Throwback 70’s: Flared Jeans

Thanks to her slick middle-parted hair, structured tote and minimal detailed tops, Miranda Kerr made this 70’s flared jeans new and fresh. If you also favor this silhouette, I recommend looking for a pair lies somewhere between a flare and a bootcut. It’s flattering and very versatile. The length is also crucial. Wearing a crisp white trousers with frayed ends is not cool. Spend some time in front of the mirror, with the platform you plan to wear with the jeans, find the right length which should be within an inch or less of the ground. Some recommend wearing flared jeans with flats, I would say do so only if you have supermodel legs, but even super model like Miranda Kerr still went for platforms.

In Chinese: 喇叭裤是70年代风的代表。超模米兰达·可儿(Miranda Kerr)搭配上极简的大包和利落剪裁的衬衫,再加上流行的中分,把复古的喇叭裤穿出了现代感。喇叭裤是非常修身的一种裤型,如果你想尝试,我推荐微喇的版型,看起来像喇叭裤,又不那么夸张,既能拉长身形又非常实用,适合很多场合。裤长也非常重要,以离地半公分到一公分为宜。至于鞋子的选择,我个人还是倾向于高防水台的跟鞋,除非你有模特般的身高,但就像你今天看到的,即使是超模也选了恨天高,不是吗?

Sporty Luxe: Mesh Sweater & Track Pants

 Olivia Palermo style 2014, how to wear the sports trend.

This season is all about getting sporty. Two key words to keep in mind when rocking the sports trend: 1. ‘Inspired’, which means don’t take the trend too literally, leave your workout clothes inside the gym, shop for pieces that have a sporty touch, like the white sweater with mesh sleeves on Olivia Palermo (above left). 2. ‘Luxurious’. Designers have been taking sport pieces to another level with luxe materials like silk, crepe and cashmere. You can also upgrade yours by pairing them with glamorous counterparts like a sexy Christian Louboutin mesh pump or an eye-catching It bag.

In Chinese:  这一季运动风当道。要穿出潮感而不是像去健身房的路上,只要记住两个关键词:第一,运动元素。你要找的是包含运动元素但不是真正具有功能性的单品,比如在奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)这两个造型里看到的甜美的针织衫加入了运动风格的网状拼接。第二,奢华。这几季设计师们纷纷出招,运用奢华的面料,比如真丝绉绸喀什米尔给把平民化的运动单品注入了奢华感。如果不想投资这么贵的运动单品,你也可以通过搭配来提升奢华感,比如配上性感的高跟鞋炙手可热的品牌手包

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!
