In our forever-changing wardrobe, there are permanent residents we can’t live without–the wardrobe basics. Here are my wardrobe essentials worth the investment:

1. structured blazers; 2. classic button-down; 3. quintessential skinnies; 4. trusty shoes (be it a ballet flat, a classic pump or year-round booties); 5. impeccable coat; 6. badass leather pants; 7. motorcycle jacket; 8. versatile jumper; 9. statement bag; 10. signature sunglasses.

The best part? They are all in today’s featured fashion icons and trend setters.

In Chinese: 时尚易逝,“经典”永存。在我们女人季季更新的衣橱里总有那么几件是我们永远不会抛弃,也最可靠的“好朋友”,那就是衣橱必备的基本单品。在我看来,这10件是每个女人都该投资的:

1. 合体的西装外套; 2. 经典的白衬衫; 3. 合身的牛仔裤; 4. 舒适的鞋子 (可以是平底芭蕾鞋简洁的包鞋四季皆宜的踝靴); 5. 有品质感的羊毛外套; 6. 皮裤; 7. 机车夹克; 8.基本款毛衣; 9. 一款可背可提的手包; 10. 适合脸型的太阳镜

这几件都经常在今天所选的这三个超模(或前超模)的街拍中看到。你呢?你的衣橱必备有哪些?

Fall Essentials: Camel Coat & Knee High Boots

Wool coats are cold weather essentials. I especially love camel ones for their warm and cozy vibe. Another fall/winter must-have is knee-high or over-the-knee boots. You can wear them with skinny jeans, leggings, shorts or skirt.

When hunting for staple pieces like these, I prefer those with sleek silhouette and minimal details, like this Fay funnel neck coat and Stuart Weitzman leather boots spotted on Olivia Palermo above.

I also love how she makes these basic pieces current by letting the crisp white collar peep out. Layering a fur vest underneath is also a nice tip for staying warm yet stylish.

In Chinese: 羊毛外套一定是秋冬必备,我尤其偏爱棕色系,有温暖感,又很衬我们东方人的肤色。另一个秋冬必备是及膝或膝上靴,可以搭配牛仔裤、内搭裤、短裤或短裙,时尚又保暖。对于这些实穿的单品,投资时可以选择那些线条简洁,没有什么零碎装饰的款式,才能不退流行,比如名媛Olivia Palermo身上的这件Fay的立领大衣Stuart Weitzman最经典和最受欢迎的高筒靴

除了明智地选择单品外,Olivia Palermo的搭配技巧也一向是很值得我们学习的。今天的这两个造型里,她通过一件简单的白衬衫就把这些基础单品穿出了潮流感。另外,把皮草背心穿在大衣里也是既保暖又有层次感的好方法。

Menswear Chic: Bomber Jackets

Many of our beloved fashion staples are borrowed from the boys: pantsuit, trench coat, loafers…. and today’s featured iconic piece–the bomber jacket. Originally designed for Air Force pilots, bomber jacket is now deeply loved by women for its versatility, chic clean lines and leg-elongating cropped cut.

The best way to style menswear-inspired pieces is balancing them with feminine, sexy elements, be it a pair of skinny jeans, a scarlet lip, mini skirt, or sexy pointy toe pump. Olivia Palermo always goes one step further: how fashionable are these two bomber jackets on her? Love the edgy leather quilt and sophisticated color block on them!

我们的很多经典的时尚单品都是从男朋友们的衣橱里“借”来的,比如西服套装、经典的风衣、马丁靴等,还有今天我想分享的飞行员夹克。像它的名字所表明的,这种外套最初是为飞行员们保暖而设计的,但它的实用性、简洁的线条以及能拉长身形的短款设计让它迅速在我们女性的衣橱里赢得了一席之地。

这种男孩风单品的最好搭配方式是加入一些女性化的、或柔美或性感的元素,比如迷你裙,荷叶边的上衣、红唇或尖头包鞋等。除了搭配外,Olivia Palermo的这两件飞行员夹克更胜在细节:酷感十足的皮革拼接酒红色以及经典黑白的色块组合让她的look多了份精致和都市感。
