Via Catwalk Queen The Maxi Dress TrendPerhaps almost as a slap in the face to the Mini Dress Trend, celebrities have been spotted around wearing long, ankle length casual dresses. It's a shock to the system after wearing teeny tiny dresses for so long. Jessica Biel was seen playing ball with a dog in the park, wearing a long figure hugging blue dress.

Here are ten of the hottest ways to make your work-wear more interesting, right now: 1. Take an oversized suit jacket and wear it as a mini-dress. Take a long or oversized jacket, put it over an equally-oversized singlet or shirt; add opaque tights, some sexy pumps and there you have it! If the jacket isn't quite long enough to be worn as a dress, add a super-short, super-tight black miniskirt. 2. Try it with wide-leg, high-waist pants. Tuck in a shirt or tee, add a great belt. This won't be suited to everybody, but can certainly work if done right.

Actually, let's expand on that. As a major trend, it's certainly no longer mainstream - but don't go throwing out your clothing and boots just yet, we're sure they've still got plenty of wear left in them depending on how you match and accessorise them. After all, if you couldn't get away with it we wouldn't have given you tips for getting Boho bed hair only yesterday, would we? But what's the replacement? Converse All Stars for the StarsFirst sold in 1917 and once a feature of the grunge look, Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars (also known simply as Chucks) have moved steadily from subculture to main stream. Comfortable as a day shoe, though incredibly casual they've been dressed up and down and have been seen on everyone from Sienna Miller to Doctor Who.
While Sienna Miller gains street-cred from the Chucks, David Tennant's Doctor Who defines geek chic.

Wonderjocks are sold for $32.95 each and have been worn by Daniel Radcliffe (of Harry Potter fame), and Ewan McGregor.
