Ankle-length skinny jeans in faded, grey hues were hot earlier this year, and they look to remain the pants du jour of celebs. Lucky for you, they are easy to find and wear. Grey is the new black. It's less severe and goes with anything, from loose, voluminous late summer tops to layers, like cropped leather hoodies and scarves...

Those British gals -- so stylish and so bold with their brows. We've noticed a trend among British beauties and English roses where their eyes are framed by bold and thick, yet well-manicured, brows. A thicker, fuller brow is more youthful than one that's overarched, overplucked and too thin. Bushy brows are in, especially for autumn -- as long as they are well-groomed.

Jean shorts (aka Daisy Dukes) are a summer staple. The more tattered, the better, whether you bought them that way or took scissors to an old pair of jeans and started hacking away. Not only can they can make your legs look longer and leaner, they go with everything -- and holes, rips and exposed pockets are welcomed and encouraged. Jennifer Aniston, the queen of Cali casual, and Kate Upton, among

Summer is murder on stick-straight hair -- humidity is the enemy of sleekness, and heat leads to a general dryness and lack of shine. So rather than fight the elements, beachy bedhead waves allow celebs to be artfully disheveled and messy on purpose. The "I just woke up" look can be styled in a variety of ways, like Olivia Wilde's defined semi-curls or Selena Gomez's tumbling tendrils.

Summer 2013 has been the summer of black leather. It's everywhere, made all the more perplexing by how thick and heavy it is. Regardless, even in July -- one of the hottest months of the calendar year -- black leather skirts are all over the place. Better still, there's one appropriate for you, no matter your personal style. To keep cool, the hem can rise a la Miley Cyrus, or you can get girly wi

Okay, we know not everyone can pull off a jumpsuit -- and may not even want to. It's an acquired taste, so to speak. If you're vertically challenged, good luck. A one-piece can make you look dumpy. But even if you're tall, a poorly tailored or ill-fitting jumpsuit can make you look like a custodian (and we ain't got the time or the inclination for janitor chic). So can you make it work? Maybe. Le

Flower-print dresses are perfect for summer, especially when the hems of the frocks are short. They're fresh, fun and flirty, just like the buds of the season. And since flower-print apparel is easy to find and comes in a variety of cuts and colors, there are options for all of us -- short, tall, petite, curvy, girlish or glam. Here, you'll see model Karlie Kloss went with a geometric neckline, w

English model Cara Delevingne is this generation's Kate Moss: She's an edgy, dirty girl with insane cheekbones and gorgeous features who isn't afraid to look messy in public. With her well-groomed yet thick eyebrows, tangled mane of blonde hair, a smoldering stare and a clutch of famous pals (Rihanna calls her a "wife" and she bros down with Rita Ora), Delevingne is a media magnet with

It's summer, which means it's time to show more skin -- and celebs are doing just that with deep V cuts. Not only is it okay to let the neckline plunge and the cleavage breathe in stifling weather, you get the added bonus of showing off your assets. But there are lots of ways to wear a V-neck, so you can pick what makes you most comfortable. Jennifer Aniston and Alyssa Milano wore deep Vs in their

In the summer, few colors are as glorious as white -- and loose, flowy white tops that show a little tummy are sexy and cool, as Gwen Stefani and Selena Gomez have demonstrated with recent outfits. It's an easy trend that anyone can wear, even devotees of black. Skin-showing is not required, but it's always a sexy detail. Whatever the shape or the cut, a loose white top will never go out of style

A floppy black hat is the perfect summer accessory for many reasons. For starters, it protects the face from the sun's harmful UV rays (and the wrinkles they cause). It's also a shield for fragile, delicate hair, keeping color-treated or processed roots out of the drying, damaging sunlight. Plus? Floppies add panache to any outfit. Just ask stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe, who topped a flowing bl

Sunglasses are a summer essential, but scarves? Really? Oh hell yes. Scarves are usually an accessory to keep your neck warm (and stylish) during cold weather, but Hollywood celebs have been draped in them all summer long. The scarves and shades pairing, expertly executed by Jessica Alba and more, is a winner, even if it IS a bit confounding since an extra layer of fabric is not exactly serving a

The ponytail -- it's a godsend in muggy, sticky, hot and humid weather. Whether worn messy with face-framing loose pieces and fringe or entirely slicked back and sleek, ponytails are necessary for the hot months when you just want your hair off your face and neck. Here you'll see Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez rocked different yet equally stylish versions of the loose and messy style, while

Black and white will always be in style, but right now, geometric, bold black and white prints are trending. Rihanna donned a kaleidoscopic black and white two-piece ensemble, while Kaley Cuoco topped skinny jeans with a flowy tank. There are many ways to wear this trend, so you just have to pick what's right for you.

Even celebs get the blues. And right now, bright, deep and attention-seeking blue shades -- like cornflower, cobalt and electric -- are everywhere. Examples? Miley Cyrus donned a bright but airy blue Pucci ensemble in NYC, while actress Rashida Jones rocked a leather skirt that appeared purplish-blue...

Tees are a perfect summer wardrobe item, whether they boast big, bold graphics, band logos or photos, or personal statements. Tees that talk -- that is, ones with words splashed across the front -- have been incredibly "in" over the past year. Just ask Vanessa Hudgens and Lady Gaga, who each made statements of incredibly different sorts with their word-heavy t-shirts and demonstrated th

Graphic tees, especially those with the faces of rock stars and other assorted music icons emblazoned on them, are always in style. Just hit your local Forever 21, and you can stock up on AC/DC tanks as easily as you can Biggie Smalls tees. Miley Cyrus was recently snapped paying homage to late rapper Tupac Shakur with her T-shirt, while fashion plate Diane Kruger threw on a Rolling Stones rock te

Denim shorts are a summer wardrobe staple, whether you buy them destroyed and tattered from a retailer or grab an old pair of jeans from your closet and hack 'em up accordingly. The shorts are adorning celeb bodies in all sorts of washes and fits, with the likes of Selena Gomez, Emmy Rossum and more daring to bare and own this versatile trend -- assuming you have the legs to pull it off.

Black leather feels like the trend of the summer of 2013. It's hot, in more ways than one, and the fabric is everywhere -- dresses, leggings and jackets. Even though the weather's warm, celebs cannot get enough of leather. And lately, they're pairing cute dresses of all lengths and shapes with black leather jackets that are usually cropped and fitted...

Since they work with all hair types and textures, messy side braids are godsends for long-haired ladies. They are also an alternative to the updo and can be a quick cure-all when you can't decide what to do with those hapless tendrils. The Golden Rule for side braids? The messier, the better. It's meant to look like you just had a metaphorical romp in the hay.
