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！

Throwback College Life

Somehow these two looks take me back to my college years. When the youthful denim is paired with innocent colors like crisp white, powder blue or baby pink, it results an outfit that instantly makes us look and feel 10 years younger. Since we have gone so far from there, show off our hard work with enviable add-ons, like a pair of luxurious loafers or an on-trend handbag.

In Chinese: 今天的这两个造型把我带回了大学时代。单宁特有的年轻感搭配上清爽的白色或少女味十足的浅粉、浅蓝，能立即减龄10岁。“装嫩”的打扮就不要再配上学生味浓厚的球鞋或芭蕾平底鞋了，选择性感的尖头包鞋或奢华风的麂皮乐福鞋，加上当下最夯的背包，那种冲突的美是只有我们熟龄女才能驾驭的。

What You Need This Summer

A printed over-the-knee skirt and a maxi dress really are the only two pieces you need this summer— one for the office, the other for off-duty. For the over-the-knee skirt, you can choose either a pencil-shape or a full skirt version like the one on Jessica Alba (above left). I prefer the latter: It covers offending areas and flatters almost any body shape. Pick a colorful floral version, and pair it with any solid top lying in your closet. The styling part is even easier for a printed maxi dress: You don’t need any jewelry since the print is already very eye-catching. You even don’t need to think about shoes because they hide underneath most of the time. Grab your favorite sunglasses (my favorite here!), and you are good to go!

In Chinese: 其实今年夏天，只要投资两条漂亮的印花裙就可以轻松度过了：一条过膝的半身裙上班或约会时穿，一条拖地长裙晚上或周末穿。关于前者，一般有两种廓形：包身的铅笔裙或大伞裙。前者很挑身材。后者因为盖住了很多问题部位，适合各种身材的美眉。关于颜色，选择多彩的印花吧，这样就能和你衣橱里任何一件单色的T恤或坦克背心搭配了。至于后者–印花的拖地长裙，配起来就更简单了。因为图案本身就很吸引人，所以不用考虑配件。鞋子也大部分时候都藏在裙子下，也不用考虑。只要带上酷酷的太阳镜，就可以出门了!
