As you may have noticed, ankle straps are a major trend this summer, and Jennifer Hudson’s sandals do it up right. One warning for short-legged ladies out there: ankle straps can cut the line of your leg and make them look stubby. Pair them with a super short skirt to balance it and add some inches to your legs.

Nail polish pairing: Well, black goes with everything, so you may as well match your dress. If it’s an inky blue number like Hudson’s, try Essie Nail Polish in Midnight Cami, $8.
