Synthetic Fabrics While any mention of the forbidden word synthetic can often yield looks of contempt from your fashion forward snobbish friends, embracing fabrics that are not entirely natural can often help with keeping away that heat during the summer months

Its long enough that you can wear it with bare legs, and short enough that it doesnt look too bulky with tights or leggings underneath

Fabric and construction matter more with cutouts A cutout asks more of a dress than a solid design, because the fabric around the opening has to hold its shape cleanly without gaping, sagging, or curling at the edges

This mini dress from Sea New York features a mock neck and flutter sleeves

A velvet bow tie and black oxfords will look just as sleek as a colorful patterned tie and suede boots

Whether you want to keep it classic or add some fun flair, you cant go wrong with selecting pieces that best reflect your personality and style
