Since the ‘No white after Labor Day’ rule has been broken, let’s learn some tips on how to style our favorite white pieces this fall/winter:

Either the timeless white or sweet pastels (which are a huge trend this season), it’s the materials that count. Pick pieces made of wool, jacquard, leather, knit, suede or thick denim.

Pair them with clothes or accessories in rich jewel tones or dark neutrals to add that season-appropriate vibe, like the grey bag, black suede pump and golden brown printed pants on Miranda Kerr.

Bonus points for adding some trendy elements or eye-catching prints to your outfit: be it a bomber jacket, a beanie, a leather backpack or botanical or leopard print.

秋冬穿白色或冰激淋色已经不是什么新鲜事了，今天就来学学今年秋冬怎么搭配这些粉嫩色系吧：

在选择浅色单品的时候，挑选羊毛、皮革、针织或厚的单宁等保暖的面料，搭配上秋冬常见的深珠宝色或暗的中性色系的服饰，像Miranda Kerr身上的深灰色的手包、黑色包头鞋、金棕色的几何印花裤等。

如果能引入一些应季的流行元素或图案就更出彩了：比如飞行员夹克、针织帽、肩背包、数位印花、或每年秋冬都会流行的豹纹等。

Colored blazer is a versatile piece we can wear for the office and weekend, I especially love cobalt blue version, because the color is eye-catching yet sophisticated, easy-going and ultra flattering. Did I mention that it’s the hottest color this season?

Last time, we shared how to style a blue blazer for warm weather (remember those gorgeous sandals, cute prints and distressed jeans? ). Today’s featured looks of Emma Stone & Jessica Alba showed us how to wear it for late summer and fall:

Dark colors and earthy tones are our go-tos for cold weather, and cobalt blue goes perfectly with those shades, like the grey, black, and rich brown showed on today’s featured stars; Accessories are always a quick, easy and affordable way to update any look. Here, Emma Stone opted for right-in beanie and menswear-inspired oxford to make the classic black/blue combination look fresh and updated while hot mom Jessica Alba chose red mirror sunglasses and statement jewelry for an edgy yet glamorous finishing touch.

彩色西装外套抢眼又百搭，上班休闲皆相宜。在众多的选择里我尤其偏爱宝蓝色，因为这个颜色既有活力又不失庄重，而且不分季节，也不挑肤色，刚好又是这个秋冬大热的颜色。上次我分享了一些春夏如何搭配宝蓝色西服的小贴士，这次我们从Emma Stone 和 Jessica Alba的这两个造型里学学在秋冬怎么穿它吧！

深色和大地色系是秋冬最常见的颜色，宝蓝色和这些颜色搭配起来都非常出彩，比如你在Emma Stone 和 Jessica Alba身上看到的黑、灰和棕色。这些基本色和宝蓝色的搭配是我们每季都可以拿出来穿的组合，要穿出潮流感，就要靠配饰了。Emma Stone所选的有运动元素的针织帽和中性帅气的牛津鞋都是今年秋冬大热的单品。或者像辣妈Jessica Alba一样，用撞色的眩光太阳镜和个性的金属饰品给经典的蓝黑搭配增加活力。

How To Style: Statement Pants

Bold printed pants have been on trend since last year, with new elements added, such as pajama, geometric pattern and sporty trends, these beloved printed pants have been constantly reinvented.

I initially had reservations about this type of pants because they tend to make our legs look wider and shorter, but with more and more options for different prints, cuts and materials, we can totally nail this trend while looking slim and effortlessly chic. Gwen Stefani & Miranda Kerr showed us how:

Choose “smart” prints, like the Peige one on Gwen Stefani, it looks like her legs are the same width as the print, the black side stripes also help to slim her legs; Go for high waisted version, it’s more flattering, especially when you choose loose fit one like the pair on Miranda Kerr; Opt for shoes in the same color family as the pants or a classic pointy-toe pump, both will help elongate legs; Pair them with plain tops, let the pants do the talk.

花朵、几何图案的印花裤从去年开始就很流行了，这几季在加入了新的元素后，这种裤型更受欢迎。我刚开始对印花裤敬而远之，总觉得会显腿粗，但是随着选择越来越多，挑到图案抢眼又时尚，而且修饰身形的印花裤已经不是什么难事了，我们可以从Gwen Stefani 和 Miranda Kerr上面的这两个造型里学到一些挑选和搭配的小技巧：

选择“有心机”的图案，Gwen Stefani身上的这条就很有巧思，视觉上她的腿只有中间内侧的几何图案那么纤细，另外，侧边的两条黑色直条纹也像给腿部打了阴影，更加强了显瘦的效果。高腰款式是拉长腿部线条的不二选择，尤其是穿像Miranda Kerr的这种宽松横条纹裤。在鞋子的选择上，和裤身同色系的鞋或经典的尖头高跟鞋也能使腿看起来更修长。
