Men's Fashion Tips: When To Save

Millissa on Jun 22, 2009 5:09 AM PDT

With the beautifully warm and cheerful summer weather now well underway, you want to look cool and casual for days on the beach or barbecues with friends. Here are a few tips on where to save, yet still look stylish for summer. Simple cotton t-shirts in bright colours work wonders for any summer outfit. Adding a splash of colour atop a pair of tailored shorts or linen trousers can really add a nice flair to your look. Whilst graphic design t-shirts can often cost a pretty penny, a plain coloured option is friendlier on the wallet. The added bonus is that rather than relying on the print as the main focal point of your outfit, a simple colour play can look great. Make sure to choose a lighter colour, whilst keeping in mind which colours work best for you. For the rest of this article and more fashion and style stories, click over to HauteMimi.

What to Wear: Summer Job Interview

kate napleton on Jun 18, 2009 4:19 PM PDT

It's hot. It's sunny, and you have a job interview. You must look savvy, chic and like the job candidate any company would be so lucky to have. But you don't want to sweat through your three-season suit you rely on through the fall, winter and spring. Solution? Something crisp, airy and modern, like the Banana Republic collarless linen jacket paired with their white cotton-blend sheath dress. You'll be comfortable and look totally put together. Shoes are a tough act, because most sandals are too casual. To avoid any possible offense, either stick with a classic pump or a peep-toe heel like this DAVIS by Ruthie Davis patio peep toe hidden platform pump. Check out the slideshow for more great summer job interview pieces!

Tunics are a staple for warm weather dressing. Maintain an air of classic-cool even when the humidity is taking its toll. Simply pair a tunic blouse with white capris or shorts and you are ready to face the sweltering hot weather in style. Designer Tory Burch does tunics with a keen sense of grown-up style. Tory Burch's tunics feature luxurious touches such as beaded necklines, embroidery and stone embellishments, all inspired by chic warm weather destinations around the globe including Morocco, Dubai and the South of France.

Get Comfy-Chic This Summer With Linen Pants

Alex Gambardella on Apr 29, 2009 5:22 AM PDT

Nothing feels more like summer than flowy linen pants. When you get tired of wearing jeans or skirts in warmer weather, you can look stylish in the comfy new looks for pants this season. Wide-legged or straight-legged, long or gauchos, the look is a sleek body-skimming top to create the new silhouette. I'm loving the look of these Jackson Linen Wide-Leg Pants from Banana Republic. The tie front waist and large pocket are a fun decorative touch. These Soft Earth Gauchos are a shorter version for maximum coolness and comfort without skimping on style, and these Veselova Wide-Legs from Anthropologie are darker and slimming, perfect for dressing up just a bit for a casual warm night out.
