Fur or Faux fur pieces are cold weather essentials. They keep us stylish while shielding against winter chill. Today’s featured ladies gave us more fresh ideas of how to style these wardrobe staples:

Olivia Palermo mixed plaids to liven up her dark ensemble. Her relaxed pants work well in this outfit because the fur piece on her is a vest instead of a coat. The sheer blouse balances the loose silhouette while the eye-catching stilettos elongating her legs.

Alessandra Ambrosio’s striped fur coat is definitely the center piece, so she kept the others simple and quiet. The right-on-trend over-the-knee boots seen on her go great with mini skirt or shorts, exuding the right amount of sexiness. Check out how Kate Moss styled her striped fur coat for a glamorous evening look here!

In Chinese: 皮草是秋冬打造时尚又保暖造型的必备单品。除了搭配牛仔裤或打底裤外,还有什么新鲜的搭配方法吗?看看今天的这两个造型吧!

Olivia Palermo混搭了两种不同的格子图案给秋冬的暗沉色调增加了趣味。因为皮草本身具有膨胀感,所以我们一般搭配紧身的裤装,Olivia Palermo却选择了略宽松的款式,关键在于她的皮草单品是马甲,而且她用半透明的衬衫降低了潜在的臃肿感,她的裤装在脚踝处也做了收紧的处理,搭配上能拉长腿型的尖头高跟鞋,这种宽松加宽松的‘公式’才成立。

Alessandra Ambrosio的这件条纹的皮草大衣是整身最亮眼的单品。在保持其它的色彩相对简单低调的同时,她用休闲的牛仔短裤给皮草增加了些年轻活泼的元素。现在正红的膝上靴最好的穿搭伙伴是迷你裙或短裤,既拉长腿型又能展现恰到好处的性感。Kate Moss也曾穿过相似的条纹皮草大衣,还记得这个look吗?

Simple Chic: Jeans and Studded Booties

There are always lazy days when I don’t want to think about my outfit, just gravitate towards some simple yet trusty pieces, like a basic black top and favorite skinny jeans or denim shorts.

For omnipresent combo like this, as always, we need to rely on accessories to make them stand out. As Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Miranda Kerr showed here: a chic fedora, right-on-trend studded booties, eye-catching yet practical ‘It’ bags, fabulous sunglasses or even just a wipe of red lipstick can make a big difference.

Another trick learned from Miranda Kerr: if you are self-conscious about a certain back area like I do when wearing hot shorts (you know what I mean), tie something around your waist: a denim shirt, leather jacket, hoodies or cardigan, which will add details to an outfit while super practical when temperature changes.

In Chinese: 总有那么几天,出门前懒得去想该穿什么,习惯性地把手伸向衣橱里那些我最信任的单品:简单的黑白T和牛仔裤。但是要把这些太过于平常的搭配穿出彩,配饰总是必不可少的。就像今天的这两位街拍偶像示范的一样:无论是一顶绅士风格的小礼帽,一双大热的铆钉踝靴,还是抢眼又实用的IT包,都能瞬间提升即使是最简单的搭配。

一个小技巧:如果你也有和我一样的困扰,穿热裤的时候总是担心后面太短,那就像辣妈Miranda Kerr学习,系一个外套在腰间,不但可以增加层次感,当气温变化的时候也能保暖。

Summer Shorts: Distressed Denim & Ankle Boots (Part II)

In part two of our “Summer Shorts” series, I want to talk about a specific catalog of the beloved denim shorts — the distressed ones. The worn out look lends more carefree, edgy and relaxed vibe to our outfit.

It’s such a versatile piece that can be worn year round and paired with almost anything: With an animal print top as seen on Heidi Klum (above left) for an edgy, adventurous look; With a retro pleated high neck top as seen on Nicole Richie (above right) for an urban bohemian look; With an ethnic graphic sweatshirt for a globetrotter girl look; Or with a silk striped blouse for a city chic look, and the list goes on… When temperature drops, top it off  with a leather jacket or structured coat, as Alexa Chung did here.

When it comes to accessories, ankle boots, studded belt, hobo bag, aviator sunglasses are it’s best friends. They echo the edgy, relaxed and youthful vibe of distressed denim, great for a feminine meets masculine look.
