Long dresses from the spring 2009 runway
Spring 2009 runway looks - (l) Chloe; (r) Elie Saab.

This spring, think lily long - the trend fits all figures and inspires a young and flirty spirit when worn on those breezy summer days.

Broaden your outlook and think beyond long dresses. Floor sweeping jumpsuits should also be tossed into your summer wardrobe rotation.

Most figures can pull off the jumpsuit. Consider if a long and loose design flatters your figure or a fitted, cropped pant design suits your slender frame. If you have great towering shoulders, look for a strapless dress or jumper. If you are top heavy, cropped or tapered leg designs with a billowing top may flatter your figure. If you are bottom heavy, slim top - perhaps a plunging neckline - and a long and loose bottom will send heads turning.

Runways were not lacking in long looks for the sporty chic chick or the uptown headed to a Hamptons' summer soiree mam'selle. Accessorize with hats, major neckpieces, silk rope belts and large multiple bangles. There is no trend you cannot pair with 6-inch platform sandals - NONE. It is all about attitude, confidence and grace and it has been so for some seasons now so find your inner fierceness. Lose the modesty and pick up a jewel colored, neck breaking design and cause some accidents - is that not what the summer is all about? Bright prints, leather trim and metal details, tanks and tees underneath - this summer make it all about you.

No matter your figure, the long looks are worth researching and hunting down.
