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。

Master Your Stripes

Lines have a great impact on camouflaging or enhancing our body shape. The effect is most clearly highlighted by high-contrasting stripes. Take this striped dress on Taylor Swift for example: the variegated lines, combined with strategically placed black side panels, result a visually slimming look.

Accessories, once again, played a big part in their outfits: a demure, sophisticated handbag and cool, retro oxford pumps balanced the sexiness of Taylor Swift’s mini body-con dress, while Olivia Palermo chose a structured colorblock satchel and lux calf-hair print slipper to elevate the casualness of her stripe tee.

In Chinese: 线条对整体着装的影响很大，对比强烈的条纹尤其能说明这一点。拿小天后泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)的这条裙子来说吧：它的条纹从胸线以下变得密集起来，再加上侧边黑色的拼接，视觉上非常显瘦。

除了线条的作用，这两个造型再一次提醒了我们配饰的影响力：泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)优雅的裸色方包和学院风的牛津包鞋平衡了她包身迷你短裙的性感；奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)则用有趣又有正式感的撞色手包和波纹马毛鞋提升条纹T恤的休闲感。

Desk to Dinner

One reason I really admire Miranda Kerr’s style is the simplicity and versatility, especially after she became a mom. Take these two outfits for example, I can easily picture her wear the left one with a ballet flat or loafer for playing with Flynn, then change her red scalloped pump for business meetings (with an outerwear that is stored in her roomy tote to put on when in the air-conditioned office). In the afternoon, simply change the dressy trousers and heels with a flowy maxi skirt and flat sandals, she looks dinner-ready, and the outfit will be comfy enough for an after-dinner walk too.

In Chinese: 熟悉的读者都知道我非常钟爱米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)的穿衣风格，一个重要的原因是她的造型非常简约而且只需要简单的变化就能适合各种场合，很适合忙碌的上班族，尤其是她自己当了妈妈以后的那些出街造型。比如今天的这两个，左边的搭配换上芭蕾平底鞋或乐福鞋，就可以和儿子去公园玩，换上她的这双侧边有水波装饰的红色低跟鞋，加上放在大包里的外套，就可以去办公室了。下午只要简单地把裤子换成飘逸的雪纺长裙，加上平底凉鞋，和一抹红唇，把长发放下来，就可以去约会了，饭后散步时也看起来清爽舒适又漂亮。
