On New Year’s Eve, I always want to wear something glittering & sparkle. Not only do they bring cheerness and joy, but also they bring me the excitement of the unknown, the courage to conquer what lies ahead.

Pair them with the accessories in the same tone to enhance the overall impact. As you can see above,  23 year-old Taylor Swift and 30 year-old Kate Bosworth gave metallics their own spin: one is tough and sexy while the other is demure and graceful. What will you wear?

In Chinese: 每年的跨年派对，我总喜欢穿一些闪亮的东西，比如亮片、金属等，穿起来不但很有节日气氛，而且能带给我对新一年的期盼和兴奋，它们仿佛是我的战袍，穿上它们，就有了勇气面对来年的新挑战。

跨年的时候怎么搭配都不过分，所以配饰、鞋子和手包等也大胆地选择同色系的金属来搭吧!这种“整套”的搭法这一季正流行，就像上面Taylor Swift和Kate Bosworth 所“示范”的一样。而且从她们的搭配也可以看出，金属、亮片也可以很多面哦：20出头的Taylor Swift的装扮酷帅又性感，30+的Kate Bosworth则把亮片穿得优雅乖巧。你跨年打算穿什么呢？

Winter Chic: Checks and Stripes

Fur or Faux fur pieces are cold weather essentials. They keep us stylish while shielding against winter chill. Today’s featured ladies gave us more fresh ideas of how to style these wardrobe staples:

Olivia Palermo mixed plaids to liven up her dark ensemble. Her relaxed pants work well in this outfit because the fur piece on her is a vest instead of a coat. The sheer blouse balances the loose silhouette while the eye-catching stilettos elongating her legs.

Alessandra Ambrosio’s striped fur coat is definitely the center piece, so she kept the others simple and quiet. The right-on-trend over-the-knee boots seen on her go great with mini skirt or shorts, exuding the right amount of sexiness. Check out how Kate Moss styled her striped fur coat for a glamorous evening look here!

In Chinese: 皮草是秋冬打造时尚又保暖造型的必备单品。除了搭配牛仔裤或打底裤外，还有什么新鲜的搭配方法吗？看看今天的这两个造型吧！

Olivia Palermo混搭了两种不同的格子图案给秋冬的暗沉色调增加了趣味。因为皮草本身具有膨胀感，所以我们一般搭配紧身的裤装，Olivia Palermo却选择了略宽松的款式，关键在于她的皮草单品是马甲，而且她用半透明的衬衫降低了潜在的臃肿感，她的裤装在脚踝处也做了收紧的处理，搭配上能拉长腿型的尖头高跟鞋，这种宽松加宽松的‘公式’才成立。

Alessandra Ambrosio的这件条纹的皮草大衣是整身最亮眼的单品。在保持其它的色彩相对简单低调的同时，她用休闲的牛仔短裤给皮草增加了些年轻活泼的元素。现在正红的膝上靴最好的穿搭伙伴是迷你裙或短裤，既拉长腿型又能展现恰到好处的性感。Kate Moss也曾穿过相似的条纹皮草大衣，还记得这个look吗？

Hip-Length Jackets: Day to Night

As a petite girl myself, I find that the most flattering jackets for me are cropped or hip-length ones. The latter are especially versatile for their seasonless apparel and easy-going vibe: they go great with almost anything, from dresses to leggings, from skinny jeans to wide-leg trousers; they add extra warmth without overwhelming our frame; they are also acceptable indoor & outdoor.

The only downside of hip-length jackets is they can cut our legs. To avoid that, cinch the coat at the waist with a belt or choose those already done for us like this fabulous Reiss jacket on Kate Middleton, which has the feminine fit and flare silhouette and sophisticated clean lines. Style savvy Olivia Palermo used a jeweled brooch to draw eyes up, which also help elongate her legs.

In Chinese: 娇小的女孩选择外套总是特别难。我本身个子也不高，发现有两种类型的大衣很修饰我们的身型：短款的或长到臀部的。尤其是刚好盖过臀部的款式实用又好搭：不分季节，室内室外都可以穿，而且和裙子、裤袜、牛仔裤，甚至阔腿裤都可以配。

这种长度的大衣唯一不好的地方在于会切断我们的腿型，所以选择收腰的款式很重要，比如王妃Kate Middleton身上的这件来自平价品牌Reiss的修身长外套，合身的剪裁、优雅的颜色和简洁的线条是她平时偏爱的穿衣风格。除了收腰款式或用腰带强调腰线外，街拍女王Olivia Palermo也提供了另外一个聪明的办法：用一枚抢眼的宝石胸针当作纽扣让视线停留在腰部，从而拉长了腿型，配上蛇纹的高跟鞋和彩色珠宝镶嵌的手包，就能瞬间把适合办公室的黑白造型转换成闪亮的派对着装。
