As a petite girl myself, I find that the most flattering jackets for me are cropped or hip-length ones. The latter are especially versatile for their seasonless apparel and easy-going vibe: they go great with almost anything, from dresses to leggings, from skinny jeans to wide-leg trousers; they add extra warmth without overwhelming our frame; they are also acceptable indoor & outdoor.

The only downside of hip-length jackets is they can cut our legs. To avoid that, cinch the coat at the waist with a belt or choose those already done for us like this fabulous Reiss jacket on Kate Middleton, which has the feminine fit and flare silhouette and sophisticated clean lines. Style savvy Olivia Palermo used a jeweled brooch to draw eyes up, which also help elongate her legs.

In Chinese: 娇小的女孩选择外套总是特别难。我本身个子也不高,发现有两种类型的大衣很修饰我们的身型:短款的或长到臀部的。尤其是刚好盖过臀部的款式实用又好搭:不分季节,室内室外都可以穿,而且和裙子、裤袜、牛仔裤,甚至阔腿裤都可以配。

这种长度的大衣唯一不好的地方在于会切断我们的腿型,所以选择收腰的款式很重要,比如王妃Kate Middleton身上的这件来自平价品牌Reiss的修身长外套,合身的剪裁、优雅的颜色和简洁的线条是她平时偏爱的穿衣风格。除了收腰款式或用腰带强调腰线外,街拍女王Olivia Palermo也提供了另外一个聪明的办法:用一枚抢眼的宝石胸针当作纽扣让视线停留在腰部,从而拉长了腿型,配上蛇纹的高跟鞋彩色珠宝镶嵌的手包,就能瞬间把适合办公室的黑白造型转换成闪亮的派对着装。

Winter White: Oversized Coat & Ladylike Accessories

how to wear the oversized white coats,winter white trend, how  to wear leather pants,   street style, fall/winter, Celine Dion, white coat, white cable knit sweater, leather pants, black boots, green bag, celine luggage, pink pump,  On Celine Dion: Celine white oversized coat, 	3.1 Phillip Lim Zip Oversized Pullover with Faux Trim, leather pants, black leather ankle boots, emerald green suede bag, dark green scarf,  	 On Celine Dion:Celine white oversized coat, grey skinny jeans, nude pink pump, pink celine luggage tote, oversized sunglasses, grey ombre scarf, Photos: Celine Dion; Courtesy of justjared.compcnphotos.com.

I’m very impressed by Celine Dion’s looks lately. She said that she is in the greatest place in her life. The happiness and joy are surely reflected in her uplifting outfits. Today’s featured looks of her are fresh, trendy with Celine’s classic elegant touches.

Besides teaming skinny bottoms with an oversized winter coat for a well-balanced look, there are more we can learn from her, especially the way she used colors: for graphic black/white color theme, she accessoried with deep, rich jewel tones like emerald green, whereas for softer white/grey color theme, she chose light peachy pink for an oh-so-fresh look. These two outfits are great for any age, get inspired and recreate yours!

In Chinese: Celine Dion 最近的造型让我眼前一亮,正如她在接受采访时所坦言的,她目前处于人生最好的状态,非常满意现在的生活。这种快乐和满足也正反映在她明快、时尚的着装上,比如今天所选的这两个造型,既抓住了这一季的潮流又不失她自己多年来的典雅风格。

我们能从这些搭配里学到很多,我最受益的是她对颜色的敏锐度,比如对于对比强烈的黑白色,用浓郁的宝石色来搭配,像她身上的墨绿色的包和围巾; 反之,对于相对柔和的中性色组合,比如白色和灰色,则用彩度稍低,但明快的粉色、杏色、浅蓝色等来搭配。

Pretty Pastel: Go-Everywhere Holiday Outfit Ideas

Soft pastels are as festival as traditional jewelry tones but more fresh, chic and mod. Today’s featured looks of super models Karlie Kloss & Natalia Vodianova incorporated beautiful turquoise and powder pink, which in my opinion, are “superwoman” outfits that are great for many occasions, whether running errands, last minutes shopping, going to the office, after dark drink, picking up kids from school, or hosting a dinner party.

The key to make pastels cold-weather approved is to add warm textures, like the fur tunic and tweed top showed on the models, respectively. The leather pants, right-on-trend midi skirt and block heel pumps balance out the sweetness of the pastels, making them great for any age!

In Chinese: 相比以往秋冬流行的浓郁宝石色,今年大行其道的马卡龙色系既有同样欢愉的假日感,又多了份别致的清新气息。今天所选的这两个来自超模Karlie Kloss 和 Natalia Vodianova的造型把甜美的马卡龙色上装搭配上了舒适又有复古气息的粗跟鞋、百搭的皮裤以及优雅的铅笔裙,很适合这个时节的各种活动和场合: 既适合通勤、约会,又适合举办派对、采购节日礼品或接送孩子上下学。

秋冬穿这种粉嫩色系的关键在于材质,比如在两位超模身上看到的皮草粗呢等增加了温暖感。深色皮裤和今年流行的有复古风的中长裙优雅的低跟包鞋等平衡了过于甜美的色彩,让40+的妈妈们也可以大胆挑战这些可爱的颜色了。
