Watch and learn how to achieve those perfect, sexy waves with just a few tricks and how to capture that molten glow from head to toe.

We hit the streets of Park City, Utah, the home of The Sundance Film Festival to bring you the best, worst, and downright criminal in festival style. Let's start with the good: Southwestern prints, statement-making accessories, and leather detailing were among some of our favorite trends that we spotted on the ladies of Park City, while clashing colors and over-layering served as some festival-goers' fashion downfall. Who had the absolute worst outfit of the week-long affair? Watch this latest episode of The Thread to find out!

We chatted with the big names to see how they avoid the dreaded wardrobe malfunction, and enlisted fashion expert Jay Manuel to weigh in on his favorite plunging necklines, daring slits, and unexpected cut-outs.

You know the saying, "dress for success!" Well, believe it or not, that age-old cliche has a ring of truth. Whether you're at work or at play, your clothing choices send a message about you--are you sending the one you want? Stay tuned and find out on this episode of The Thread!

Do you: stick to the same, drab neutrals? If you rarely if ever switch up your Plain Jane look, you're telling the world that you much prefer to blend in or that you're in a fashion rut. No one ever said having some fun with your style wasn't allowed!

Do you: hoard your old clothes? We all love some good vintage elements here and there, but if your look is retro all-over, you may be saying that you're afraid of moving forward. Stick to one retro style element at a time, like a Peter Pan collar or scalloped hem--just not at the same time.
