We’re loving lady-like feminine dress for spring/summer 2012. Designers — Carven, Loewe and Givenchy — have taken the suit and shortened into a variety of fresh looks you can wear with ease.

Get the Look: ‘My Fair Lady’
She may be sophisticated but this ‘Lady’ knows how to be sexy. It’s all about the short suit to keep us cool during the spring/summer months. Carven, Loewe and Givenchy turned heads with their sleek variations on femininity — High waist short-shorts paired with collared shirts, and finished off with tailored jackets. Opt for a monotone palette, or mix it up like Carven with a two toned bright shirt for a little quirkiness. Proenza Schouler took a leap into the bold world of suit dressing adding leather patches to their shorts for a harder edge. Be sure to pair your shorts with fine heels for that extra long look.
When to wear: ‘Lady Like’ dressing can take you from the office to a cocktail bar. For a bolder evening look, try leather and metal detailing to show off your ‘Lady Like’ stylish credentials.
