Wearing white in fall/winter is modern and fashionable, but can be quite challenging. The key is to balance it with dark, rich shades and prints, combining with warm and luxe textures, like the black & leopard accents, and a mix of jacquard, tweed, leather and haircalf spotted on today’s featured ladies.

I also love how these two icons took their looks to the next level: Blake Lively gave her crisp monochrome ensemble a futuristic vibe with a silver bag and mirrored sunglasses while Miranda Kerr offset her ladylike tweed jacket with a pair of heavy distressed jeans and comfy loafers.

In Chinese: 这几季的潮流打破了色彩的季节感，春夏穿黑灰，秋冬穿粉或白已经不是什么新鲜事了，但是寒冷的季节穿这么浅的颜色还是很具挑战性的。搭配的关键在于用深暗色调、和秋冬常见的动物纹以及温暖的材质来增加季节感，像Blake Lively 和 Miranda Kerr今天的这两个造型里看到的黑色和豹纹的单品，以及提花、粗呢、皮革和马毛等颇具温暖感的材质。

此外，个性的配饰或者有强烈对比的组合也能提升整个造型的新意和潮流感，比如Blake Lively用银色的手拿包和同色的眩光太阳镜给经典的黑白造型以未来感；Miranda Kerr则用一条破洞牛仔裤和平底鞋把典雅的花呢夹克穿出了带有些许庞克风的随意街头感。

I love analyzing model’s off-duty looks. Oftentimes, we see them on the most basic and simple wardrobe staples that get elevated by teaming with one or two key pieces: be it an IT bag, fabulous sunglasses, killer stilettos, scarlet lips, or just that confident attitude.

In Chinese: 我最喜欢超模的街拍造型，一个主要原因是她们常常能把我们衣橱也都有的最基本、最平常的单品穿出令人咂舌的效果，除了很棒的身材外，出色的配饰也是她们提升这些极简单品的关键，比如在她们身上常看到的最夯的设计师手包，最酷的太阳镜或踝靴，别致的发型、妆容或者仅仅是她们自信从容的步伐和舍我其谁的态度。

Thanks to the strong black and white trend, not only the traditional winter white shades like eggshell and cream are totally acceptable, the bright whites we usually see in summer are also can, and should be embraced in winter now. A crisp white piece can instantly make a monochrome look modern, sharp and chic.

Here, Miranda Kerr chose the classic white, blue and red color theme, while Lily Collins demonstrated the black & white simplicity. The faux fur coat on Lily Collins is colorblocked, combined with a black jumpsuit, making the stodgy fur youthful and flattering.

I’m glad that the red trend is back this fall. You can team it with almost any color, the combination of red and white is especially fresh and uplifting.

In Chinese: 感谢这几季强劲的黑白风，现在秋冬穿白色的概念已经完全被大家所接受了，而且色调上也不再局限于传统的米白、象牙白，连春夏常见的亮白色、银白色也完全四季皆宜了。

在色彩的搭配上，Miranda Kerr所穿的蓝、白、红以及Lily Collins身上极简的黑与白等都是经典的组合。我尤其喜欢Lily Collins的这件黑白撞色的皮草外套，和黑色的连身裤搭配起来，降低了皮草的正式感又能拉长腿型。

另外，今年红色又回潮了！就像小黑裙一样，每一个人一定有属于自己的那一款红。这个经典的颜色无论和中性的黑白灰，撞色的蓝、绿还是相近的粉或桔搭配起来都很漂亮，和纯白色配起来更是格外醒目。
