A sweet floral dress combined with tough ankle boots is my favorite summer night look! Classic yet modern, sweet and edgy. Since ankle boots can cut you off, making the legs look shorter, the length of the dress and some styling tricks are very important. Look at the style savvy above, it’s not by chance that they both chose dresses 3 inches above the knee. A coordinating belt or high waist design further elongates the legs. With a pair of cool shades and hands-free crossbody bag, think of nothing but enjoying your night!

In Chinese: 碎花洋装搭配上帅气的踝靴是我最喜欢的造型，可以从春天一直穿到早秋，参加夏日晚上的户外派对也最适合不过。这个搭配经典又有潮感，甜美又率性。但踝靴有个最大的问题就是会截断我们的小腿，所以选择合适的裙长再搭配一些造型技巧就非常重要，比如上面的这两个造型，她们都选了膝上约三公分的裙长，这个长度适合大多数身形。除了裙长外，高腰及收腰的剪裁也很重要，或搭配上一条彩色的细腰带，都可以在强调腰线的同时拉长腿型。配上酷酷的太阳镜和斜挎的小包，就能轻松享受夏日派对了。

An unexpected, crisp and oh-so-chic summer look from Olivia Palermo. We have seen her in mixed checks here. For this look she combined them with another classic pattern–plaids. The various directions of the lines add charm and modern vibe to the look. Menswear loafer toughens up the flowy shirt and flirty peplum hem skirt while an embellished clutch bag adding just right amount of color, glamour and luxe touch. This is a very versatile look that is great for casual or dressy occasions.

In Chinese: 又一个来自纽约街拍女王奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的清爽夏日搭配。还记得上次她穿小方格的造型吗？这次她把两种完全不同的格纹混搭在一起，线条的变化给黑白色的单品注入了动感。男士风的尖头皮鞋平衡了小女人味的褶边迷你裙。串珠和流苏装饰的宝蓝色手包加入了恰到好处的色彩点缀和奢华感。这个造型休闲正式皆相宜，帅性又不失甜美。

A summer wardrobe won’t be complete without a great pair of denim cutoffs. One Teaspoon has the coolest pairs that are widely loved by celebrities and fashion bloggers. This pair is my personal favorite. I adore the undone hem, shredded holes and the retro wash. My favorite parts are the flattering high-rise and the cut: The outseam length is shorter than inseam length, which help elongate our legs. Pair it with something not too casual like the sexy pinched waist knit tank on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or the tailored blazer on Alessandra Ambrosio. Finish the look with some gold accents. This season, the classic black/gold combination is back!

In Chinese: 夏天的衣橱当然少不了一条好的牛仔短裤。平价品牌One Teaspoon的破洞仔裤深受明星和时尚博主的追捧。这一条经典款有它标志性的仿旧处理和复古水洗。我最喜欢的是它中高腰的设计和很重要一个拉长腿型的细节：外短内长的剪裁。对这种街头风十足的酷帅单品，搭配上女人味的修身针织背心或正式感的西装外套，更有时尚感。配饰就选择金色来呼应这一季又回来的黑金风潮吧！
