The It List

Miami

No matter the season, in Miami the fashion forecast is always hot! In fact, with its sandy beaches, art nouveau architecture, and unremitting sunshine, South Beach has attracted so many celebrities and fashion designers - it's become its own fashion galaxy. It's the town where you can pack a full vacation of fun into a weekend, so pack light but pack right!

THE SKINNY

Jeans are a must have on any trip, but in Miami make them skinny! In this city it's not just the sun that sizzles - the nightlife is a mega-watt party with rhythms from techno to Latin. And nothing looks hotter on the dance floor than long, lean, leggy jeans topped with a sparkle tank or tee. Spike up your dancing-queen look with strappy high heels.

IN THE SWIM

In Miami you just can't avoid a beach or a pool. If body or board surfing is your thing, choose a suit that feels secure; a tanksuit or tankini will do. If pool-side sunbathing is more your speed, go for the glamour with a bikini or bedazzled, jeweled one-piece.

MIAMI NICE

Amid the sambas and rhumbas there are places to enjoy a quiet, relaxing dinner with a top chef menu that shows why Miami is fast becoming one of the world's fine-dining destinations. Dress up by dressing down - cool the hot colors, turn off the bright-light sparkles, and go for sun-chic attire - a well-tailored shift dress, slacks and a tunic, or a summer-knit tank over a streamlined skirt.

FUN IN THE SUNDRESS

Nothing feels as feminine as a sundress, and in Miami, every day is a sundress day. So take your pick of the flirty and fabulous - print or solid, knit or woven - there's a sundress that shows off your fun side.
