聚會上何以取勝?首先得穿對
The beginning of the year is when all the major awards and ceremonies bombard the screen. For fashionistas, what attracts them most is the red carpet looks of celebrities. For one thing, it is a great opportunity to enhance their fashion aesthetics; and for another, it gives them some inspiration for their next party look.
每逢一年之初,各種大型的頒獎典禮扎堆在觀眾面前輪番上演。作為熱愛時尚的可人兒,最關心的當然還是頒獎典禮前眾星的紅毯造型。一來,“修煉”自己的時尚功力;二來,借鑒明星,為自己的下一套聚會造型尋找靈感。

To catch eyes at a party, you need to wear the right thing in the fi rst place. Different occasions have different dress codes, from formal to business casual, and cocktail attires. Do you know everything about it?
The keyword to the ladies' look on black-tie events is elegance. To pull that off, a lot of thought must be put into the total styling. A fl oor-length evening gown with fi ne design is highly recommended. In addition, it shall be paired with thoughtfully-picked jewellery, shoes and evening clutches for a headto-toe look.
當然了,在聚會上要吸引大部分人的目光,首先要穿得對。不同級別的聚會會有相應的著裝要求,從正式宴會到商務休閑派對、雞尾酒會,都有不同的要求。你確定你都了解?
在正式宴會的場合上,女士造型的精髓在于得體優雅。要體現女性的優雅氣質,造型的別致度是重點。晚禮服不僅要設計精良,而且最好是曳地的款式;首飾、鞋履與晚裝包是整體造型的點睛之筆,所以在搭配的時候需要用心琢磨。
Lady Gaga's look on the Oscar red carpet is a best example for beginners. A single-coloured evening gown with simple yet exquisite accessories will immediately enhance your look.
如Lady Gaga在奧斯卡紅毯上的造型,便是入門款的最佳示范。純色的晚禮服,搭配簡約精致的配飾,氣質立馬提升。

If a single colour is too plain for you, you can pick an evening dress with a little twist for a more stand-out look. Pay attention to the fitting, or it will look as unflattering on you as the one on Kate Winslet.
如果覺得純色太素,那可以在晚禮服上加點亮眼的元素,讓整體造型更明媚亮眼。不過,需要注重剪裁。要不然一不小心就會如凱特·溫斯萊特一樣,臃腫不堪。

Modern women are familiar with cocktail parties. Compared with the former two types of occasions, cocktail parties are more relaxing, and less strict in dress code. On most occasions, a cocktail dress would be appropriate for the event. The classic and the safest option is a little black dress, an absolute must for any woman's wardrobe.
雞尾酒會應該是現代女性經常參加的一種聚會。相對前兩種場合,雞尾酒會的氣氛更輕松,所以穿著也沒有那么嚴格。通常的情況下,可以選擇一條雞尾酒裙來出席。其中最經典也最安全的便是每個女人衣柜里都必須要有的小黑裙。
The basic rule of accessorising a little black dress is simplicity and exquisiteness. Adding a little bit more thought without deviating from the rules will create a unique style of your own. Take the accessories recommended below for example. A few metallic details would instantly give edge to your look.
簡約、精致是小黑裙搭配的要義,所以在這個要義的基礎上花點小心思,也可以搭配出獨具個性的造型。以下面推薦的搭配為例,金屬材質的細節加入,讓整個造型變得個性十足。

To pull off a head-to-toe look in black is deceptively easy. Picking the right accessories is the key. Fine accessories are important pieces to amplify the whole style. Therefore, to put together a more sophisticated look is actually much more challenging than it seems.
不要以為全黑的造型很容易HOLD,難度在于搭配單品的精致度。精致的細節往往是提升氣質,甚至是氣場的重要元素,所以進階款看上去雖然簡單,但是卻比入門款更難。

It is easy to infer that Business Casual Attire means clothing that is appropriate for both workplaces and business parties. For ladies, the most basic pieces would be shirts and dress pants or dress skirts. One-piece dress can be a good option too. However, some slack fabrics are not recommended, such as denim, linen and cotton.
商務休閑,顧名思義就是其造型能在上班與參加公務聚餐之間無縫切換。對于女士來說,最基本的就是襯衫搭配褲子或者套裙。當然,One Piece的小禮裙也可以是選擇之一。不過,有些天生貼著休閑標簽的材質,例如牛仔布、棉麻類,都不太適合商務休閑造型。
A slim-fit shirt and a pair of fluid culottes, adorned with some tasteful accessories will immediately give you a high-fashion edge. If you are not a fan for flats, pumps with thick heels are a good alternative.
修身剪裁的襯衫搭配飄逸的九分寬腿褲,加上精致的細節點綴,輕松穿出大度的氣場。如果不喜歡平底鞋的女士,可以選擇粗跟高跟鞋作為搭配。

Thinking that the beginner’s choices are too elementary for you? Try a more sophisticated look. You can try a metallic maxi skirt for the bottom, while keeping the shirt for the top. The skirt would add femininity to your look, while its metallic elements would still keep your cool.
覺得入門款過于呆板?那不妨試一下進階版。依然以襯衫為主要搭配單品,下半身則換上帶金屬質感的長裙。增添嫵媚的感覺之余,因為冷酷的金屬質感加入,而又不過于妖嬈艷麗。
