A fashionable wardrobe is not completed without denim. For an evergreen material like this, I always look for interesting designs,  like the patchwork effect, lived-in vibe and fun overall silhouette seen on today’s featured denim pieces. I love how Olivia Palermo used this humble fabric to offset her graceful midi skirt, chic pinstripe shirt and glamorous metallic accessories, resulting two effortlessly chic outfits that are great for many summer activities: from a Sunday brunch, to a drive-in movie night, anywhere you want to stay comfortable with glamour.

In Chinese:   每一个时尚达人的衣橱里一定少不了各式的牛仔单品。对于这种不退流行的经典元素,就要在设计和剪裁上寻找新意,比如今天的这些牛仔单品上看到的不同水洗色的拼接完美的做旧效果以及正流行的连体廓形等等。牛仔的经典在于它和任何材质都可以混搭,从秋冬的皮草到春夏的雪纺。奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)就用低调的牛仔来平衡这几季流行的大伞裙,用童趣的背带裤中和男士衬衫的硬朗。这两个造型舒适又有型,适合很多夏日活动,比如约会或看汽车电影等。

On scorching summer days, all we want is a flowy maxi dress, slip on, we are ready, or almost: For effortless dressing like this, you need to put a little more effort in: a pair of trendy shades, edgy sandals, an eye-catching bag or dainty jewelry… it’s the extras that make a simple maxi stand out.

In Chinese: 一条飘逸的吊带长裙是酷暑的首选。连鞋子都盖住的摇曳及地款更是套上就可以出门的清凉必备。但是时尚往往要拧着来,花了心思的要看起来像没有花心思,反正,像这种傻瓜穿搭就需要加些功夫才能脱颖而出,比如简单的一件式长裙加上潮派太阳镜、酷酷的铆钉鞋出挑的小包精巧的细手环等等。

Throwback 70’s: Flared Jeans

Thanks to her slick middle-parted hair, structured tote and minimal detailed tops, Miranda Kerr made this 70’s flared jeans new and fresh. If you also favor this silhouette, I recommend looking for a pair lies somewhere between a flare and a bootcut. It’s flattering and very versatile. The length is also crucial. Wearing a crisp white trousers with frayed ends is not cool. Spend some time in front of the mirror, with the platform you plan to wear with the jeans, find the right length which should be within an inch or less of the ground. Some recommend wearing flared jeans with flats, I would say do so only if you have supermodel legs, but even super model like Miranda Kerr still went for platforms.

In Chinese: 喇叭裤是70年代风的代表。超模米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)搭配上极简的大包和利落剪裁的衬衫,再加上流行的中分,把复古的喇叭裤穿出了现代感。喇叭裤是非常修身的一种裤型,如果你想尝试,我推荐微喇的版型,看起来像喇叭裤,又不那么夸张,既能拉长身形又非常实用,适合很多场合。裤长也非常重要,以离地半公分到一公分为宜。至于鞋子的选择,我个人还是倾向于高防水台的跟鞋,除非你有模特般的身高,但就像你今天看到的,即使是超模也选了恨天高,不是吗?
