Our trusted barometer of cool, Chloë Sevigny, has long been a great source of short-hemline inspiration. She's got a cracking pair of pins, true, but the actress and muse also knows that sometimes these thigh-skimming minis require an extra dash of styling know-how in order to stay sophisticated.

Attending the A/W 16 Kenzo menswear show in Paris, Chloë kindly provided just the variety of inspiration we appreciate, an offbeat take on a simple idea: black skirt, white top and heels.

She wore a super-mini, super-shiny Kenzo miniskirt with this ultra-covered-up white voluminous blouse and a pair of V-neck shoes (possibly the most leg-lengthening footwear option we know), and there was a whiff of 1980s power-dressing here—something that sets this look aside from the norm and places it well within autumn/winter's trend zone.

On Chloë Sevigny: Kenzo Ruffled Cotton Poplin Shirt (£389), Fringed Vinyl Skirt (£424), bag and shoes.

You've been there—stepping out of your house in a cute outfit, only for it to be completely ruined by sweat, sweat, and more sweat on that first 90-degree day. Trust us: You're not alone. Aside from simply wearing nothing, it seems almost impossible to look your best in the heat of summer. But surviving without sacrificing your style is doable—if you dress smartly.

To pinpoint exactly what we mean, we enlisted celeb stylists Jen Rade and Alex Sweterlitsch to give their expert tips on exactly what to wear for humid weather.

Keep scrolling to make the next few months a little more bearable for you.

"Stick to shapes that fall away from the body. The less fabric touching your skin, the cooler you'll feel," Sweterlitsch said. 

"Avoid synthetic fabrics at all costs; they'll cling and stick and make you miserable," Sweterlitsch said.

"I say this as a girl who wears black almost daily, but it really helps to avoid dark colours when it's blazing-hot outside. Think like the Navy and invest in some 'summer whites.' A nice white fit-and-flare dress with colourful ballet flats or sandals is cute for work or a weekend afternoon. Prints are also great at hiding sweat marks," Rade said.

"It matters what shoes you choose—heat escapes through our heads and our feet, so opt for canvas shoes if you have to wear closed-toe. Otherwise, wear chic sandals as much as possible," Sweterlitsch said.

"Dresses and tops with cutouts are not only fun but they have built-in ventilation," Rade said. 

"Avoid tight jeans! Try lightweight denim in looser shapes like boyfriend or wide-leg to keep cool," Rade said. 

"Sports bras are great for wicking moisture from the skin, and bras can be SO hot and irritating in the summer. Plus a cute, colourful one can be layered under a linen blouse or a chambray shirt," Rade said.

With the holiday season officially upon us, the time has come to strengthen and fortify that most important of Christmas items—the festive sweater. The “ugly holiday sweater” has its own very special place in the zeitgeist, and we’re certainly not knocking the hipster-loved style statement—at the very least, it’s a great conversation starter.

But for those of you with a slightly more elevated taste level, you can still participate in the fun without looking too ugly. Luckily, there’s a way! We found a number of sweaters that can easily be classified as festive, but remain distinctively stylish.

For a long time, I never spent more than about $150 on a pair of shoes. I forayed in everything from sub-$30 shoes (a dabbling I strongly recommend against after one very painful romp across Midtown Manhattan) to $400 booties on sale for a remarkable $133 (one of my favourite sale finds to date!)—but never did I drop more than $150 on a pair. I simply refused, based on principle, on account of my love for thriftiness, and on a belief that, truthfully, is a $400 shoe that much more high-quality than a $100 shoe?

The answer, I’ve now learned, is that yes, it is. I recently donated 400 of my hard-earned dollars to a for-profit charity organisation otherwise known as Bloomingdale’s, purchasing this pair of Stuart Weitzman pumps that I simply could not refuse. When I saw the perfectly pointed stiletto, the subtle gleam of iridescence, and the deeply-cut silhouette of the arch, I felt that I had waited my entire life to spend so much money on one pair of shoes—and this was the pair I was destined for.

As my clicker finger paused over the purchase button, I pondered what I was doing. As a 28-year-old woman, I had finally reached the point where I felt like I should own a pair of shoes that costs a somewhat significant portion of my rent—ones that at least had the potential to elevate my personal style from respectable to undeniable. My feet needed an upgrade. Plus, this was all in the name of science: I had to test my long-held belief that expensive shoes weren’t that much better than shoes of average price points. I clicked purchase.

