What to wear? What to wear? It is a decision that each player attending the draft must make. Do you keep it simple or try to make a statement? Do you go with a dress or a suit? If you go with a suit, do you wear pants or a skirt? WNBA players have many options when putting their draft-day outfit together and through the years have shown their style with much success.

Last year, Candace Parker (photo) got things started in the right direction with her all-white pant suit. Any coincidence that a phenom from the NBA named LeBron James (photo) also wore all white on Draft day?

Perhaps the biggest fashion statement of last year's draft came from No. 2 pick Sylvia Fowles (photo), who topped off her black pants, white shirt and black vest with a black fedora hat.

Making the right fashion choice can help make your memories of draft day all the better. You want to smile - not cringe - when you look back at the photos from such an important day, so choose your outfit wisely. Otherwise you can be immortalized with the likes of Karl Malone (photo) - with his mis-matched suit and too-short tie - or Jalen Rose (photo) - who decided to stick with his namesake and wear a rose-red suit with pinstripes.

To help this year's draft class avoid a fashion faux pas, we have asked several current WNBA players to offer some advice to this year's draftees.

Sophia Young, San Antonio Silver Stars Drafted: 1st Round, 4th Pick, 2006 Sophia's advice to the rookies: Please dress in something that you would usually wear. Do not show up in a dress if you know you have never worn a dress before in your life because people will just laugh at you. Be you; just be a better, more fashionable you. Sophia rates her own outfit: I'm very pleased with what I wore. I just happened to have on my team colors, which made everything even more exciting. You should check out a picture of me and see how cute I looked.

Shameka Christon, New York Liberty Drafted: 1st Round, 5th Pick, 2004 Shameka rates her own outfit and offers her advice to the rookies: When I look back on Draft day, it is safe to say that I am happy with what I wore. I wore a black dress and black heels. I kept it simple; and that is the advice that I would give to the rookies. Be comfortable, be yourself, but keep it simple. Personally, I would avoid any stripes or busy patterns. Trust me, the TV won't make it look the same way your mirror made it look. But seriously, be yourself! It is your day and you deserve to look and feel your best. Good luck to all the rookies!! See ya on the court real soon!

What players have said in the past

	Seimone Augustus, Minnesota Lynx "Don't overdo it! But don't underdo it, either! Just find your comfort zone, whether it's a pantsuit or a nice skirt or whatever. Whatever you feel comfortable in. Because after your name is called, you'll have a lot of business to attend to. Comfortable shoes! No heels!"
	Cappie Pondexter, Phoenix Mercury "Wear something you feel comfortable in. Fashion to me isn't about what's new or what's hot. It's more about how you feel and what makes you confident. So just look nice… look businesslike. And have fun, because it's an experience you'll never forget."
	Sancho Lyttle, Atlanta Dream "My coaches told me what to wear to the draft, I didn't really want to get dressed up but they told me this was the one day to look special, I guess this moment is going to be your picture for years to come so you can do better than just sweats, so just put on some comfortable to you, businesslike, but you want to look good on TV, and people will say oh yeah, she wore something good."
	Lindsay Whalen, Connecticut Sun "Just wear something that looks nice. Don't make it a bigger ordeal than it is. Just enjoy the experience and wear some comfortable shoes because you're in them all day."
