Take a cue from the celeb circuit (Alexa Chung, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Garner are just a few who have been sporting) by choosing a flirty floral or vintage style print with plenty of color.

The best part? This silhouette is super flattering on all body types. The proof is in the design details. A nipped in waist and a skirt that skims the hips will truly compliment your best assets.
