這一集介紹從9到17的後麵九種風格。
9. 性感 Sexy
性感著裝主要為吸引男人們的目光,也因此可能會惹惱一些身旁的女士。性感在於挑逗,在於盡可能地裸露。暴露的衣服,非常緊身的衣服,非常短的短褲,極細極高的高跟鞋。Mainly to turn men's heads, which often annoy other women around. Flirtatious, shows the maxium body exposure. Baring a lot of skin, wearing tight fitting tops and bottoms, stiletto heels.
10. 高雅講究 Sophisticated
非常講究較難滿足。和Classic類似需要高的品質。高品質之外追究典雅,更追求出眾和人文修養。喜愛這種風格的人經常已經是或想成為社會名士。他們認為自己是高級的文化生活和豪華生活的行家。Not easily satisified. Want high quality similar to classic. Need distinction and culture polish which is beyond the elegance. They are often socialites or want to be one. They dream themselves as connoisseurs who value haute culture and luxury.
11. 西部風格 Western
美國西南部和西部的牛仔風格。極適用於那些在(或想在)農場工作生活或參加牛仔節的人們。個性非常活躍好動,陽光,直爽。著裝可以很隨意,藍色牛仔,T恤衫,粗布夾克,流蘇夾克,牛仔帽,皮帶,牛仔靴,等等。American Southwest and West themes. Great for those who work or live on a ranch, participate in a rodeo or those who wish to live that kind of life. Active, sunny, straight-talking characteristics. Can be very informal: blue jeans, t-shirt, denim jacket, fringe jacket, cowboy hat, leather belt, cowboy boots, etc.
12. 鄰家女孩 Traditional
傳統風格。務實,有教養,總是穿得很恰當。選擇不會過時的經典單品。往往有格子法蘭絨襯衣,呢子短大衣,適當場合常常會穿傳統的黑色連衣裙。The wholesome sensible "girl next door". Practical, polite and always dress appropriately. Like classic time-honored favorites. Often wears a plaid flannel shirt, a pea coat, a classic black dress as long as it suits the occasion.
13. 學院派 Preppy
大學生中最常見。女孩子氣但比較內斂那種。非常容易混搭的單品。衣服經常看上去有檔次但實際上他們不會在穿戴上花大錢。單品往往包括不太透明的褲襪,上窄下寬的A線條裙子,清純的襯衫和發帶。Very popular among college students. Often girly but not too frilly. Clothes are great to mix and match. Often appear luxurious but actually people with this style do not drop ton of cash to have the look. The apparel often includes opaque tights, A-line skirts, girly blouses and headbands, etc.
14. 朋克 Punk
朋克在二戰後興起到70年代成為流行。經曆過不同的演繹和變遷但主旨一直是玩世不恭,叛逆,和帶一些挑釁性。夾帶些魅力元素的朋克喜用亮色,皮子,彈力纖維,和豹紋; 街頭朋克則喜歡緊身牛仔,帶樂隊標識的T恤,滑板者風格的衣物和腕帶。Started after WWII, became popular in the 1970's. Gone through modifications and style twists but the main goal is to be anti-materialistic and edgy. Glam punk has bright colors, leather, spandex and leopard print while pop punk may have skinny jeans, band tees, skater styles and wrist bands.
15. 假小子 Tomboy
喜歡簡約不喜歡穿粉色。喜歡男士服裝部裏的個性T恤和磨舊的襯衣。式樣往往寬鬆。現在很多品牌也提供男士女士都可以穿的中性風格衣服。A girl who wants to wear something simple and who doesn't like to wear pink. Graphic tees and distressed shirts from the boy section of department stores. A bit baggy but it is not a bad thing. Likewise, popular stores offer unisex clothes that can be worn by guys and girls.
16. 搖滾 Rocker
依不同的流派和人群,搖滾風格可以極其迷人也可以極其不堪。二手店是搖滾風格的終極來源。衣服非常便宜看上去已經穿舊好幾個月了。不喜歡極其寬鬆的衣服喜歡小一點的衣服。不可或缺的單品有破洞牛仔,古董T恤和皮衣。Depending on genre or crowd, rocker style may vary from ultra-glam to grunge. Thrift stores are the ultimate source of the rocker styles. Clothes are cheap and it looks like they were worn in for several months. Rockers do not wear baggy clothes, they opt for smaller size. Not complete without ripped denim, vintage tees and leather jacket.
17. 哥特 Goth
哥特衍生於後朋克風格。以黑,暗,病態為特點。常見的要素包括黑色唇膏,黑發,黑衣,黑指甲,誇張的黑眼線。也常常帶有朋克,維多利亞式,和伊麗莎白式文藝複興的風格。Influenced by Goth subculture, characterized with dark and morbid style of dress. Common style includes black lips, black hair, black clothes, black fingernails, dark eyeliner. Some elements are often borrowed from punk style, Victorians and Elizabethans.

翻譯了這十七種風格,對其背後的文化也有了一點更多的了解。我想穿衣服是非常受家庭以及文化和生活環境影響的。作為在國外生活的中國人,我想我們有自己的文化,所以完全可以有我們自己的時尚風格,絕對不用受這17種風格的局限。同時了解學習這些風格,認識到每個人個性、喜好、和追求的不同,對於同我們身邊的老中老外打交道,我想也是可以非常有幫助的。
不管是哪一種風格,能夠把它演繹到最有質量、最有品位都是需要不斷思考和認真實踐的。身教勝於言教,著裝和生活中的其它方麵一樣,都可以給孩子,給家人,給自己工作生活中的人們帶去印象和影響。祝大家找到自己的風格,做那個最真、最棒、最美的自己。
夏日愉快
