Thanks to Balenciaga & Yves Saint Laurent who first introduced over-the-knee boots to the fashion world in the 60s, and legendary Karl Lagerfeld who popularized them by showing women that over-the-knee boots are a fashionable and practical alternative to leggings, now they already become a fashion staple that we rely on every fall/winter.

From the pioneers who rocked them in the 60s (led a strong trend against the iconic New look from Dior), you know that these babies are bad girls, they are tough, brave and sexy, which we should keep in mind when styling.

The streamlined menswear coat and outstanding cape coat showed on Miranda Kerr echo the cool-girl vibe of these boots. Mini skirts or shorts are the way to go with the high hem. And the best accessories? Your attitude!

膝上靴的流行真的要感谢设计师Balenciaga & Yves Saint Laurent,在上个世纪60年代,他们第一次把这种专门为男士们骑马而设计的鞋款引入了女性时装界。但这种靴型真正流行起来还要感谢Karl Lagerfeld,他在90年代设计的一个秋冬系列里用膝上靴代替传统秋冬穿的厚裤袜,从此每年秋冬,膝上靴就成了我们必不可少的单品了。

至于怎么搭配,回顾它的设计起源能给我们更多灵感。上世纪60年代正是迪奥最著名的new look盛行的时候,膝上靴的酷帅、性感和“坏女孩”的感觉吸引了一批对new look审美疲劳的时尚先驱们。

Miranda Kerr所选的单品,从狮身人面图案的T恤迷你裙男士款的大衣及独特剪裁的披肩外套等,都呼应了膝上靴的这种叛逆感和性感。

Structured blazer and distressed jeans go together like peanut butter and jelly, they compliment each other, and reflect today’s fashion: putting the two opposites together and blurring the boundaries of off-duty & on-duty.

I featured the above two looks incorporated this versatile yet universally flattering combo, showing how these two stylish icons put their own spin on it:

Miranda Kerr’s bow-embellished pointy toe loafer, enviable designer bag and her signature red lip elevate the look, adding a feminine and sophisticated touch to it, while Jessica Alba’s moody floral print top and must-have ankle booties lend an effortlessly chic and cool vibe to her monochrome ensemble.

西装外套破洞牛仔裤的混搭正体现了今天时尚的精髓,一切关乎平衡,把看似不同世界的东西放在一起,不断地挑战和创新,线上、线下,工作、休闲的着装界限已逐渐模糊,方便轻松转换以适应各种场合、并彰显个性的混搭方式越来越受到欢迎。

今天来学学怎么把这个“万能”的组合穿出自己的风格吧:Miranda Kerr的双色拼接的尖头平底鞋方便通勤或购物,又不失女人味,加上经典的爱马仕皮革包和她的标志性红唇,整身look既随性又不失精良的都市感;Jessica Alba的搭配更街头和“庞克”些,个性的黑白灰数位印花T奠定了整身look的基调,一双经典的踝靴更是这个季节必不可少的时尚单品。自然卷、裸妆,和黑色的美甲等细节也呼应了酷帅街头感。

White for Fall: Bomber Jacket & Jacquard Pants

how to wear: white in fall/winter, printed pants, bomber jacket, white skinny jeans,   Miranda Kerr, paris fashion week, street style, fall/winter, printed bomber jacket, white jeans, black pump, grey bag, white jacket, printed pants  on Miranda Kerr:Mango Super slim-fit zip white jeans, MCS   Elena and Zoe & Morgan bracelet, Rolex watch, Balmain   Pierre grey suede bag, Marc Jacobs cat eye sunglasses,   Proenza Schouler black pump,printed jacket, grey shirt,   on Miranda kerr: Balmain white Wool blazer, BALMAIN pointy toe black pump, balmain grey suede bag, BALMAIN black and gold leather belt, Oliver Peoples aviator sunglasses, Balmain printed jacquard pantsPhotos: Miranda Kerr; Courtesy of justjared.com.

Since the ‘No white after Labor Day’ rule has been broken, let’s learn some tips on how to style our favorite white pieces this fall/winter:

Either the timeless white or sweet pastels (which are a huge trend this season), it’s the materials that count. Pick pieces made of wool, jacquard, leather, knit, suede or thick denim.

Pair them with clothes or accessories in rich jewel tones or dark neutrals to add that season-appropriate vibe, like the grey bag, black suede pump and golden brown printed pants on Miranda Kerr.

Bonus points for adding some trendy elements or eye-catching prints to your outfit: be it a bomber jacket, a beanie, a leather backpack or botanical or leopard print.

秋冬穿白色或冰激淋色已经不是什么新鲜事了,今天就来学学今年秋冬怎么搭配这些粉嫩色系吧:

在选择浅色单品的时候,挑选羊毛、皮革、针织或厚的单宁等保暖的面料,搭配上秋冬常见的深珠宝色或暗的中性色系的服饰,像Miranda Kerr身上的深灰色的手包、黑色包头鞋、金棕色的几何印花裤等。

如果能引入一些应季的流行元素或图案就更出彩了:比如飞行员夹克针织帽肩背包数位印花、或每年秋冬都会流行的豹纹等。
