Wool coats are cold weather essentials. I especially love camel ones for their warm and cozy vibe. Another fall/winter must-have is knee-high or over-the-knee boots. You can wear them with skinny jeans, leggings, shorts or skirt.

When hunting for staple pieces like these, I prefer those with sleek silhouette and minimal details, like this Fay funnel neck coat and Stuart Weitzman leather boots spotted on Olivia Palermo above.

I also love how she makes these basic pieces current by letting the crisp white collar peep out. Layering a fur vest underneath is also a nice tip for staying warm yet stylish.

In Chinese: 羊毛外套一定是秋冬必备，我尤其偏爱棕色系，有温暖感，又很衬我们东方人的肤色。另一个秋冬必备是及膝或膝上靴，可以搭配牛仔裤、内搭裤、短裤或短裙，时尚又保暖。对于这些实穿的单品，投资时可以选择那些线条简洁，没有什么零碎装饰的款式，才能不退流行，比如名媛Olivia Palermo身上的这件Fay的立领大衣和Stuart Weitzman最经典和最受欢迎的高筒靴。

除了明智地选择单品外，Olivia Palermo的搭配技巧也一向是很值得我们学习的。今天的这两个造型里，她通过一件简单的白衬衫就把这些基础单品穿出了潮流感。另外，把皮草背心穿在大衣里也是既保暖又有层次感的好方法。

It’s not the first time I featured Olivia Palermo styling her fur cardigan for day and night (check her previous looks here), today let’s share two more outfits of her, learn how to recycle the same piece for various occasions.

Since fur has the connotation of being formal and stodgy, for a daytime look, we need to downplay it by adding bright colors and youthful elements. Here, Olivia Palermo teamed hers with edgy leather pants and biker boots, and brought in colors via accessories like an artful scarf and cherry red satchel.

For a glamorous evening look, we want to bring out the luxurious side of fur but still keep it up-to-date. Olivia Palermo chose rich jewelry tones like emerald green, crimson red and deep brown for a picturesque fall look and kept it current by mixing this season’s favorite textures and hottest hues. Her bared legs also balanced out the bulkiness of fur.

In Chinese: 上次我们分享了两个Olivia Palermo穿着皮草的搭配，今天再看看这两个造型，学学她怎么用同一件单品搭配出休闲和华贵两种look吧!

皮草总让人感觉太正式，还有些老气。要打造白天出街的搭配，最好用明亮的色彩和年轻的元素打破皮草的奢华和正式感。Olivia Palermo搭配了酷帅的皮裤和机车靴，用抢眼的围巾、樱桃红的手包等配饰点亮了整身造型，看起来随意又时尚。

参加宴会或派对时，除了凸显皮草的奢华感外，用流行的元素和适度的露肤度给皮草装扮“减龄”。Olivia Palermo身上的墨绿、酒红、深棕等颜色呼应了皮草的华贵，也符合季节。不同材质的混搭和当季最in色彩的组合让她的装扮得体优雅，又不失流行感。

Tomboy Chic: Turtleneck Sweater & Menswear Oxford

I always appreciate about being a woman: we have way more options when it comes to clothing and accessories. But somehow, it’s those pieces we borrowed from men become permanent residents in our forever changing wardrobe, like the turtleneck sweater and lace-up Oxford spotted on today’s featured ladies.

When rocking the tomboy style pieces, the key is balancing them with feminine touches, like the satin blouse, red nails of Olivia Palermo, or the ladylike bag of Charlize Theron. Rolling up sleeves or cuffs to show the slimmest part of your body is also a great way to add that subtle sexy touch.

In Chinese: 每当我老公抱怨商场里卖的女装总比男装多得多时，我总是很庆幸自己身为女人有这么多选择。但奇怪的是，衣橱里我最喜欢、每次清理都舍不得扔的却是那些从老公衣橱里“借”来的单品，比如机车皮衣、军装夹克，还有从上面的两个时尚偶像身上看到的高领毛衣和系带牛津鞋等。

搭配这些男孩风单品的关键在于用女人味去平衡，比如Olivia Palermo所穿的精致的丝缎衬衫，紧腿裤，或者Charlize Theron所拿的优雅的裸色手包等。另外，随意地卷起袖口或挽起裤腿，露出纤细的手腕脚踝也能增加帅气的性感。小细节也不容忽视，比如红色的甲油或唇彩，或一枚别致的戒指、手环等。
