A chic oversized coat is all you need to stay fashionable in cold. To go one step further, pay attention to details: black leggings with multi-media material, ankle boots with edgy cut-out heels, quintessential scarf with enough volume and a fluffy whimsical key chain will take the outfit to a whole new level.

In Chinese: 一件精良剪裁的长外套是秋冬必备。对于已经占据了这么大面积的单品，要想在造型上做文章就要靠细节了，比如今天的这个超模出街造型里看到的不同材质拼接的打底裤、极具设计感的镂空鞋跟的踝靴，超大的围巾以及流行的怪诞绒毛吊坠等，给看似简约的中性色造型加入了丰富的细节和造型感。

Oversized coat is very nostalgic for me. For some reason, I associate it with wisdom and power, especially when the collar is up, the hem is flying with every step…maybe I watched too much Detective Conan in middle school.

Back to today’s featured outfits, I love how Poppy Delevingne added a fun and feminine flair to her masculine grey coat (above left), and turned down her luxurious, cape-like red coat with white crochet, heavily distressed denim and fun prints.

In Chinese: 不知道为什么，我总是潜意识里把这种长大衣和智慧、权力联系起来，尤其是把领子竖起来，长长的下摆随着步幅摇曳，再加上墨镜和礼帽，气场十足。也许是中学时名侦探柯南看太多了额。。

言归正传，看看Poppy Delevingne怎么搭配这种难驾驭的长大衣吧：第一个颇有硬朗风的灰色箱型大衣，她配上了有趣的波普衬衫和性感凉鞋；第二个有点像大斗篷的奢华的红色外套，她则配上了不羁的破洞仔裤和甜美学院风的镂空白毛衣和小衬衫。配饰上可爱圆点和狂野蛇纹的混搭也是出人意料又令人赞叹。

Things I learned from Miranda Kerr: Basics can be so chic; Stay comfy yet fabulous can be so easy! Simple tops and skinny bottoms, paired with a statement coat, fabulous shoes and covetable handbag, finishing off with a bold lip, have become her off-duty signature. Maintaining an organized, curated closet composed with high-quality, classic pieces just makes dressing in the morning so easy, right?

In Chinese: 超模和辣妈Miranda Kerr用她无可挑剔的街拍造型告诉了我们，原来基础单品可以穿得这么时髦，原来舒适和时尚可以如此轻松得统一。简单的基本款上衣搭上紧身裤，加上抢眼的外套、鞋子和包包，以及她的标志性红唇，是她最常见的街拍造型。给有一大堆衣服却总觉得没衣服可穿的我们上了一课：那些永不退流行的经典款构成的衣橱才能经得起时间的考验，也让每天早上穿衣这一任务变得轻松而享受。对吗？
