For the coming parties, if you want some demure and graceful outfit inspirations, look no further than Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who is the epitome of elegant dressing.

She knows what suits her best and sticks with it. As you can see above, the cinched waist dresses highlight her tiny waist. The just-above-the-knee length combined with coordinating shoes is prim, flattering and leg-elongating.

When in muted colors like the navy and brown showed above, she uses complementing accessories to add rich textures to her ensembles; Whereas when in bright colors like the cobalt blue and bright red above, she keeps the silhouette simple for a modern, sleek vibe.

In Chinese: 先前我们分享了前卫的数码印花裙经典的小黑裙,今天来看看优雅的A字裙吧。说起优雅,凯特王妃一定会是先冒入我们脑海的时尚典范。她很清楚自己的身材优势,上面的这几个造型中都能看到的收腰款裙装或裙式大衣是她最常穿的。齐膝或膝上一两公分的裙长既显瘦又端庄。简约的一件式洋装或同色系的上下装,搭配裸色或同色的高跟鞋也是她显高又显瘦的小技巧。

另外,当她选择低调的中性色或暗色调的服装时,会选用不同材质的配饰来丰富整体造型,比如前两个造型里看到的麂皮和丝、棉以及锦缎的搭配。反之,当她选择亮色系的服装时,会偏向于剪裁利落的款式简单的配件来增加现代感。

Holiday Party Outfit Ideas: Little Black Dress

Continuing the discussion of what to wear for holiday parties, if bold digital print dresses we shared last time aren’t your thing, then there is always a perfect little black dress fits your needs.

As you can see above: a lace embroidered version enhanced Olivia Palermo’s sweetness while a grid crew-neck version brought out Alexa Chung’s preppy and quirky flair.

Even with the two very similar Prada dresses, Kate Moss & Audrey Tautou pulled out totally different outfits: Kate Moss went for a girly, flirty vibe using colorful and playful eye-catching accessories whereas Audrey Tautou represented Parisian chic with elegant pump, minimal jewelry and sophisticated makeup.

In Chinese: 延续我们关于年末派对着装的话题,如果夸张、前卫的数码印花裙不是你的风格,那一定有一条小黑裙符合你的诉求。今天所选的4个小黑裙的造型就各有千秋:Olivia Palermo的蕾丝镶边的丝质小黑裙很符合她一贯甜美的风格,Alexa Chung的小圆领、带透明格子网纱的小黑裙则展现了她标志性的透着些许古灵精怪的学院风气质。

即使是非常相似的两条Prada小黑裙,搭配上不同的发式、妆容和配件,也会展现完全不同的风格: Kate Moss的彩色凉鞋和斑马纹手包给这条裙子注入了活泼和轻快的元素;Audrey Tautou则用优雅的黑色麂皮高跟鞋、极简的配饰和精致的妆容展现了巴黎女人的自信和优雅。

Style Match: Mother-Son Coordinating Outfits

Being a mom myself, I love watching fashion icons dress their babies. Miranda Kerr and her boy Flynn are definitely among my top style-crush list. I love how Miranda Kerr takes the intimate mother-son coordinating outfits to another level by ‘matching’ style instead of clothing. As showed above, from refined punk to laid-back casual, Flynn has become her best ‘accessories’.

In Chinese: 当了妈妈以后,我就有意识地开始留意那些同样做了母亲的时尚偶像们怎么打扮她们的小孩。超模Miranda Kerr和她两岁的儿子Flynn的出街装扮是我最喜欢看的。市面上有的亲子装、家庭装往往太过可爱,而且穿起来不合身,Miranda Kerr的搭配启发了我们,不要刻意去穿一模一样的衣服,可以从风格和色彩上进行搭配和呼应,比如今天所选的这两个造型,有酷帅的庞克风,也有活泼舒适的休闲风,Flynn俨然成了这个时尚辣妈最好的“配饰”。
