24/7

These days, everything is all about multi-tasking. From cellular phones that take photos to PDAs that double as mobile entertainment systems, people are looking for the chicest deal possible.

After all, with today’s modern world, things are moving fast and you definitely don’t want to miss out. So it’s only natural to start assembling a wardrobe that allows the same ease as today’s cutting-edge conveniences. A wardrobe that cruises through morning meetings, power lunches and dinners with seduction for dessert!

The easiest way to add versatility to your look is to incorporate accessories. Big earrings add nocturnal juice to any day look and flashes of color add unexpected drama to any look regardless of the time of day. Easy shapes and comfortable fabrics increase mobility and let you get the job done. It’s also important to make sure that you use fabrics that will stay as cool as you. Though linens are comfortable they won’t make it till your first coffee break without breaking a crease. Choose breezy cottons, denim (only in workplaces that permit it though), and stretchy fabrics in easy-to-blend colors.

The new alternatives for this season include fisherman’s pants, which are edgy and cool for day and sexy enough for night. It has a figure-friendly shape that hides that anything-but-coy ass and thunder thighs with fashionable comfort. Worn with heels and a form-fitting top, the pants are anything but fishy.

Cargos are also making a comeback but now, it has done the Karl Lagerfeld diet and emerges as a slimmer and sexier version of its dodgy old self. Pockets are flat and obviously are not meant to hang hammers on. They come in a variety of fabrics such as silk, cotton, linen and of course, denim. Worn with some flashy heels, the only thing you’ll be carrying is fashion envy! Think Kylie!

Minis are obviously everywhere and are sure to look fab with the new flats that all fashion icons worth their diamonds are known to adore. Reminiscent of ballet flats, the new flats carry many geometric design elements. For less prudish feet, check out the new strappy sandals with kitten heels in metallic hues (especially silver!) that are also making their grand entrance this season. Both styles are extremely welcome any time of the day.

So it’s time to say fight 24/7!
