Want To Know How To Wear A Mini Skirt - Just Follow Cameron Diaz's Fashion Tips

Cameron Diaz has been hitting the headlines during the last couple of weeks, not only for her car racing talent, which was demonstrated on the BBC's program "Top Gear", but also for the stylish outfits she has been wearing around the globe on her red carpet appearances alongside Tom Cruise for their latest film - Knight and Day. Lets face it, not many girls could get away with wearing a jumper dress on the red carpet, and still manage to exude the glamour and confidence Cameron shows here.

Yes, it's so true that Cameron has the perfect long legs just made for the super short hemlines that she loves to wear but if you've ever wondered if you could get away with wearing some of the tiny skirts and dresses that Cameron loves there are some simple rules to follow, which will have you looking as stylish as Cameron every time.

• Bare legs look amazing with mini-skirts - our preference is a light, tanned look. If you are worried your legs are too pale or you have imperfections, think about using leg makeup - even Kylie admits she uses body makeup to get the perfect finish. Look for Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - this is cool little spray which can be sprayed on and blended where needed. You will be amazed that imperfections you worry about go totally unnoticed by everyone else. Wear this look with peep-toe shoes like Cameron here, or with glamorous sandals to show off your legs even more.
• If you are not brave enough to bare all, or you are feeling the chill factor, a great look is over-knee socks which gives a cheeky style to your outfit. Or choose patterned opaque or fishnet tights, but make sure you wear these styles with flats, rather than high heels or stilettos.
• If you are wearing a tight, fitted mini skirt, wear a loose style top or shirt, and also vice versa - if you are wearing a flared or gathered mini, then choose a fitted style top. There are some fantastic feminine mini-skirts which are totally on trend at the moment, with wide elastic waistbands in glamorous gold or silver on floaty, gathered skirts.
• The same sort of rule goes for patterned skirts - go crazy with your minis, wear them patterned with stripes, zig-zags, flowers, circles, in denim, suede or sparkling fabrics, but make sure you keep your top understated and fairly neutral.
• Cameron is known to love black and white - it's an essential core of her wardrobe - she wore a black and white Vionnet Resort 2011 mini dress with a sash at the French premier of K&D - again a perfect dress to show off tanned legs. Black and white is a classic style, and a mini-dress in black and white with classic black high heeled pumps and accessories is perfect for a more formal occasion.

For Summer and Autumn Make Cargo Pants A Necessary Item In Your Wardrobe Too

Cargo pants were originally around in the 1990s, and were designed for rough and tough outdoor activities. Now they are here as a cool and necessary fashion item. They can be seen adorning the pins of many celebrities such as Gwen Stefani and Jessica Biel, but the girl who probably has the most pairs, and who has been wearing them for well over a decade, is Jennifer Aniston. She is rumoured to have a pair of red Maharishi cargo pants that she has had since the 90's - almost vintage!

The Baggy Kind Of Cargo Pants

Well, these are the kind that we see Jennifer wearing here, looking pretty cool, rolled up with espadrille sandals and a white vest top - this outfit would be perfect for pottering around tiny sun drenched streets whilst shopping or sight-seeing on holiday.

Casual cargo pants are ideal to be worn with fitted t-shirts, a boyfriend shirt tied at the front, or if the sun is out on holiday or at a festival, with a bikini or cropped top.

They are the perfect casual pants and the casual look should be finished off with a leather belt and flip-flops or espadrille sandals. They are so versatile, and also great for travelling in, as even when creased, they still look cool and stylish.

The Skinny Kind of Cargo Pants - The Latest Trend

Every fashion store, both on the high street and on-line, has racks of skinny cargo pants to choose from. The difference with the fitted cargo pant is that you can dress them up, rather than keeping it casual with the loose fitting styles. Try the following looks with a pair of fitted, skinny cargo pants:

• For a lunch out with friends, roll up the hem of your pants to just above your ankle, and team up with a pretty and feminine blouse, a pretty necklace or beads and platform sandals. The combination of tough, edgy pants with feminine accessories is a look to die for.
• With a pair of figure hugging cargo pants, wear them on a night out. Combine them with a glam strappy top, pumps with towering heels, sparkling jewellery and clutch bag.
• Going out with friends shopping, you may want a little more comfort. Wear your fitted cargos with flat sandals, a plain white fitted t-shirt, a light-weight cardigan over your shoulders, a pretty scarf and a canvas bag.

Cargo pants are definitely a must have for this season, and we think they will also be around for a while to come - you never know, you might end up with a favourite pair that you will want to keep as long as Jennifer has been rumoured to have kept hers
