I have love-hate relationship with parkas, need them when it’s freezing cold outside while challenged when it comes to styling. Today’s two looks inspired me, I love how Gisele Bundchen kept hers sleek and sexy with skinny jeans, killer booties and an It bag, envy how Miranda Kerr made the impossible combination of super comfy and super chic by mixing sweatpants and sneakers with covetable Hermes and sultry red lips.

In Chinese: 我对风雪衣既爱又恨，寒冬里离不开它，穿时却很难搭配出时尚感。如果你也一样，今天的这两个look能给我们些灵感：Gisele Bundchen选了酷帅的军绿色，配上修身仔裤、拼接的皮革踝靴和IT包，颇有硬朗又性感的都市风。Miranda Kerr则混搭了休闲的运动裤、运动鞋与让人垂涎的爱马仕包和她标志性的红唇。 How to Dress for Zero-Degree Temperatures; How to Wear a Parka; featured: Earrings: ginette_ny Mini Lotus Stud Earrings, Bag: Givenchy Lucrezia duffel Bag, Jacket: FAY padded jacket, Jeans: J Brand Maria High Rise Powerstretch Legging Jeans, Boots: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN canassone boots,

Leopard print is no doubt classic. I especially love the slightly brighter version on today’s featured ladies for its seasonless apparel. These two looks showed us perfectly how to style the same piece now and later when the temperatures rise.

I also love how they tamed this sexy wild print with preppy cable knits, laid-back denim, feminine ruffles and pleats and edgy ankle boots, respectively.

In Chinese: 豹纹是毋庸置疑的经典，但相比传统的豹纹，我更喜欢上面这两位荧屏明星所穿的亮色豹纹，更有现代感，不会到处撞衫，而且四季皆宜。这两个造型更启发了我们怎么“一衣多穿”，在春天即将到的时候多学些这样换季搭配的小技巧吧。

另外，我们总觉得豹纹太狂野，习惯用黑色去压，学学她们吧: 学院风毛衣，休闲的牛仔、小女人味的褶边以及硬朗的踝靴等都是平衡豹纹的好方法。

Crop Top for Any Age

Crop tops are a huge trend this year. How to wear them in a tasteful way, better yet, at any age? Take a hint from 20s Jennifer Lawrence and 40s Cate Blanchett:

Pick understated, sophisticated colors like black, white or grey, team them with high-waisted midi skirts or trousers. To reinvent the crop trend without the dated 60s vibe, add a dash of extra wattage with mod accessories, like oversized resin link necklace, high-impact black and white pump, rumpled hair and fresh face.

In Chinese: 对于大热的短款露脐装，不知道大家是不是有和我一样的疑问：怎么搭配能更端庄些？什么年纪都能穿吗？今天所选的这两个来自23岁的当红影星Jennifer Lawrence和40多岁的Cate Blanchett的造型显然能帮我们解答：

颜色的选择很重要，相比亮色系，经典低调的黑白灰更容易挑战，搭配高腰的伞裙、铅笔长裙或长裤降低露肤度。最后利用线条简洁但有存在感的配饰增加现代感，比如在这两个好莱坞明星的搭配中看到的大的几何链条项链、波纹的包鞋等。随性的发型和清新的妆容也能提升整体气质。
