Charla's THINNER BY TONIGHT Tip: If you have wide feet and ankles, match your shoes to your leg color; not to your skirt or dress. A monotone color all the way down will lengthen the leg. In winter, wear a black opaque stocking and black pump; in summer, skin-toned slingbacks with bare legs.

In the summer, we all have barbecues, outdoor parties and days at the beach, so there are more reasons than ever to look Younger & Hipper. But, when it's hot out there, what are you supposed to wear? It's easy to throw on just any old thing that keeps you cool, but there's no reason why you can't keep comfortable and still look stylish and hip.

The first thing to remember is that, just because it's summer, please don't throw all the rules out! Sure, we like to think back to the days when we could wear microminiskirts, but unless you have legs like Tina Turner (and let's face it, who does?), those are just too short, even in the summer. The right length for your skirts and dresses, in any season, is right at the knee. It's so much younger, hipper and better than a micromini or a pair of shorts!
