The options in short designer wear is plenty. All you have to do is take your pick according to your figure and comfort level and you will shine like a star in the evening party.

If you are shy type and trying out that short dress for the first time, go for jersey dresses. The reason behind them is that they hide more than they reveal.

But if you are the experimental sort, then stone embellished halter dresses must be your pick. Available in a variety of colors like purple, plums and pinks, they are sure to raise your presence quotient at the party. And who would mind the attention?

A new entrant in the category of short dresses are Ruffle tiered tunic dresses. It is a body hugging dress which flatters a bit from the waist and again narrows down towards the thighs. This kind of short dress is ideal for those with heavier mid riff. You can either opt for one shoulder dress in a variety of colors and fabrics. They look elegant and are stylish at the same time. One shoulder dress shifts the focus from the midriff and beams to the neck…so those with svelte shoulders can wear this kind of short dress.

However, for petite frame, a tube dress or off-shoulder ones would look good. Meanwhile whatever you wear, make sure you team up with the best accessory, i.e. your confidence. So best of luck with the party preparation!

Capri pants are ideal for the summer as they are calf-length pants with a tapered straight-cut. Before you choose the right pants on the basis of the activity or occasion, you will have to consider which is the best style and fabric. It is important to select the style and cut, as well as material, which will suit you most. Remember that long-legged cuts will make you seem taller than you really are, while cut-offs will do just the opposite. As far as patterns are concerned, you may choose them with a certain criteria. In warmer climates, cotton and natural fiber are the perfect choices, while silk, satin or wool-based material are best for colder climates.
