For instant sex appeal, the cropped top and pencil skirt is this steamiest selection. Joan Smalls’ Helmut Lang asymmetric bra top, yellow Altuzarra printed skirt and Tom Ford triple buckle sandals proves our point.
Pull out those fall leather pieces and rock it the Ashley Madekwe way. A mini and motorcycle jacket on a breezy summer night will have you donning the coolest look in the club.
Summer is all about color, and Taraji P. Henson clearly got the memo in this electric green top, matching heels and satin teal shorts and we’re loving every bit of it.
Who better to show us how to pull off effortless summer style than June Ambrose? The stylist’s formula for a boho Hampton’s get-up includes a printed flutter-sleeved maxi dress and floppy. Instant fabulousness!
Take a break from monochromatic threads like Ciara for a printed bodycon and white pumps.
Emeli is giving us a case of serious print envy! Luckily this mix is easy to pull off by pairing a spotted shirt and striped skirt in the same color family.
Cut-outs are another way to raise temps this summer. A simple bodycon dress is taken to the next level when peek-a-book-slits are added into the equation.
For a night on the town, a simple strapless dress like Naya Rivera’s in a shocking shade will do all the talking.
How do you introduce the leather trend to the office modestly? Angela Simmons is a great example. A long sleeve top that can withstand the A/C an A-line skirt and smart-looking specs will make you the chicest exec yet.
Photo printed frocks are all the rage! Remix classic silhouette with a fun outerspace or woodsy Mary Katrantzou style like Naomie Harris.
Scarlet has stepped outside of holiday boundaries and emerged as this summer’s standout color. For instance, a similar style to this red hot Anotino Berardi dress Zoe Saldana is wearing will definitely raise the bar while your there.
Play around with textures, colors and shapes that stand out from the rest. Solange Knowles is the perfect inspiration for this in Dolce Gabbana’s Spring 2013 runway pieces.

The shirtdress is the easiest thing to throw on that’s sexy without trying too hard. Nana Meriwether’s little white dress is one we approve of.

Follow Kerry Washington’s fashion lead and she’ll never steer you wrong; her Giambattista Valli contrast-pattern paisley and wild lined dress says it all.
The jumpsuit can do no wrong in our eyes, especially a Balmain chambray style Zoe Saldana’s sporting. But any denim onesie will definitely do the trick.
Thandie Newton gives us a chic summer style that’s perfect for the office. A brightly colored midi skirt, striped top and sensible yet sleek kitten heels gets the job done.
