Apple or Pear

Oh, the infinite joys of black and white! Peplum, wrap effect, drape design, leather, silk, satin, twill…so many interesting details and materials have been used to constantly reinterpret this classic combo, we haven’t counted the endless ways to accessorize it!

Here, Sophia Bush & Kim Kardashian modeled two different body types rocking this palette: Sophia Bush’s slightly boxy cut peplum top hides tummy bulge while skinny leather pants highlight lean legs, this outfit is great for an apple shape body.

Kim Kardashian’s ‘smart’ pants conceal her wide hips and make her legs look long and lean, thanks to the draped faith connexion, angled cuffs and flowy charmeuse material! The wrap effect blouse draws attention to her beautiful face. This outfit is great for a curvy and pear shape body.

In Chinese: 黑白配之所以经典在于它有太多的花样可以去变化、去玩,比如今天的这两个造型里看到的荷叶边、包裹或垂坠的设计,还有皮革、织纹、丝等不同面料的混搭,更不用说那些数不清的配饰了。

另外,今天所选的这两位明星还代表了不同的体型:索菲亚·布什(Sophia Bush)的这件硬挺材质的上衣加上荷叶边的装饰能遮盖小腹,紧腿皮裤又凸显了细长腿的优势,很适合苹果身形。丰满女星的代表金·卡戴珊(Kim Kardashian)的这条裤子更有心机,类似哈伦裤的前片可以遮小腹,脚踝处斜裁的设计和亚光的丝滑材质又起到了拉长身形的作用,很适合胯宽或大腿肉肉的梨形身材。

Kate Crush

I have a girl crush on Kate. Sorry, Kate moss’ fans, I mean the Duchess of Cambridge. Probably I had my first son the same month Kate Middleton did, or probably every girl has a Cinderella’s dream.

She has the ability to make trends her own while being status-appropriate. This coat by Alexander McQueen is graceful and elegant yet trendy and flirty thanks to the fresh right-in color and peplum detail.

In Chinese: 我承认我是个凯特迷。凯特莫斯的粉丝们,对不起了,我指的是凯特王妃。可能因为我们在同一个月升级成了母亲,迎来了自己生命里的小王子,对她当母亲以后的生活就格外关注,更多可能因为每个女孩的心里多多少少都有个水晶鞋的梦想吧。

凯特王妃总是可以不露痕迹、用她的独特的凯特风格得体地展现流行风潮。比如这件来自王妃喜欢的品牌亚历山大·麦昆(Alexander McQueen) 的刍纱外套,经典的款式结合了当季最流行的颜色和女人味的荷叶边装饰,优雅又抢眼。

Spice Up Your Black Ensemble

How to wear black and white,   On Olivia Palermo March 31 2014: Rachel Zoe short sleeve coat, Christian Dior lady dior white purse, Hudson side stripe Jeans, Ralph Lauren Black Long-Sleeved Mesh Top.Photos: Olivia Palermo; Courtesy of splashnewsonline.com.

Why I love the look: It’s a little bit of everything: classic yet trendy, comfy yet polished, chic and sexy, with a hint of sporty and fun.

Shopping Tips: 
Look for basic pieces with interesting details: black skinny jeans with side stripes, black top but see-through, classic coat with chic short sleeves
Speaking of short sleeve coat, it’s perfect for between-seasons, and it’s a wonderful item to play with: you can wear lace, leather, chiffon, or fun prints like leopard, camo and stripes underneath it to create endless combos.

In Chinese:  街拍女王奥利维亚·巴勒莫 (Olivia Palermo)的这个造型简约而不简单,看似平淡的黑白配,却融合了透视、运动、印花等很多流行元素,利落又性感,舒适且潮味十足。

挑选经典单品中带有出挑的细节设计或新一季的元素是打造这种风格的关键。比如这件在她的街拍中出现过很多次的短袖风衣,不仅是换季时的必备,而且通过内搭不同材质,比如蕾丝、雪纺、皮革等,不同图案比如豹纹、迷彩、条纹等等,可以变换出很多新造型。
