When investing in wardrobe staples, I always look for details: buttons on jackets, zippers on pants, buckles on shoes, pockets on plain tees, sleeve length of a sweater… those are what make all the difference. As you can see from today’s featured looks above of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: the pieces and colors on her are very simple, it’s the details and accessories make her outfits chic and fashionable.

Black blazer is definitely a must-have for everyone. This season, go for double-breasted version, extra bonus for those with exaggerated shoulders and nipped-in waist. As for the jumper? Cropped length is the way to go, as seen on SS2014 runways, this trend won’t go anywhere soon.

Isabel Marant is the “Chanel” for me. I’m obsessed with everything she designed, besides the beloved Caleen booties, this pair on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is edgy, sexy yet practical with the leather straps, pointy toe and easy walk heels. Combined with an It bag and fabulous sunglasses, these outfits can take you from the office to dinner.

在投资衣橱必备的基本单品时，我总是会找那些有细节设计的：外套上的纽扣，裤子上的拉链，鞋子上的搭环，T恤上的小口袋或毛衣袖子的长度等等都会在搭配时让整体更出彩。就像我们在Rosie Huntington-Whiteley的这两个造型中所看到的：她所选的单品和颜色都非常简单，但正是小细节及她所用的配饰使整个look简约而不简单，低调又彰显时尚品味。

黑色的西装外套是必备单品，这一季要投资的话，选择双排扣，有点垫肩而且略收腰的款式。至于秋冬我们都会屯的毛衣，短款是大热的版型，从刚结束的2014春夏时装周看来，这种潮流明年还会持续。

至于鞋款，每一双来自Isabel Marant的设计我都非常喜欢，除了极受追捧的Caleen铆钉踝靴外，Rosie Huntington-Whiteley所穿的这双也很值得投资，与Caleen的休闲感不同，尖头的设计，不同皮革的拼接和抢眼的搭环让这双踝靴个性中又不失女人味。配上经典的设计师包款，这些Look对于约会、出行、和朋友的聚餐以及不要求正式着装的办公室场合等都非常适合。

Black Dress: Day to Night

A little black dress is always the trusty piece we can throw on and go no matter trends. Today’s featured looks show us how to style it for day & night.

The first look above spotted on the street is fashionable and fun. The long-sleeves balance the bare legs, also make the dress great for transitional season. A Tassel bag and sneaker give the body-con dress more casual and relaxed vibe while the embellishment on the shoe and the gold belt adding an edgy, cool-girl touch.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s off-duty looks are sexy yet sophisticated. Here, the black Versus dress echoes the cut-out trend, but in a tasteful way thanks to the front gold buttons and the high neckline.

For a sexy dress like this, avoid pointy-toe pumps, go for modern strappy sandals. Gold accents on her dress, shoes and clutch add lux glamour and tie the whole outfit together.

无论潮流怎么变，小黑裙永远是我们衣橱里最信赖的单品。今天的两个look可以给我们一些灵感，把小黑裙穿得典雅又不失年轻和时尚感。

提到包身的迷你短裙，大家多会与晚上的约会或派对联系起来，但像上面的第一个街拍look所展示的一样，选择长袖降低露肤度，搭配上休闲的流苏斜跨包和帆布鞋，就可以把原本性感的小黑裙穿去逛街或和闺蜜聚餐。运动元素正当道，选择豹纹或铆钉装饰的运动鞋，加上抢眼的金色腰封，增加时尚度。

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley的look是经典的小黑裙穿法：搭配高跟鞋参加晚宴或派对。看似简单的搭配更要在细节上多留心：她所选的Versus的小黑裙呼应了本季大热的几何切割、镂空剪裁，腰际的纽扣和高领的设计让露肤度恰到好处，既典雅又不失性感。整身虽然颜色简单，但变化的细节和交错的线条以及裙子、鞋和手包上的金色点缀增加了高贵度和整体感。

Simple Chic: Jeans and Studded Booties

There are always lazy days when I don’t want to think about my outfit, just gravitate towards some simple yet trusty pieces, like a basic black top and favorite skinny jeans or denim shorts.

For omnipresent combo like this, as always, we need to rely on accessories to make them stand out. As Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Miranda Kerr showed here: a chic fedora, right-on-trend studded booties, eye-catching yet practical ‘It’ bags, fabulous sunglasses or even just a wipe of red lipstick can make a big difference.

Another trick learned from Miranda Kerr: if you are self-conscious about a certain back area like I do when wearing hot shorts (you know what I mean), tie something around your waist: a denim shirt, leather jacket, hoodies or cardigan, which will add details to an outfit while super practical when temperature changes.

In Chinese: 总有那么几天，出门前懒得去想该穿什么，习惯性地把手伸向衣橱里那些我最信任的单品：简单的黑白T和牛仔裤。但是要把这些太过于平常的搭配穿出彩，配饰总是必不可少的。就像今天的这两位街拍偶像示范的一样：无论是一顶绅士风格的小礼帽，一双大热的铆钉踝靴，还是抢眼又实用的IT包，都能瞬间提升即使是最简单的搭配。

一个小技巧：如果你也有和我一样的困扰，穿热裤的时候总是担心后面太短，那就像辣妈Miranda Kerr学习，系一个外套在腰间，不但可以增加层次感，当气温变化的时候也能保暖。
