Soft and serene, spring and summer 2007 bring a new, gentler definition of style. Cloths are cut close to the body in silhouette revealing fabrics. Flowing dresses and skirts with multi-length hemlines are made for summer. Slacks are cropped at the ankle, shin, and just below the knee. The gaucho pants are back in a variety of leg widths from slim to flair to full. Slim-leg walking shorts are showing up in every color and pattern. Feminine styles reign supreme in ladies tops. Look for unusual sleeves, empire waists and flirty textures to add a subtle dash of charm and grace. Wedge heel shoes are hot again this season. Arts and crafts, bohemian chic, Indian influence, country romance; there is something for everyone's individual style.

Do - Try the new wash and go fabrics. Silk, crepe, linen and more are all showing up in washable fabrics! These new technology refined fabrics make life easier and save money on dry-cleaning bills.

Don't - Loose crochet knits are not for the office in most cases. If you do wear it, be sure to wear a camisole tank top or slip under it. A suggestion for the office is crochet top with a jacket over it. Take the jacket off and you are ready for evening fun.

Do - If you love flats but feel you need a little heel, the kitten heel will give you just enough lift to add a bit of class and shape the leg.

Don't - Flip flops are not appropriate for a professional environment. The temptation will be there in the heat of summer. Our advice is don't do it.

Do - With most of the foot showing in the minimal shoe styles, attention to your feet will be more important than ever. A good pedicure should be part of your summer routine.

Don't - If you are a petite or size 6 or smaller, oversized layers of jewelry will be too overwhelming for your size. Your jewelry should be the size of a quarter or smaller. You can still wear multiple layers but keep the scale smaller.

Do - If you are a size 14 and up the trends in large chunky jewelry is a great idea for you. The multiple layers and large size accessories will create the illusion of a smaller body.

Don't - Dress too casual for work. It is so easy to slip into casual mode during the hot summer months. Resist the temptation if you are looking for respect in the office.
