FASHION TIDBITS Keeping in style

In Style has produced a special issue called "The Look" devoted entirely to style and fashion. Here are six things you'll learn:
Hemlines on the runways roam the leg from mid-calf up to cropped mini skirts so short you don't dare bend over.
If you can smell your own perfume, you're killing the people around you.
A black sweater dress is a good buy because it works for the office as a jacket over, say, camel pants and as a dress buttoned up at night with dazzling accessories.
Designer Vera Wang says if you want to look taller, one color worn head-to-toe gives the illusion of stretching out the body. Ditto for drop waists and fluid soft lines.
Model-turned-actress Rebecca Romijn-Stamos wore long johns under her jeans no matter what the temperature when she was in high school to camouflage her skinny legs.
A pantsuit in a neutral color with flat front trousers is the best fashion value because it may be worn so many ways: At work with tailored accessories and for evening with sexy shoes and a camisole. On weekends, wear the pants with sneakers and a sporty top.
