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。

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。

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。
