Short coats and jackets are great transitional pieces, they keep us warm without the heaviness of a long coat. I love how today’s featured ladies played with proportions by teaming skinny bottoms with their cocoon coat and fluffy fur jacket, respectively. Bringing in light, bright colors is also a great way to get in the mood for spring, like the convertible metal bar red bag and white sweater on Kate Hudson.

In Chinese: 短大衣或夹克是换季时的衣橱救星，保暖的同时又没有秋冬长大衣的厚重感。想要更显轻巧，比例就很重要了，今天的这两个造型里看到的上宽下窄的结构就是典型的比例搭配法。引入淡雅或明艳的色彩也是乍暖还寒时点亮心情的好办法，比如Kate Hudson的这款当红的金属杠手包和她身上的白毛衣。

In our forever-changing wardrobe, there are permanent residents we can’t live without–the wardrobe basics. Here are my wardrobe essentials worth the investment:

1. structured blazers; 2. classic button-down; 3. quintessential skinnies; 4. trusty shoes (be it a ballet flat, a classic pump or year-round booties); 5. impeccable coat; 6. badass leather pants; 7. motorcycle jacket; 8. versatile jumper; 9. statement bag; 10. signature sunglasses.

The best part? They are all in today’s featured fashion icons and trend setters.

In Chinese: 时尚易逝，“经典”永存。在我们女人季季更新的衣橱里总有那么几件是我们永远不会抛弃，也最可靠的“好朋友”，那就是衣橱必备的基本单品。在我看来，这10件是每个女人都该投资的：

1. 合体的西装外套; 2. 经典的白衬衫; 3. 合身的牛仔裤; 4. 舒适的鞋子 (可以是平底芭蕾鞋、简洁的包鞋或四季皆宜的踝靴); 5. 有品质感的羊毛外套; 6. 皮裤; 7. 机车夹克; 8.基本款毛衣; 9. 一款可背可提的手包; 10. 适合脸型的太阳镜。

这几件都经常在今天所选的这三个超模（或前超模）的街拍中看到。你呢？你的衣橱必备有哪些？

Weekend wardrobe calls for casualness and ease, but the ways to achieve that vary depending on our activities. For a walk around cities, we may want something sleek and edgy for an effortlessly urban chic look, like leather pants, leopard scarf, or studded booties. For a getaway, comfort is key. Jacket, top and chunky scarf build up ideal layers for us to adjust to different temperatures while loose fit jeans and ballet flat making commute a lot easier.

In Chinese: 周末我们总会穿得休闲些，但根据场合和活动的不同，我们休闲搭配的侧重点也有不同，比如如果仅仅是周末在市区里的一些活动，像逛街购物或和朋友聚餐等，选择些有都市感的、线条简洁、图案典雅的单品，秋冬典型的有皮裤、豹纹或铆钉装饰的包包、鞋子或围巾等。如果周末要外出度假，舒适和便于活动就更重要了，洋葱式的穿法外加围巾、帽子等有助于我们适应室内外的各种温度，宽松的裤款和平底鞋也让旅行更方便舒适。
