Menswear in Milan

With Milan Fashion Week over now, I've been searching through all the celeb red carpet looks I've seen, and this one of Naomi Watts caught my eye. Can you believe this woman just had a baby?? Take a lesson from her on dressing to slenderize your figure. Black - always a plus. Cropped pants are always so very Italian chic - and are perfect for calling attention to those drop-dead gorgeous heels you just purchased (by the way, I love these! what a nice twist on the classic black stiletto.)

The white blouse underneath contrasts nicely with the black, and I especially love the way it's turned up under her blazer (the V-neck and bow are nice details). The way the blazer hits at the hip is flattering because it doesn't overwhelm the outfit and cuts close enough to the body to slim.
The black creates one long, flattering line sure to make anyone look at least 5 pounds lighter.

P.S. Check out these "cocktail capris" I bought at J.Crew on Madison Ave. while in the city for Fashion Week. Can't wait to wear these in a few more weeks!
