Another major office (and even more baffling, out-of-the-office) fashion DON'T that always reappears when the temperatures spike is the short-sleeved button-down shirt. I have two words for you: Dwight Schrute. At least wear it in a solid color, no prints

Women: Follow the basic role of accentuating (or exposing) one area at a time. So if you're showing a lot of leg, put away the cleavage. If you're wearing a strapless dress, slightly lower the hem past peek-a-boo status. Men: No one wants to see your upper thighs. Fact. P.S. Denim on denim is very in these days -- needless to say, he didn't pull off the look.... more

And this is probably the most common summer fashion DON'T. Pink underwear with white skirts, neon bras with see-through tops, lacy outlines in skin-tight white pants, and now I'm just shaking my head at the long list of no-nos. Go feel and be sexy in a nude thong -- it can be a wonderful thing.

I'd like to believe this mistake ends around age 21, but not so. I know it's hot out, but there's a fine line between underwear and shorts -- and that line is the bottom crease of your tush.

OK, we have bear paws as feet on the bottom accompanied by booty-showing skirts on top. Since when was this ever the style? This goes for all winter-summer combos, like beanie hats, sweatshirts, knee-high boots and oh, the list goes on.

I know it's intended to be cute, not shocking, but it is the latter. Exposing your baby to all the sun exposure is just as bad as the skin exposure. Can we please let a kid be a kid?

 ...Or in this case, an exposed bra. It's become almost admissible to have bra straps peeking out from tank tops -- and it's almost always the dingy-looking bra that's been washed too many times -- but can we agree that this looks flattering on no one? Ladies, the strapless bra exists.

 
If you're buying an $800 swimsuit that you're not even sure should get wet, we need to talk. And what's up with the tan lines you'll be toting around the next day? Not cute.

I have no words. Just stop it. I mean, seriously?

When it comes to summer fashion, certain style choices are best left in the past. At the top of the list? Socks with sandals. This controversial combination has sparked debates for years, but unless you're making an ironic fashion statement, it's a major don’t.

Longines is one of those companies that is so technologically advanced that it’s responsible for launching many technological breakthroughs in the world of watch making. The company manages to do this while still having a firm hold on elegance and style.
 The company was created in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Longines watches are known for their unique combination of precision and elegance. The company’s tagline in its advertising is very suitable: “Elegance is an attitude.”
 Anyone wearing a Longines watch is justified in having an attitude. Not only do they get an elegant, well-crafted timepiece with a timeless contemporary style, but they also have the distinct honour of wearing a watch from a company that has made history many times over.
