In honor of the coming vacation, today I picked three of my favorite looks, from emerging star Selena Gomez’s bright and trendy outfit to style-savvy Olivia Palermo’s elegant and mod number to the trendsetter Kate Moss’s boho chic ensemble, hope they can give you more ideas to effortlessly stand out in parties. The best tip? Let one piece be the focal point and build your outfit around it, like the crop top on Selena Gomez or the fringe kimono on Kate Moss.

In Chinese: ‘派对季’正式来临了!今天我选了三个最喜欢的派对造型,涵盖了不同年龄段 (从20出头的Selena Gomez到近40的Kate Moss)以及不同的风格(有端庄优雅的,可爱潮派的,或都市嬉皮风的),希望能给你的派对着装更多灵感。从这些look里学到的最好的贴士就是不要贪心,选一个单品作为整身着装的重点,比如Selena Gomez的短款露脐装或Kate Moss和服式的流苏外套,然后用低调的基本款来做衬托。

Party Outfits: Fur Coat & Sexy LBDs

Nobody wears fur coats better than Kate Moss. She pairs hers with distressed jeans, denim cutoffs, casual T-shirts or even maxi dresses for care-free day-time looks, and with mini skirts, dresses or lingerie for sexy & glamorous night out looks.

Today’s two outfits of her are perfect examples of how to wear fur coats for fall/winter parties: Since a fur coat is such a strong statement piece, keep the others simple and quiet, like the black LBDs, classic bag and basic pumps showed on Kate Moss; Balance the bulkiness of fur with fitted bottoms or bare legs; Offset its formality with edgy elements and imperfect makeup, like Kate’s bad-girl-vibe leather dress and her signature tousled tresses.

All these pieces are fashionable yet classic wardrobe staples that worth to invest in and will accompany us many years, together they result outfits that are smarter balanced, great for any age!

In Chinese: 在我看来,没有人比Kate Moss更会穿皮草。她会配上牛仔、皮裤、海魂衫等打造白天出街的轻松又有气场的造型;晚上参加派对时则把皮草大衣随性地裹在紧身小黑裙外,保暖又性感。

今天所选的她的这两个皮草大衣的造型就很适合秋冬的派对或约会。因为皮草外套本身就是很有存在感的单品,所以搭配时尽量选择线条和颜色简单的单品,比如Kate Moss身上的小黑裙、经典款的小香包优雅的高跟鞋等。贴身的下半身可以降低皮草大衣的臃肿感。同时要加入一些年轻化的元素给皮草“减龄”,比如单宁、皮革条纹等。略凌乱的发型和这一季流行的“不完整”的妆容等都能给一贯感觉老气的皮草增加潮流和随性感。

这两身造型中搭配到的皮草大衣、小黑裙和经典的红底鞋等都是衣橱必备的单品,不退流行,值得我们去投资,而且在各个年龄段都能穿。

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。
