It only makes sense that, when temperatures rise, so would hemlines. In fact, just one long day with sticky skin may leave even the biggest maxi enthusiasts [1] at least considering a chop for humidity's sake. (Plus, there's something so easy about a short dress paired with sandals [2], heels, or sneakers . . . or all three in the same day.)
