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。

Thanks to the strong black and white trend, not only the traditional winter white shades like eggshell and cream are totally acceptable, the bright whites we usually see in summer are also can, and should be embraced in winter now. A crisp white piece can instantly make a monochrome look modern, sharp and chic.

Here, Miranda Kerr chose the classic white, blue and red color theme, while Lily Collins demonstrated the black & white simplicity. The faux fur coat on Lily Collins is colorblocked, combined with a black jumpsuit, making the stodgy fur youthful and flattering.

I’m glad that the red trend is back this fall. You can team it with almost any color, the combination of red and white is especially fresh and uplifting.

In Chinese: 感谢这几季强劲的黑白风，现在秋冬穿白色的概念已经完全被大家所接受了，而且色调上也不再局限于传统的米白、象牙白，连春夏常见的亮白色、银白色也完全四季皆宜了。

在色彩的搭配上，Miranda Kerr所穿的蓝、白、红以及Lily Collins身上极简的黑与白等都是经典的组合。我尤其喜欢Lily Collins的这件黑白撞色的皮草外套，和黑色的连身裤搭配起来，降低了皮草的正式感又能拉长腿型。

另外，今年红色又回潮了！就像小黑裙一样，每一个人一定有属于自己的那一款红。这个经典的颜色无论和中性的黑白灰，撞色的蓝、绿还是相近的粉或桔搭配起来都很漂亮，和纯白色配起来更是格外醒目。

Vest is a great transition piece for fall. It extends life of our beloved summer clothes, keeps us warm without adding bulk.
