Thinking of what to wear on your coming weekend date? Look no further than Miranda Kerr. This style maven knows her assets well and hasn’t strayed from what suits her best. For casual off-duty looks, she often chooses structured blazers, skinny jeans and comfy flats. When dressing up, more often than not, you will see her in body-hugging dresses paired with sleek pumps and her signature red lip.

In Chinese: 如果你周末有约会，正烦恼穿什么，米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)的这几个造型你一定不要错过。聪明的她清楚自己的身材优点，无论潮流怎么变，她总会巧妙地坚持最能展现身型的搭配。休闲的场合，她最常穿的是西装外套加上紧身牛仔裤和舒适的平底鞋。需要精心打扮的时候，你多半会看到她选择像这两个造型里看到的包身窄裙，配上简约的尖头高跟鞋和她标志性的红唇。

Modernize Your Floral Dress

Floral prints are as classic as stripes and polka dots. They have been embraced by people of all ages (from teenage girls to their grandmas). Since some floral patterns do have the potential to make us look tacky, I always look for those with a retro flare and a sophisticated color palette, like the two featured below. Then use modern and edgy accessories to add urban chicness to the look. The on-trend birkenstock, mesh booties, streamlined bag and cat-eye sunglasses seen on today’s featured stars are the best illustrations.

In Chinese: 花朵是和条纹、圆点一样经典的图案，而且老少皆宜。但是花朵穿不好容易显得俗气。我个人喜欢寻找那些色调淡雅的有复古风情的印花单品，比如下面看到的这两条裙子，搭配上有现代感的元素形成冲突。今天的这两位偶像身上看到的勃肯鞋、网纱踝靴、简约的两用包以及猫眼太阳镜等就是这种混搭的最好诠释。

In a blink of an eye, we’re approaching the end of summer, which means the sartorial challenge we are facing now is transition dressing. Today’s two outfits from style mavens showed us how to transform summer staples like shorts, clogs and bright accessories into fall with ease. Hint: show a touch of bare skin and stay within a rich, sophisticated palette, like the bordeaux, olive and mustard seen here.

In Chinese: 眨眼的功夫夏天都快要结束了，这也意味了我们在日常着装上面临的挑战要从对抗酷暑转为在夏末秋初的尴尬过渡季如何穿搭了。今天的这两个时尚偶像就示范了如何把夏天的单品，比如短裤、木底拖以及亮色的配饰等穿到秋天。小提示：降低露肤度并选择秋冬常见的优雅色系比如在上面的造型里看到的酒红、芥末黄和橄榄绿等在视觉上给人以温暖的颜色。
