This Summer, mix up your shorts-and-skirts style MO with an easy, breezy maxi dress. Because of its long length and versatility in shape (halterneck, shirtdress, one-shouldered, racerback, and so on), we really can't think of any reasons not to keep these frocks in warm-weather-wardrobe high demand. For daytime, go for bohemian in a chiffon floral-print maxi or opt for a sportier jersey version, Read more

Moschino Cheap & Chic channeled some of the more notable psychedelic '60s styles with an updated twist. Our favorite in the mod mix?

Somewhere, Marlene Dietrich is smiling. Donna Karan's Fall 2012 collection gave menswear a seductive turn, somehow making the double-breasted suit look just as sexy as the fitted dresses.