And I’m here to share with you, ladies, an unfortunate truth: Expensive shoes really are better than cheap ones. Here’s a breakdown of what I’ve gathered, point by point:

1. They’re more comfortable.

While stilettos are rarely if ever comfortable, this pair is without a doubt the most comfortable I’ve ever owned. Because the construction quality is so high, and the quality of the leather is too, I feel like my foot is being constantly hugged by my shoe—a sensation that gives at least the illusion of comfort, even when true comfort isn’t entirely present.

2. They feel much more stable.

What’s truly amazing about a well-crafted stiletto is that it makes you feel like you’re not walking on a stabby rod of metal, when in fact you are. While most stilettos I’ve owned have mostly resulted in me wobbling around like a maniac, this more expensive pair somehow makes me feel like I can walk like a normal human being in them. Unlike with shoes that are more cheaply constructed, I don’t feel like I’m tempting fate with each and every step.

3. They magically withdraw compliments from others.

As much as I don’t want to believe it’s true, expensive shoes just look better. If you buy a good pair of expensive heels, they tend to look expensive, which just equates to looking sleek, well-made, and stylish. While I am a big proponent of brands like Zara and ASOS, who have more affordable shoes that oftentimes look just as pricey as the real deal—I’ve come to believe that there is no replacement for true quality.

In conclusion: If you can drop a lot of cash on a pair of shoes, I’d recommend it. To help ensure you don’t waste your hard-earned dollars, we’ve come up with tons of shoes worth investing in now. Keep scrolling to see our stylish picks!

Sometimes all it takes is a swap of the hat (January Jones), an interesting mix of textures (Jessica Biel), or a pretty pastel hue (Olivia Wilde) to make your cold weather wardrobe feel new again. And there’s more wear that came from just beyond this slide. 

Tip: Mix rich textures for an all-black look that is anything but basic.

While promoting her latest film, The Truth About Emanuel, Biel proved all-black doesn't have to be boring by simply combing different fabrics and textures. The actress paired AllSaints’ Belmont Leather Jacket ($525) with an eyelet skirt from Giambattista Valli’s Resort 14 collection, Fendi’s Borderline Clutch ($860), and Bionda Castana’s Daphne Bis Pumps ($939).

Spotted outside the No. 11 Downing Street Christmas party in London, singer-songwriter Vickers assured us wearing two trends—in this case, Topshop’s Plaid Crop Trousers ($80) and a black turtleneck—is always better than one. 

Get The Look:

Joe Fresh Cropped Plaid Pants ($34); Uniqlo Alpaca Blend Turtle Neck Sweater ($20) in Black.

Tip: Swap a slouchy beanie for a more polished beret.

Jones bundled up Parisian-style for a lunch trip to Pasadena earlier this month, teaming a black beret with Leon Max’s Doubleweave Wool Coat ($498), MiH’s Ellsworth Jeans ($209) in Sugarblue, Loewe's Cruz Bag ($2600), and Coye Nokes black suede booties. 

Get The Look:

Bop Basics Wool Beret ($48)

Get The Look:

Parker Sienna Lace Jumpsuit ($297); Sea Lace Jumpsuit ($565).

Tip: Style a crisp button-down under a graphic sweater.

At the announcement of the BORNFREE Campaign in New York last month, J.Crew’s President and Creative Director was perfectly polished in a J.Crew sweater worn over an Ascot Chang white shirt and paired with J.Crew trousers and Manolo Blahnik Suede BB Heels ($595).

Get The Look:

Kenzo Embroidered Tiger Marl Sweatshirt ($294); Linea Pelle Grayson Clutch ($215). 

Tip: Make a denim dress winter-appropriate with opaque tights.

Cotton didn’t let London’s chilly temps prevent her from wearing her Topshop denim mini dress. The BBC 1 Radio host gave it a cold weather update by styling it over a Gap t-shirt and opaque tights and finishing with a Theory coat. 

Get The Look:

Topshop Moto Dip Dye Pini Dress ($76); Zara Coat with Leather Sleeves ($239).

Tip: Forgo the standard black and navy pantsuit for a winter pastel style.

Wilde said bye to the black pantsuit and hello to a refreshing mint green version—paired with Coye Nokes sandals—while running errands in downtown Los Angeles.

We rarely pass up the opportunity to spend quality time with friends outdoors, eat delicious food, and listen to good music, which is why summer barbecues are one of our most beloved events. It also happens to be one of our favourite occasions to get dressed for, as it’s the perfect time to break out a new pair of sandals or experiment with a bold print. This year, we’re taking style cues from two spring runways, both of which featured a grassy green colour palette that’s fitting for warm-weather soirees. While at Dolce & Gabbana the Cotton Vertical Striped Dress ($2045, 877.70.DGUSA) and Raffia Sandals ($1375) seem destined for a poolside fete, we love how Kenzo’s silky Orchid Print Crepe Top ($560) and matching Forest Print Poplin Bermuda Shorts ($495) exude easy luxury. Keeping those references in mind, we rounded up an assortment of barbecue-ready items, all of which are sure to make your friends green with envy!

