Colored blazer is a versatile piece we can wear for the office and weekend, I especially love cobalt blue version, because the color is eye-catching yet sophisticated, easy-going and ultra flattering. Did I mention that it’s the hottest color this season?

Last time, we shared how to style a blue blazer for warm weather (remember those gorgeous sandals, cute prints and distressed jeans? ). Today’s featured looks of Emma Stone & Jessica Alba showed us how to wear it for late summer and fall:

Dark colors and earthy tones are our go-tos for cold weather, and cobalt blue goes perfectly with those shades, like the grey, black, and rich brown showed on today’s featured stars; Accessories are always a quick, easy and affordable way to update any look. Here, Emma Stone opted for right-in beanie and menswear-inspired oxford to make the classic black/blue combination look fresh and updated while hot mom Jessica Alba chose red mirror sunglasses and statement jewelry for an edgy yet glamorous finishing touch.

彩色西装外套抢眼又百搭，上班休闲皆相宜。在众多的选择里我尤其偏爱宝蓝色，因为这个颜色既有活力又不失庄重，而且不分季节，也不挑肤色，刚好又是这个秋冬大热的颜色。上次我分享了一些春夏如何搭配宝蓝色西服的小贴士，这次我们从Emma Stone 和 Jessica Alba的这两个造型里学学在秋冬怎么穿它吧！

深色和大地色系是秋冬最常见的颜色，宝蓝色和这些颜色搭配起来都非常出彩，比如你在Emma Stone 和 Jessica Alba身上看到的黑、灰和棕色。这些基本色和宝蓝色的搭配是我们每季都可以拿出来穿的组合，要穿出潮流感，就要靠配饰了。Emma Stone所选的有运动元素的针织帽和中性帅气的牛津鞋都是今年秋冬大热的单品。或者像辣妈Jessica Alba一样，用撞色的眩光太阳镜和个性的金属饰品给经典的蓝黑搭配增加活力。

Black Dress: Day to Night

A little black dress is always the trusty piece we can throw on and go no matter trends. Today’s featured looks show us how to style it for day & night.

The first look above spotted on the street is fashionable and fun. The long-sleeves balance the bare legs, also make the dress great for transitional season. A Tassel bag and sneaker give the body-con dress more casual and relaxed vibe while the embellishment on the shoe and the gold belt adding an edgy, cool-girl touch.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s off-duty looks are sexy yet sophisticated. Here, the black Versus dress echoes the cut-out trend, but in a tasteful way thanks to the front gold buttons and the high neckline.

For a sexy dress like this, avoid pointy-toe pumps, go for modern strappy sandals. Gold accents on her dress, shoes and clutch add lux glamour and tie the whole outfit together.

无论潮流怎么变，小黑裙永远是我们衣橱里最信赖的单品。今天的两个look可以给我们一些灵感，把小黑裙穿得典雅又不失年轻和时尚感。

提到包身的迷你短裙，大家多会与晚上的约会或派对联系起来，但像上面的第一个街拍look所展示的一样，选择长袖降低露肤度，搭配上休闲的流苏斜跨包和帆布鞋，就可以把原本性感的小黑裙穿去逛街或和闺蜜聚餐。运动元素正当道，选择豹纹或铆钉装饰的运动鞋，加上抢眼的金色腰封，增加时尚度。

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley的look是经典的小黑裙穿法：搭配高跟鞋参加晚宴或派对。看似简单的搭配更要在细节上多留心：她所选的Versus的小黑裙呼应了本季大热的几何切割、镂空剪裁，腰际的纽扣和高领的设计让露肤度恰到好处，既典雅又不失性感。整身虽然颜色简单，但变化的细节和交错的线条以及裙子、鞋和手包上的金色点缀增加了高贵度和整体感。

How to Wear Polka Dots

Polka dot is such a timeless & dynamic print. Different scales and colors can give it different vibes: Small ones are more feminine and flirty whereas big ones are more modern and dramatic; Neutral ones are classic and easy-going whereas colored ones are more fun and youthful.

Pairing it with different pieces can bring out different sides of polka dots. As you can see from today’s featured looks above: A flirty frill skirt and cute Mary Jane heels enhanced the romantic and feminine side of Olivia Palermo’s small polka dot print shirt; A wide chunky waist belt, sleek black trousers and edgy leather pumps showed off the modern, powerful side of Taylor Tomasi Hill’s big polka dot shirt.

Two more tips we can learn from these two icons: When mixing prints, vary scales if they share the same color palette, vice versa; If your top and bottom both have volume, use a belt to cinch the waist.

像条纹一样，圆点也是不退流行的经典图案。不同的大小和色彩会赋予圆点不同的风格：小巧的圆点俏皮可爱，大的圆点则更抢眼、摩登；黑白灰等中性色的圆点经典又百搭，多彩尤其是霓虹色的圆点则更年轻充满趣味。

配搭不同的单品也能带出圆点的不同面，就像今天所展示的两个街拍偶像所搭配的一样：柔美的鱼尾裙和可爱的玛丽珍鞋让Olivia Palermo的小圆点衬衫更具女人味；利落的直桶西装裤、尖头包鞋和宽版腰带则更凸显Taylor Tomasi Hill身上的大圆点衬衫的现代与时尚感。

搭配两个相同色系的圆点单品时，混搭大小不一样的更有层次感。另外，如果我们的上衣和下装均不是修身款式，则最好选用高腰款式，并利用腰带强调腰线。
