Stuart Weitzman Manoman cutout oxfords add some sex appeal to the menswear classic that is currently so on trend. Pair with a flouncy floral mini.
The Madden Girl Kobiee pumps sport cutouts and ruffles to add a girly touch to a sheath dress at night.
These Tom Ford Claudia sunglasses feature oversized frames (so Hollywood!) along with the tell-tale cutout detail at the temple.

Denim leggings are the new comfortable, yet sexy item that will take you stylishly from winter into spring. With all the comfort of stretchy leggings, jeggings (as this jeans-leggings hybrid is also called) offer the classic, versatile styling of skinny jeans. The first step to pulling off this trend is picking the right denim legging for you. Dark styles that slim and lengthen are my favorite. The Hudson Jeans jeggings, top left, and Paige Denim jeggings, top right, are a great pick for all body types.
Once you’ve found your perfect pair of jeggings, how will you wear them? Here are three ways to incorporate denim leggings into your wardrobe.
The Sophisticate
The sophisticated look is all about dressing up the jeggings, like you would dress up jeans.
Add a pair of sleek pumps and a tailored blazer over a long top. Platform heels are a great choice.
Vince Roll Sleeve Shrunken Blazer, $445
Jessica Simpson Michaela Platform Pump, starting at $53.76
The Casual Classic
The casual classic look is very Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O, swapping in denim leggings for their black cigarette pants. Add a long striped top (nautical stripes are hot right now) and a pair of cute ballet flats, like Tory Burch’s Reva or Steve Madden’s Heavenly Flat.
BCBGMAXAZRIA Long Strip Tee, $68
Madden Girl Heavenly Patent Flat, $39.95
The Girl Out on the Town
For a night out, add to the sexiness of the sleek silhouette of denim leggings with a sparkly top and our favorite hot shoe, the OTK boot. On a tight budget? Check out this sequined tunic from a.n.a., it’s just $19.99! If you want less shimmer, try the Zoa Sequin Panel Tunic. The sequin design is limited to one shoulder/sleeve. It would look great with some silver bangles or a cuff bracelet on the other arm.
