Fashion Tips

Make the print a "staple in your accessories wardrobe", says stylist Rob Zangardi. It's timeless, racy enough, and always glamorous.

Keep in mind: white clothes always look more see-through in daylight. Check yourself out in a bright setting to be safe.

Before you buy, try to gauge how a piece might hold up after a few washings. And don't shell out for clothes you can't, or you won't, take to dry cleaners. If you know you'll never hand-wash that embellished sweater, walk away.

Fitted jeans with a distinct flare at the bottom create the illusion of a longer leg, specially when the hem hits the top of your heeled shoes. The trick here is to keep the fit of the jeans super-slim through the leg and to make sure the waistband hits your natural waist not any lower. For optimal height, be sure to pair your flares with a waist-length top, or a blouse you can tuck in.

Here, you'll definitely want something very light and natural: Go for a subtle peachy-pink lipstick. Keep the rest of your look natural with clean skin, no foundation, a slight rosy flush, a touch of highlighter on the high points of your face, and lengthening mascara.

For your holiday summer parties, create a smoked-out wing with eye shadow: Line your top and bottom lash lines with a creamy pencil that you can smudge into your lid. After applying eye shadow over your lid, conservatively extend the pigment out towards the outer corners of your eyes with a precise eye shadow brush.