Drifter Shades ($50)

Add a little retro cool to your ensemble with these ‘50s-inspired shades. We love them in green, naturally, but they’re also available in pink and tortoise. 

Etta Flat Sandals ($295) in Oil Green/Lemon Chartreuse/Viridian Green

Leave the casual flip-flops at home and accessorize with Tory Burch’s artfully embellished Etta Flat Sandals instead. The chic flats will go with everything from a polished shirtdress to cropped trousers.

Carrie Bag ($225, available July) in Fern

When picking the right bag to accompany your ensemble, the key is to think fuss-free. This mini cross-body bag won’t get in the way and is just big enough to store the day’s essentials.

Lala Bright Band Trilby ($23)

Don’t forget your hat! This woven chapeau from Accessorize will not only help shade your face from the sun’s harsh rays, but the green band will add a subtle pop of colour. 

Leaf Print Jumpsuit ($120)

Barbecues are fun and your outfit should be too! Throw on this leaf-print jumpsuit with a slew of bright bracelets to make a fashion-forward statement this Memorial Day.

Caslyn Fine-Jersey Skort ($190)

Combining the feminine look of a skirt with the comfort of a pair of shorts, this Theory skort is ideal for alfresco dining events. 

WaterColors Nail Polish ($15) in Blimey

The perfect finish to any barbecue-ready look is a standout manicure. In keeping with our green colour palette, we’ve selected Scotch Naturals’ Nail Polish in Blimey, a vibrant chartreuse that will instantly amp up your look. 

Kelia Sweater ($268) in Porcelain

For those barbecues that rage on well into the evening, it’s always a good idea to pack a lightweight layer. We love this soft sweater because you can easily throw it over a bathing suit or tank top when the sun goes down.

Findux Bangle Set ($85)

We’d wear these bright bangles stacked together on one arm, but you can also layer them with other bracelets to create visual intrigue.

The women’s pantsuit has come a long way since Yves Saint Laurent designed the first of its kind, the infamous Le Smoking tuxedo suit, in 1966. Since then the matching separates have been reimagined with modern silhouettes, bright hues, and interesting fabrics, making it a trend we never tire of. While we love our tried-and-true monochrome versions, we’re eager to experiment with more exciting styles too, like the printed suit. A favourite of sartorial risk-takers, including Anna Dello Russo, Rita Ora, and Solange Knowles, this standout look is a surefire way to amp up your standard weekday repertoire and makes a serious style statement on and off the clock.

On The Runway

Go bold or go home—that’s what we imagine Iceberg designer Paolo Gernai had in mind when designing his S/S 13 collection. It certainly felt that way when he sent a matching pantsuit with a damask motif paired with a printed turtleneck down the runway. The easy silhouettes and dizzying patterns flaunt a relaxed yet elegant vibe that’s right on-point for spring.

Get The Look

While you’re free to experiment with a variety of silhouettes and pieces when addressing today’s look, we prefer to focus on three different versions.

The Tailored Look Neatly fitted blazers and cropped pants are an excellent formula for the office or evening. You can’t go wrong with animal prints this season, which is why we suggest checking out Rachel Zoe’s Charlie II Suit Jacket ($375) and Jeoffrey Pants ($245) and Preen Line’s Berry Leopard-Print Stretch-Cotton Drill Blazer ($715) and Ellen Drill Pants ($455). For something brighter, try Rachel Roy’s Vibrant Orchid Multi Jacket ($448) and Mandarin Pants ($398) with a neon blouse and nude heels.

Easy Elegance If you’re someone who prefers your suit separates to be a little more relaxed, we have a couple of options for you to try too. Vibrant, tropical motifs are a fresh choice for the season, and Rebecca Taylor’s Hawaii Silk Jacket ($495) and Silk Ankle Pants ($295) exude that effortlessly feminine vibe you’re going for. We also adore Just Cavalli’s Printed Crepe Tuxedo Blazer ($890) and Printed Stretch Twill Pants ($487), which would look chic paired with pointed-toe stilettos.

The Unexpected Want to sub out the blazer for a contemporary take on the look? Topshop’s Printed Oversized Bomber Jacket ($140) and Skinny Trousers ($84) will do the trick, or ensure you’re a standout in Clover Canyon’s Turquoise Valley Neoprene Jacket ($396) and Pants ($216).
