Run out of ideas for styling your black pieces? Miranda Kerr & Olivia Palermo wowed us again by spicing up their basic black pieces with hottest trends & to-die-for accessories. Here is how:

Add one trendy, eye-catching print to break up a dark ensemble. The tartan jacket on Miranda Kerr echoes the punk trend but in a more sophisticated way while the marble printed top on Olivia Palermo introducing the next hottest pattern spotted on the latest runway.

Use accessories to update basic black pieces while giving them different characters: The Isabel Marant booties and classic quilted leather tote add an edgy yet sexy vibe to Miranda Kerr’s outfit; A camouflage tassel pump and studded white bag add unexpected juxtaposition to Olivia Palermo’s city chic look.

Play with textures: mix elegant tweed with tough leather, juxtapose delicate silk against chunky knit or heavy metal. Be creative and have fun!

黑色的单品我们每年秋冬都会穿，这一季怎么穿出新鲜、时尚感又不失我们自己的风格？Miranda Kerr 和Olivia Palermo最近在巴黎时装周期间的这两个糅合了最新潮流趋势的造型能给我们一些灵感：

在基本的黑色look中引入一两个最新的图案打破黑色的沉闷感。Miranda Kerr身上的呢格纹是经典的庞克元素，这一季设计师赋予了庞克风精良的都市感。Olivia Palermo所穿的大理石图案也将是下一季的热捧。

用配饰给经典款的黑色单品加入更多当季的元素，也能方便快速地变换风格。Miranda Kerr所穿的目前最受追捧的来自Isabel Marant的尖头拼接踝靴和香奈儿包呼应了皮裤和丝袜搭配的酷帅和性感；Olivia Palermo的迷彩流苏高跟鞋和铆钉包也使原本优雅的look更具时尚和个性。

混搭不同的材质也能让整身暗色调的搭配更富层次感，比如用优雅的粗呢外套去搭配酷帅的皮裤或二手的破洞牛仔装，用精致的丝缎或蕾丝搭配宽松的针织衫或铆钉装饰的庞克风配件等。

A nice coat is definitely an investment-worthy piece, especially for fall/winter. Like my mom always told me: as long as you have a fabulous coat, you will look great no matter what you wear under.

This fall, cocoon is still one of the hottest coat shape. This one spotted on two style-conscious supermodels Miranda Kerr & Lily Aldridge instantly caught my eye: The hip grazing length is versatile, can be worn with anything from dress, skirt to leggings and pants; The sophisticated gray color is timeless, let alone the marble-like texture, which we’ve seen a lot on the latest runways; The slightly oversized shape has that popular sporty element, is right-on-trend and very flattering.

外套是最值得投资的基本单品，尤其到了秋冬。小的时候妈妈就常告诉我，一定要买好的外套，无论你里面穿什么，看起来都会很漂亮。

今年秋冬，宽松的可可呢大衣仍是大热的版型，最近在时尚超模Miranda Kerr 和Lily Aldridge身上看到的这件灰白色的外套吸引了我。刚好到臀部的长度非常百搭又修饰身形，从牛仔裤到裙子到内搭裤都可以配; 低调优雅的灰白色即能点亮整身look又不失秋冬的温暖感，织纹又很像明年会流行的大理石的图案；宽松的设计恰到好处，即有男友风外套的帅性感，肩部及领片的设计又展现了女性的柔美。

How To Style: Statement Pants

Bold printed pants have been on trend since last year, with new elements added, such as pajama, geometric pattern and sporty trends, these beloved printed pants have been constantly reinvented.

I initially had reservations about this type of pants because they tend to make our legs look wider and shorter, but with more and more options for different prints, cuts and materials, we can totally nail this trend while looking slim and effortlessly chic. Gwen Stefani & Miranda Kerr showed us how:

Choose “smart” prints, like the Peige one on Gwen Stefani, it looks like her legs are the same width as the print, the black side stripes also help to slim her legs; Go for high waisted version, it’s more flattering, especially when you choose loose fit one like the pair on Miranda Kerr; Opt for shoes in the same color family as the pants or a classic pointy-toe pump, both will help elongate legs; Pair them with plain tops, let the pants do the talk.

花朵、几何图案的印花裤从去年开始就很流行了，这几季在加入了新的元素后，这种裤型更受欢迎。我刚开始对印花裤敬而远之，总觉得会显腿粗，但是随着选择越来越多，挑到图案抢眼又时尚，而且修饰身形的印花裤已经不是什么难事了，我们可以从Gwen Stefani 和 Miranda Kerr上面的这两个造型里学到一些挑选和搭配的小技巧：

选择“有心机”的图案，Gwen Stefani身上的这条就很有巧思，视觉上她的腿只有中间内侧的几何图案那么纤细，另外，侧边的两条黑色直条纹也像给腿部打了阴影，更加强了显瘦的效果。高腰款式是拉长腿部线条的不二选择，尤其是穿像Miranda Kerr的这种宽松横条纹裤。在鞋子的选择上，和裤身同色系的鞋或经典的尖头高跟鞋也能使腿看起来更修长。
