When I read the news that it took designer Marcus Wainwright a whole year to develop the now widely loved Boy Tee, I was not surprised. I’m very picky when it comes to white tees, and always on the hunt for that perfect one, I know how hard it is. When I find the right one, I do not hesitate to stock up even before I check the price tag–For me, it’s priceless: A perfect white tee makes me feel great every time I wear it; It goes with everything, fits any occasion and can be worn year round, on its own or layered. It makes dressing in the morning less daunting, because I know that when everything else fails, I can always count on my perfect white tee. Besides my new favorite Boy Tee, J.Crew and T by Alexander Wang are also my go-to places for the right one. Next on my wishlist? This make-you-feel-like-a-million-bucks one by The Row.

In Chinese: 当我前段时间在时尚资讯里读到瑞格布恩的设计师马可斯·温莱特(Marcus Wainwright)花了一年的时间研发设计了这款现在被时尚博主们热捧的男孩风白T恤时，我一点也不惊讶，因为作为白T恤的狂热追捧者，我深知找到一款完美的白T恤有多难。如果有合适的，我会不计价格地囤起来。对我来说，衣橱里必不可少的单品里第一件就是完美的纯白T恤：它和任何单品都可以搭配而且几乎可以穿去任何场合（像红毯或正式晚宴等场合当然需要其它单品的辅助），而且四季都能穿。有了一件完美的白T在衣橱，出门前少了很多紧张，因为当感觉穿什么都不对的时候，把它拖出来准没错。J.Crew和T by Alexander Wang也是我囤货的必去之地。我理想的终极白T恤？这件让你穿上感觉像百万富翁的奢华版！

Two office-friendly looks for you today: Taylor Swift made a trendy crop top and peg leg pants office-appropriate thanks to her smart choices of color, fabric and elevated accessories. Angelina Jolie took an opposite approach by making traditional work-wardrobe staples (from cigarette pants to black pumps) fashionable and glamorous with hot sunglasses and gold accents.

In Chinese: 今天的这两个造型很适合上班族。小天后泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)把流行的短款上衣和老爷裤穿出了正式感，关键在于她所选的颜色，单品的硬挺材质以及有正式感的包包和鞋子。安吉丽娜·朱莉(Angelina Jolie)则刚好相反，用潮感十足的太阳镜和这一季正火的黑金搭配让传统的办公室“制服”多了份时髦和新鲜。 chic work outfit ideas 2014, Featured: 1.

Spring/Summer Outfits 2014 Photos: Cheryl Cole & Taylor Swift; Courtesy of Xposure Photos, Startraks Photo.

Wearing head to toe white can make us look washed out. Cheryl Cole varied textures (from sheer to lace) and hues (from cream to nude) while Taylor Swift opted for soft pastels (from buttercup yellow to polignac pink). The bright blue sunglasses and scarlet lips add a pop of color to their outfits, respectively.

In Chinese: 春夏穿白色显得很清爽。但从头到脚一身纯白，不但难驾驭，而且穿不好会显气色很差。谢丽尔·科尔(Cheryl Cole) 和小天后泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)的这两个造型教会了我们怎么穿浅色：谢丽尔·科尔(Cheryl Cole) 选择了不同的面料（从丝、雪纺混搭的透视上衣到蕾丝运动裤）以及不同的色调（有纯白、米白和裸肤色等）带来层次感。泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)则用从米黄到浅紫等淡淡的马卡龙色打造复古优雅的乖乖女造型。蓝色的眩光太阳镜和亮红的唇彩给整体的浅色造型注入了活力。
