Jumpsuit has been around for a while, from summer’s short overalls to fall’s long sleeved versions as you can see on today’s featured ladies. There are several reasons why we love a great jumpsuit:

First of all, it creates a long, lean silhouette that will make us look taller and slimmer, especially the versatile black one. Secondly, it’s as romantic and dramatic as a sexy-goddess maxi dress but much more practical and versatile. Thirdly, it has the perfect masculine/feminine balance which we all love today. Last but not least, it’s a no-brainer! You can just throw on and you are good to go.

In Chinese: 连身裤已经流行了好一阵了，从夏天就到处可见的清凉的短打连身裤到今年秋冬好多明星和名媛都偏爱的长袖装。存在必有其合理性，我最喜欢这种裤装的几点：首先，这种一件式的设计没有截断身形的担心，穿起来修身又显高；其次，它是性感和酷帅的完美结合。穿起来有和希腊女神式的长裙一样的视觉冲击，但是又没有那么挑场合挑季节。一年四季都可以穿，配合不同的鞋子和配饰也很容易打造适合不同场合的look。更重要的是你几乎不用费心考虑怎么穿搭，像裙子一样，只要套上去再加上一两个简单的配饰，比如一双性感的高跟鞋，一个手包，甚至只搭一只简单的大手表，就很有型了。

I love analyzing model’s off-duty looks. Oftentimes, we see them on the most basic and simple wardrobe staples that get elevated by teaming with one or two key pieces: be it an IT bag, fabulous sunglasses, killer stilettos, scarlet lips, or just that confident attitude.

In Chinese: 我最喜欢超模的街拍造型，一个主要原因是她们常常能把我们衣橱也都有的最基本、最平常的单品穿出令人咂舌的效果，除了很棒的身材外，出色的配饰也是她们提升这些极简单品的关键，比如在她们身上常看到的最夯的设计师手包，最酷的太阳镜或踝靴，别致的发型、妆容或者仅仅是她们自信从容的步伐和舍我其谁的态度。

Grown-up Whims: Graphic Sweatshirt

The one thing I admire greatly about top designers is their ability to lead us toward the territory we could never have imagined, present us clothes we never think of but would deeply feel in love with. Take graphic sweatshirts for example, it is until Riccardo Tisci introduced bambi print on his Fall 2013 runway, we suddenly realized that we need a printed sweatshirt in our closet, one that can bring back our sweet childhood memory, can express our emotions, or just want to add a cool, edgy, whimsical touch to our outfits.

In Chinese: 杰出的设计师总是能把我们带到从未尝试过的新领域，呈现给我们那些我们自己从未想过，但是却再也离不开的单品。拿这一季最热的卡通动漫图案的运动衫来说吧，如果不是在Riccardo Tisci 为Givenchy设计的2013秋冬系列中看到小鹿斑比出现，我可能根本不会意识到我的衣柜里缺少一件这样有趣的单品。很多高端和高街品牌也相继推出了各种各样的印花运动衫，它们是冬天厚重毛衣的最佳替代品，保暖的同时，这些有趣图案或者勾起了我们童年的美好回忆，或者能表达我们当下的情绪，给我们沉闷的秋冬装扮注入了活力。
