces are fashionable yet classic wardrobe staples that worth to invest in and will accompany us many years, together they result outfits that are smarter balanced, great for any age!

In Chinese: 在我看来,没有人比Kate Moss更会穿皮草。她会配上牛仔、皮裤、海魂衫等打造白天出街的轻松又有气场的造型;晚上参加派对时则把皮草大衣随性地裹在紧身小黑裙外,保暖又性感。

今天所选的她的这两个皮草大衣的造型就很适合秋冬的派对或约会。因为皮草外套本身就是很有存在感的单品,所以搭配时尽量选择线条和颜色简单的单品,比如Kate Moss身上的小黑裙、经典款的小香包优雅的高跟鞋等。贴身的下半身可以降低皮草大衣的臃肿感。同时要加入一些年轻化的元素给皮草“减龄”,比如单宁、皮革条纹等。略凌乱的发型和这一季流行的“不完整”的妆容等都能给一贯感觉老气的皮草增加潮流和随性感。

这两身造型中搭配到的皮草大衣、小黑裙和经典的红底鞋等都是衣橱必备的单品,不退流行,值得我们去投资,而且在各个年龄段都能穿。

Continuing our talk about fall pastel trend, Today I want to share with you two more looks that are great for the coming parties and get-togethers.

To balance the pretty and conservative baby blue pieces, Mandy Moore & Chelsea Leyland chose dark colors, tough materials, cool add-ons (love their booties and Leyland’s playful book clutch!). The overall looks are so modest and risky all at once!

Mandy Moore’s look especially amazed me: she is in head-to-toe Topshop, but looks so graceful, comfy and modern. It’s truly a look great for any age. So, for the moms out there, you are never too old to try Topshop!

In Chinese: 继续我们上次对于今年马卡龙色潮流的探讨,今天我想分享两个同样引入了粉蓝色单品的look,很适合参加年末的公司聚餐或和家人朋友的派对。

Mandy Moore 和 Chelsea Leyland为了平衡浅粉色的上衣和外套的甜腻感,加入了很多时尚的元素、硬朗的材质、酷帅或有趣味的配件(好喜欢她们的鞋子手包!)。我尤其喜欢Mandy Moore (上图左边)的这个造型,既得体又时尚,适合很多场合,什么年纪的人都可以穿。很难相信她身上的单品都来自很平价的Topshop。所以很多妈妈们,逛街时不要错过那些貌似只针对年轻人设计的高街品牌哦,你一定会有意外的收获!
