Spring '11: Lightweight Pants and Accessories

DailyOutfit: Graduation

Simple trousers are the best bet for everyone. Flat-front with a straight leg or slight bootcut is so flattering, emphasizing length. Accessories really punch up this outfit if kept light -- wood, canvas and simple gold and leather studs feel just right on a warm day. To transform this outfit for the office, change up the accessories to something more classic -- diamond studs and a simple pendant, chunky gold necklace and earrings or something bold and funky. Think about the conversation you want to start (or not) and accessorize accordingly.

REMEMBER to order all of the potential sizes to find the best fit for you AND to insist on a great fit by returning any and all sizes that aren't right. Jacket fits if you can fully button it. Adjust sleeves or pant length at the tailor..
