What should I wear? Spring 2007

"What should I wear?" is every girl's dilemma. Another hot item, apart from the dresses for ever occasion are the shorts.

Shorts rule for warm weather, and they even take on casual work places when worn with matching jackets. Longer length shorts - a.k.a bermudas. walking shorts and skimmers look best in a slim cut (beware cuffs: they add weight). Anything too full and knee-length will add lots of heft around the hips, where most women can least afford it. Make sure you don't ruin the casual-dress vibe of shorts with a shoe that's too danty or dressy: a chunky platform, ballerina flat or simple thong sandal works better than a stiletto.

Dresses for every occasion

You already know dresses are key for special events and after-five, but this season you will want to turn to dresses for everything from work to weekend wear. Leading the dress pack is the shirt dress, an easy look for most offices and universally flattering (the collar and button-front draw attention to your face, the belted waist gives you shape, and the full skirt hides a heavy lower body). The shirt dress had a strong presence on the catwalks during the Milan Fashion Week.

Kate Bosworth looks very natural in a shirt dress on the picture. The dress is adorable! It is so simple–it can be left alone for a casual look on a day out, or dressed up with flashy jewelery and a pair of cute heels.

Jersey knit dresses are another great look for spring and summer. The beautiful drape of jersey allows dresses to caress your body without being skintight. With jersey, you will need to eliminate seams and panty lines because bumps and lumps do show; try a one-piece body slimmer or seamless lingerie.
