Plaid, leopard, burgundy, emerald… these classic yet trendy shades and prints are naturally associated with fall/winter. Jessica Alba demonstrate how to style them for day and night:

Luxe texture ups the chic factor. For a day time look, a velvet blazer, calf hair flat, wool fedora and cashmere scarf make a sleeveless shirt and skinny jeans combo perfect for fall. A black tote grounded the rich colors.

For an event or a night out, slip on stilettos and grab a printed clutch, you are good to go. Here, Jessica Alba smartly made the sleeveless shirt cold weather approved simply by warming them up with rich shades, from the deep burgundy on her lips to the emerald-green on her toes.

In Chinese: 豹纹、格子、酒红、墨绿等这些词天然地和秋冬联系在一起。今天来看看Jessica Alba 怎么把这些色彩和图案搭配起来，无论应对时尚派对还是周末出街都优雅自如。

奢华的材质能给基础单品和暗沉色调增加层次、提升质感，比如对于春夏我们常穿的无袖衬衫和牛仔裤的组合，秋冬时加上天鹅绒的西装外套、马毛或牛毛的鞋子包包、羊毛的小礼帽以及喀什米尔的围巾等。如果觉得身上的颜色和图案太多，就像Jessica Alba 一样用一个黑色的大包平衡一下吧。

参加派对或晚上外出时，只要把通勤的平底鞋换成高跟鞋，再加上一个豹纹手抓包和一抹红唇就可以了。但是要有应季感还要注意色调的选择，像Jessica Alba所选的墨绿色的鞋和暗红的唇色就给原本清凉的look增加了温暖度。

Off Duty Chic: Structured blazer & Distressed Jeans

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.

西装外套和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。

High-Low Mix: Cropped Sweater & Tulle Skirt

Do you have a delicate, exquisite dress or skirt that has been sitting in the closet waiting for that special moment, which might never come? Well, it’s time to pull it out. Be creative and experimental, make your evening skirt day-time appropriate by teaming it with jumpers, sweatshirts, tees or a bomber jacket.

Here, as a nod to the hottest crop-top trend, Olivia Palermo & Jessica Alba picked black short sweaters to highlight their beautiful light-colored skirts and make them pre-fall appropriate. With an evening clutch and embellished pump, Olivia Palermo’s combo is great for a night-out or an event. Jessica Alba dressed the similar combo street chic by accessorizing it with a hobo bag and fabulous sunglasses.

From the bags they carried, you can get an idea of this season’s bag trend: yes, instead of making a statement, this season, let your bag blend in and be part of your outfit.

不知道你是不是像我一样，衣橱里躺着几条精美的丝绸或刍纱的长裙，等着某个特别的日子再拿出来穿，但几年过去了，还躺在衣柜底，一次都没碰过。今天的两个造型或许能给我们灵感，多做些尝试，搭配日常穿着的单品，比如毛衣、T恤、帽衫或运动夹克，让这些看似特别场合才穿的单品多见些阳光。

纯美的颜色、独特的细节设计和精美的面料让Olivia Palermo和 Jessica Alba所穿的这些淡雅的长裙公主般梦幻。搭配上大热的短款毛衣，平衡了它们的隆重感，深色调也使这身look更适合渐冷的天气。通过变换配饰就能让这些搭配适合不同场合：可以像Olivia Palermo一样加上精美的手拿包和水晶装饰的高跟鞋，适合约会、参加晚宴或其它正式活动；或像Jessica Alba所示范的，加上休闲风的斜挎包、太阳镜和凉鞋，打造适合白天出街，轻松又抢眼的look.

提到包款，与以往抢眼的设计不同，今年秋冬服装唱主角，所以包款的选择上，要能与服装相呼应，融为一体。
