"  In this week&amp;#039;s Fashion Q&amp;amp;A, Cosmopolitan.com&amp;#039;s style editor, Charles Manning, answers your questions about high heels versus flats, the best underwear for avoiding panty lines, and how to make denim on denim work for you. Q: I usually wear heels because I think they&amp;#039;re sexier, but lately I&amp;#039;ve been going for casual drinks in flats and getting hit on. Is there something to a flat shoe that&amp;#039;s enticing, and which ones should I be wearing? A: It&amp;#039;s possible that guys see your flats and think, &amp;quot;Hey, she seems chill and low maintenance.&amp;quot; Or that they are less intimidated than they might be if you had the added height a pair of heels would normally give you. It&amp;#039;s also possible that they never noticed your shoes in the first place and were responding to something you were not even aware of. There&amp;#039;s really no way of knowing.  As sexy as high heels are, their real value lies in how they make you feel and how you project that feeling out into the world. If you feel cool, laid back, and confident, it doesn&amp;#039;t really matter how high your heels are. And although there are not nearly as many fabulous flats in the world as there are fabulous heels, there is usually an appropriate flat equivalent for any high heel.

A: Certain skirts seem destined for panty lines no matter what you do (I&amp;#039;m talking to you, jersey!). Your best bet is a G-string \u2014 that&amp;#039;s what professional stylists use \u2014 but if you&amp;#039;re uncomfortable with a thong, a G-string is probably completely out of the question. In that case, I would recommend a laser-cut brief or boyshort, which should offer you fuller coverage without risking the dreaded VPL. If panty lines persist, though, it may be time to give that skirt the old heave-ho, because, sadly, there&amp;#039;s no magic underwear out there that can fix a too tight skirt in too-thin fabric.

A: I love denim on denim. You really can&amp;#039;t go wrong in my opinion, but if you&amp;#039;re overwhelmed by all that indigo, try using a cool, rustic hip belt to break up the look. Also, when you&amp;#039;re rocking head-to toe indigo, it&amp;#039;s generally a good idea to wear lighter denim on top and darker denim on the bottom, since it brings attention up toward your face. Also, the more skin you can show, the better. Try jean shorts instead of full pants, roll up your sleeves, and leave your top few buttons undone. Layering is also a good option, since it adds visual interest and helps distract from all that blue. Try adding a coat or jacket in another neutral color like black, white, or khaki and throw on a pair of knee-high leather boots to break up the legs a bit, or layer a cute tee or tank under a denim shirt. Don&amp;#039;t worry about looking too western. If you stick with clean washes and fitted silhouettes, you should be fine.
