英國女王爲啥能一直站在時尚潮流尖端？

Her Majesty the Queen has always done everything in her power to rise above the vagaries of fashion, and that's precisely how we like it.
女王陛下一直以來都盡其所能在各路時尚界展露其品味，這也正是我們喜歡她的原因。

In the year of her 90th birthday, the kind of block-heeled shoes she has favoured for an entire half-century are on the point of looking dreadfully fashionable.
女王九十歲之際，這款她鍾愛了半個多世紀的方跟鞋潮得嚇人。

It is an Italian man, Alessandro Michele of Gucci (the most extremely fashionable designer in the universe at this moment) who ought to be dragged before the throne and made to explain himself.
古馳的阿朗索德拉·米歇爾是意大利人，這位全宇宙頂尖時尚設計師應該拖拉他到王位前好好討教他一番。

Michele launched the shoes, a pair of antiqued gold leather lame loafers with a fringed tongue and solid mid-heels.
米歇爾發佈了這雙慵懶的樂福鞋，由古樸的金色皮革製成，帶有流蘇、配有結實的中跟。

So sparked up were the ladies of the fashion press at the sight of those psychedelically-enhanced, Queen-like loafers that dozens charged off to buy them.
時裝發佈會的女士們一看就對這雙頗具魔力的女王樂福鞋興趣大增，爭相飛奔去買。

Better to opt for the more modern low-heels which don't reference too closely anything our mothers and grandmothers might have worn with their Crimplene A-line shifts and chain-belts in the Sixties.
最好選擇更爲現代的低跟鞋，不要和奶奶媽媽輩A字形克林普綸質地的鞋款還有六十年代的鏈帶混爲一談。
所以怎樣能像女王一樣，輕鬆駕馭闊跟鞋呢？以下是幾個小tips：

If wearing a very sober block heel, avoid a matching skirt and coat (unless you really do want to pass for Her Majesty).
如果你穿的是沉悶肅穆的闊跟鞋，要避免搭配短裙和外套(除非你真想和女王陛下一拼高下)。

A sparkly heel is enough of a statement so keep other bejewelling in your outfit to a minimum. Now fashion has come around to the low, block heel.
閃耀的後跟足以彰顯個性，整體珠寶裝飾要越少越好。如今時尚已經回到了闊跟鞋年代。

Think carefully about elasticated styles. On all but the very young these look faintly surgical.
鬆緊帶款要慎重考慮。除了特年輕者，鬆緊款看起來多少有點假。

If you’ve fallen in love with a retro, block-heeled slingback, keep the rest of your look ultra-modern.
如果你愛上了復古露腳後跟的闊跟鞋，要保證其餘裝束相當摩登才行。
