crop tops – Helen's Life & Style

As our days become longer and more hectic, the lines are further blurred between work and life. Adding a sporty touch to one’s outfit is not only acceptable, but fashionable from club to boardroom. Here, Emma Stone opted for strategically placed details (from the striped neck on her top to the tapered silhouette and humble, comfy material of her pants) to modernize her otherwise restrained work outfit. Kendall Jenner offset her sexy sheer crop top with sporty pants, combined with a sophisticated palette, resulting a head-turning look that is anything but kitsch.

In Chinese: 随着我们对能在不同场合自如转换的单品的需求日渐增多，着装界限也日渐模糊。原本不登大雅之堂的运动元素不但因契合现代人的需求而越来越受欢迎，而且更成为了一种时髦的造型方式。今天的两个搭配里，艾玛·斯通（Emma Stone）运用细节，比如条纹装饰的领口以及有运动风格的锥形裤等，让原本乏味的工作“制服”变得时髦有趣。肯达尔·詹娜（Kendall Jenner）则用改良版的运动裤中和她的短款透视装，打造出性感又帅气的派对“战服”。

Minkpink has a great selection of chic and trendy pieces with wallet friendly price tag and great quality. Last time, we featured a striped crop top with abstracted daisy print, this time the nautical stripes are combined with cute details like a loopy trim. Open knit and back/front scooped neckline make it a perfect piece for summer, worn alone or layered. Here, Alessandra Ambrosio showed us two ways to style it. Cuffed slouchy jeans and distressed denim jumper balanced the sexiness while staying in harmony with the overall casual chic vibe.

In Chinese: 我很喜欢Minkpink这个来自澳洲的品牌，她们家的单品不但时尚新颖，而且价格合理，用料讲究。上次我收录了一件条纹加花朵的短款上衣，这次超模亚历山大·安布罗休(Alessandra Ambrosio)身上的针织背心又让我忍不住下单子了，所幸价格不贵。经典的条纹加上类似蕾丝的收边，和前后的低挖领设计，无论夏天单穿还是春秋层叠搭都很不错。亚历山大·安布罗休的这两个造型里的男友风牛仔裤和单宁连身短裤平衡了上衣的小性感，又呼应了整体轻松和随性的风格。 Models off Duty 2014; how to wear crop tops; summer outfit ideas; Featured: 1.
