Since the ‘No white after Labor Day’ rule has been broken, let’s learn some tips on how to style our favorite white pieces this fall/winter:

Either the timeless white or sweet pastels (which are a huge trend this season), it’s the materials that count. Pick pieces made of wool, jacquard, leather, knit, suede or thick denim.

Pair them with clothes or accessories in rich jewel tones or dark neutrals to add that season-appropriate vibe, like the grey bag, black suede pump and golden brown printed pants on Miranda Kerr.

Bonus points for adding some trendy elements or eye-catching prints to your outfit: be it a bomber jacket, a beanie, a leather backpack or botanical or leopard print.

秋冬穿白色或冰激淋色已经不是什么新鲜事了，今天就来学学今年秋冬怎么搭配这些粉嫩色系吧：

在选择浅色单品的时候，挑选羊毛、皮革、针织或厚的单宁等保暖的面料，搭配上秋冬常见的深珠宝色或暗的中性色系的服饰，像Miranda Kerr身上的深灰色的手包、黑色包头鞋、金棕色的几何印花裤等。

如果能引入一些应季的流行元素或图案就更出彩了：比如飞行员夹克、针织帽、肩背包、数位印花、或每年秋冬都会流行的豹纹等。

While looking for new ways to restyle my suit separates in more fresh ways, I found these two looks of Olivia Palermo are very inspiring:

The cherry color of her blazer is sophisticated but still have that eye-catching effect, let alone the great fit, the classic & flattering one-button design and friendly price tag.

Pairing the blazer with jeans and flats is not something new, but again, it’s the details make Olivia Palermo’s look stand out: the color block on her top, distressed and well-worn vibe of her jeans, python print on her flat and vintage look of her bag.

When dressing the blazer up, instead of going matchy-matchy, look for pants or skirts that has the very similar color but with interesting details/textures or different material, like the leather version on Palermo.

Instead of a regular pump, go for a printed or embellished pointy toe flat, which has the same professional look, but add a trendy and youthful touch, also shows off your character.

我们衣橱里一定都有几套正式的套装，整套搭配起来太过严肃和呆板，我常常会把套装中的一件和衣橱里的其它单品混搭起来，Olivia Palermo的这两个look可以给我们一些适合休闲及正式场合的混搭灵感。

她所选的藕荷色的西装外套（现在正打折！）比糖果色优雅正式，和传统的黑蓝灰比起来又更时尚抢眼。Olivia Palermo常穿来自Reiss这个牌子的单品，设计经典简约又不乏大胆前卫的元素，价格又非常合理。

这种休闲正式皆相宜的西装外套我们都会想到搭配T恤或牛仔裤，但Olivia Palermo的这个休闲的look胜在细节：撞色细节真丝背心，破洞的仿旧水洗九分裤，蛇纹的芭蕾鞋配上猫眼墨镜和大的复古皮革包。

要穿去正式场合时，挑选和外套颜色相近但材质独特或有设计细节的裤装或裙子做搭配：比如Olivia Palermo所穿的这条来自另个品牌The Row的皮裤呼应了今年秋冬流行的淡雅色系及皮革风。

鞋款的选择上，低跟、男士鞋款、尖头、金属装饰等都是这一季的关键词。这个豹纹的铆钉装饰尖头平底鞋是本季的必备，百搭又彰显个性。

Summer To Fall Transition: Leather Jacket

Tank top and comfy jeans/shorts are our go-to pieces for summer. An outerwear is all we need to transform the combo for fall: Throw on a leather moto jacket for a tough, cool-girl look; Go for a structured blazer for a polished, office-friendly look; Top off with a trench coat for a classic, urban chic look; Or opt for an army/bomber jacket for that casual, sporty & carefree vibe.

Classic basic pieces also create the perfect canvas for accessories: add flirty prints or bright colors through your shoes or makeup; or highlight an enviable “It” bag.

简单的坦克背心和牛仔裤是我们春夏常穿的搭配，初秋时，只需要加一件外套就能继续穿这些简单又舒适的单品了：如果想要酷帅感，就来件黑色的机车皮夹克；想要有些正式感，西装外套再适合不过。经典的卡其风衣可以打造优雅又简约的都市风，军旅或牛仔外套添了份随性与休闲，飞行员外套则时尚又动感。

如果你的服装颜色和线条都很简洁，就可以通过饰品或妆容增加些大胆、有趣的图案或明亮的色彩。另外简单的服装也能最好地展示你心爱的手包或新款的鞋子。
