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。

White blazer is truly a wardrobe essential that we can pull out and restyle every spring/summer. This particular style by Rebecca Minkoff has been so popular. Besides the impeccable cut, structured silhouette, silk material and variety of color options (also here here), what attracted me the most are the unique shawl lapels, pointed hemline and high-low length. No wonder it has been loved by celebrities, trendsetters and fashion bloggers.

Today’s featured looks from Olivia Palermo showed us how versatile it is: It can polish up a laid back, distressed-jeans-with-ballet-flat combo or tone down bold colorful silk-cami-and-sheer-maxi-skirt look. For casual basic look like above right, one or two eye-catching accessories can instantly elevate it, be it a statement bag, an opulent necklace or a pair of trendy sunglasses; For a busy bold look like above left, it’s better to keep all the pieces in a similar color family: the yellow cami, brown printed maxi skirt, strappy sandals and metallic belt are all warm, rich color tones, thus they blend harmoniously without overwhelming.
