Apple or Pear

Oh, the infinite joys of black and white! Peplum, wrap effect, drape design, leather, silk, satin, twill…so many interesting details and materials have been used to constantly reinterpret this classic combo, we haven’t counted the endless ways to accessorize it!

Here, Sophia Bush & Kim Kardashian modeled two different body types rocking this palette: Sophia Bush’s slightly boxy cut peplum top hides tummy bulge while skinny leather pants highlight lean legs, this outfit is great for an apple shape body.

Kim Kardashian’s ‘smart’ pants conceal her wide hips and make her legs look long and lean, thanks to the draped faith connexion, angled cuffs and flowy charmeuse material! The wrap effect blouse draws attention to her beautiful face. This outfit is great for a curvy and pear shape body.

In Chinese: 黑白配之所以经典在于它有太多的花样可以去变化、去玩,比如今天的这两个造型里看到的荷叶边、包裹或垂坠的设计,还有皮革、织纹、丝等不同面料的混搭,更不用说那些数不清的配饰了。

另外,今天所选的这两位明星还代表了不同的体型:索菲亚·布什(Sophia Bush)的这件硬挺材质的上衣加上荷叶边的装饰能遮盖小腹,紧腿皮裤又凸显了细长腿的优势,很适合苹果身形。丰满女星的代表金·卡戴珊(Kim Kardashian)的这条裤子更有心机,类似哈伦裤的前片可以遮小腹,脚踝处斜裁的设计和亚光的丝滑材质又起到了拉长身形的作用,很适合胯宽或大腿肉肉的梨形身材。

Spice Up Your Black Ensemble

How to wear black and white,   On Olivia Palermo March 31 2014: Rachel Zoe short sleeve coat, Christian Dior lady dior white purse, Hudson side stripe Jeans, Ralph Lauren Black Long-Sleeved Mesh Top.Photos: Olivia Palermo; Courtesy of splashnewsonline.com.

Why I love the look: It’s a little bit of everything: classic yet trendy, comfy yet polished, chic and sexy, with a hint of sporty and fun.

Shopping Tips: 
Look for basic pieces with interesting details: black skinny jeans with side stripes, black top but see-through, classic coat with chic short sleeves
Speaking of short sleeve coat, it’s perfect for between-seasons, and it’s a wonderful item to play with: you can wear lace, leather, chiffon, or fun prints like leopard, camo and stripes underneath it to create endless combos.

In Chinese:  街拍女王奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这个造型简约而不简单,看似平淡的黑白配,却融合了透视、运动、印花等很多流行元素,利落又性感,舒适且潮味十足。

挑选经典单品中带有出挑的细节设计或新一季的元素是打造这种风格的关键。比如这件在她的街拍中出现过很多次的短袖风衣,不仅是换季时的必备,而且通过内搭不同材质,比如蕾丝、雪纺、皮革等,不同图案比如豹纹、迷彩、条纹等等,可以变换出很多新造型。

Crop Top for Any Age

Crop tops are a huge trend this year. How to wear them in a tasteful way, better yet, at any age? Take a hint from 20s Jennifer Lawrence and 40s Cate Blanchett:

Pick understated, sophisticated colors like black, white or grey, team them with high-waisted midi skirts or trousers. To reinvent the crop trend without the dated 60s vibe, add a dash of extra wattage with mod accessories, like oversized resin link necklace, high-impact black and white pump, rumpled hair and fresh face.

In Chinese: 对于大热的短款露脐装,不知道大家是不是有和我一样的疑问:怎么搭配能更端庄些?什么年纪都能穿吗?今天所选的这两个来自23岁的当红影星Jennifer Lawrence和40多岁的Cate Blanchett的造型显然能帮我们解答:

颜色的选择很重要,相比亮色系,经典低调的黑白灰更容易挑战,搭配高腰的伞裙、铅笔长裙或长裤降低露肤度。最后利用线条简洁但有存在感的配饰增加现代感,比如在这两个好莱坞明星的搭配中看到的大的几何链条项链波纹的包鞋等。随性的发型和清新的妆容也能提升整体气质。
