Whether long or short, various vacations still fill out our August calendar. This four-part series is dedicated to helping you stay chic on the way, all inspired by style savvy Olivia Palermo and her recent trip to Greece.

Straw tote is definitely a summer vacation essential. Its inherent casualness instantly makes any outfit beach ready. Stripes, bright colors and cheerful prints are also essential elements to lighten up a trip.

This season, instead of traditional nautical blue/white pieces, pack the trendy black/white version. They are equally chic, but more sleek and modern, along with a breezy sundress and ballet flat, resulting several effortlessly chic outfits that can take you from the boardwalk to the sidewalk.

In Chinese: 进入8月,仍有不少或长或短的出游计划。看看时尚偶像Olivia Palermo在她最近的希腊之旅中都穿了些什么,从中找些搭配灵感吧。

编织包是海边度假的必备单品,椰叶或稻草的自然气息能瞬间带来轻松愉悦的假日感觉。此外,经典的条纹舒适的吊带裙以及明快的色彩也是点亮旅途的不二选择。说到条纹,相比海边最常见的蓝白条纹,Oliva Palermo所选的黑白更出彩,呼应了本季的流行,搭配时可休闲亦可正式,可以轻松应对旅途中的各种场合。

There are always lazy days when I don’t want to think about my outfit, just gravitate towards some simple yet trusty pieces, like a basic black top and favorite skinny jeans or denim shorts.

For omnipresent combo like this, as always, we need to rely on accessories to make them stand out. As Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Miranda Kerr showed here: a chic fedora, right-on-trend studded booties, eye-catching yet practical ‘It’ bags, fabulous sunglasses or even just a wipe of red lipstick can make a big difference.

Another trick learned from Miranda Kerr: if you are self-conscious about a certain back area like I do when wearing hot shorts (you know what I mean), tie something around your waist: a denim shirt, leather jacket, hoodies or cardigan, which will add details to an outfit while super practical when temperature changes.

In Chinese: 总有那么几天,出门前懒得去想该穿什么,习惯性地把手伸向衣橱里那些我最信任的单品:简单的黑白T和牛仔裤。但是要把这些太过于平常的搭配穿出彩,配饰总是必不可少的。就像今天的这两位街拍偶像示范的一样:无论是一顶绅士风格的小礼帽,一双大热的铆钉踝靴,还是抢眼又实用的IT包,都能瞬间提升即使是最简单的搭配。

一个小技巧:如果你也有和我一样的困扰,穿热裤的时候总是担心后面太短,那就像辣妈Miranda Kerr学习,系一个外套在腰间,不但可以增加层次感,当气温变化的时候也能保暖。
