If you want to try something funky, buy yourself a hot one-piece jumpsuit. Sure, it’s a bit off-the-wall, but getting dressed will feel so much more effortless (just ask Jessica Simpson; she wore a striped jumpsuit to TRL). Instead of kicking back with flip-flops this summer, try a pair of high heels with your funky jumpsuit that will instantaneously take you from simple to sizzling. The best part about this getup? Instead of having to match a top and a bottom, the one-piece jumpsuit does the coordinating for you. If only everything in life were this simple.

Sure, the little black dress will always be a classic, but why not turn classic into classy with a little (navy) blue dress? The new LBD (little blue dress) is still dark enough to hide any imperfections, but it also has a hint of color so as to liven up your look.
So throw on one of the following styles, add a pair of eye-catching heels (perhaps off-white, camel-hue, or gold), and layer on some chunky accessories (say a long, gold-chain necklace). You’ll take the little black dress to whole new (and blue) level.
Thanks, Smashingly Fabulous, for the tip!

From the snazzy to the tacky, cufflinks have been a fashion accessory that men seem to take for granted. Now, in the age of the Metrosexual, men are taking advantage of all of the resources at their fingertips. Cufflinks are no longer just for dressy occasions–we’ve seen men linking their cuffs while at the club, at work, and even at Sunday brunch.
Nautical, anyone?

There’s a difference between being a tomboy and dressing in chic outfits with a masculine touch. You can still maintain your girliness while rocking these rough pieces by accessorizing with feminine earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and handbags. Marc Jacobs’s Spring collection at Fashion Week (as seen in PaperMag) was an overly dramatic interpretation of masculine women’s gear. Style Bytes notes that the latest masculine look is sexier and more laid back, but don’t try stealing your boyfriend’s duds to pull off this look.

Embellishment once used to be reserved for womenswear, but men are now being let in on the fun (and the snazzy details), according to FashionTribes. But not every man can sport this ultra-stylish look. Confident men who aren’t afraid to don a jacket that may be a tad more feminine than that of their girlfriend can pull this look off. Men who fear being labeled a Metrosexual need not apply.
