Front row style “requires” sophisticated outfits with a bit of luxe touch and a lot of fun. I love style savvy, front row “expert” Olivia Palermo achieved that by using colored fur stole, luminous print, unexpected mix and match, and sleek basics to balance them out. We may not get the opportunity to sit in the front row, but these looks can be great inspirations when dressing for parties or a night out.

In Chinese: 时装周前排看秀的”战服”要把时尚、奢华、简约、有趣、大胆等元素平衡得恰到好处，又不露痕迹，比如大牌秀场的常客、街拍女王Olivia Palermo的这两个造型中有奢华的皮草、艺术品般抢眼的印花、蛇纹和格子的碰撞、以及低调经典的基础单品等。我们也许没有机会看秀，但这些造型能给我们参加派对或约会时更多搭配灵感。

Victoria Beckham’s style has definitely evolved a lot after she becomes a designer. Sky high heels and bodycon dresses used to be her signature. Now she is more relaxed, and willing to try new styles, from comfy flats to menswear tailoring, from flirty flare to drop waist design… It’s interesting and so inspiring to witness an icon’s change, right?

In Chinese: 从辣妹到辣妈，从歌手到设计师，维多利亚·贝克汉姆身份的转变也伴随着她穿衣风格的改变，过去恨天高的鞋和凸显身材的包身裙是她的标志，现在随着她设计师之路的成功，平底鞋、男装剪裁、褶边伞裙或下垂的腰线等不再一味强调性感的元素也常在她身上看到。能目睹一代偶像仍在不断学习、进步和追求完美的过程总是让人感慨良多，也获益良多，对吗？

Laid Back Chic

Loose fit pants paired with comfy flats? Sounds challenging. Julianne Hough showed us how to rock this practical combo effortlessly:

First, choose the pants wisely. Both pairs on her have a good relaxed fit without being too wide thanks to the stretch denim fabric and the tapered silhouette, respectively. Second, the rolled hems and fitted tops on her balanced the loose fit of her pants perfectly; Third, the eye-catching leopard print on her shoes distracted attention while offering the effortless chicness.

In Chinese:宽松的裤款和平底鞋的搭配很有挑战性，看看个子并不高，和我们普通人一样也有壮壮腿困扰的Julianne Hough是怎么穿出时尚感的吧：

首先她在裤型的选择上很有心机，看起来宽松，但她的牛仔背带裤的裤腿相对较窄，面料又有弹性。而右边白色的裤子也选择了修饰腿型的锥形，卷起的裤管露出了纤细的脚踝，再配上紧身的上衣，最大化的减弱了宽松裤型显胖的可能。豹纹的包鞋既转移了注意力又给整身look增加了潮感。
