1. **Feminine fabrics
**Silk blouses, sheer singlets, ruffled party dresses. Imagine the kinds of fabric you simply wouldn’t find in your man’s wardrobe and you’re onto something. Be sure to check the washing tags when shopping as some silks require dry-cleaning only.
2. **Westie influences
**Well, sort of. oversized, crocheted tops, leather tassles, studs, zips, animal prints and fringes will bring a little biker chic to wardrobes this summer. Try to pick one item rather than decking yourself out head to toe, and soften the look with pinks or pastels.
3. **one-shouldered tops, bikinis and dresses
**This sexy style is oh-so Grecian and perfect for hot summer days and sun-kissed skin. Skip the necklace with this asymmetrical style and go for an interesting pair of earrings instead.
4. **Bright colours
**Carnival yellow, cobalt blue, and bold oranges are a reminder warmer weather is coming. A good option for conservative tastes is to add an accessory in one of these hues. Bright coloured shoes can really spice up an outfit.
**5. The little white dress
**Not into colour? If you have the right skin tone, you’ll look amazing in fashionably crisp white. Skip the little black dress and go for this tan-enhancing new trend.
**6. Harem pants
**This trend is just getting started. Go for weighty, drapey fabrics that create a sensual silhouette and pair them with a simple t-shirt or tank top and heels or roman sandals for exotic elegance.
**7. High-waisted shorts, skirts and trousers
**Not everyone can pull off this look. But if you have an hour-glass figure, a monochrome, high-waisted garment can accentuate your curves. Shorter women may also find this style gives the illusion of longer legs. Add a belt for extra definition.
**8. Ripped jeans
**The 80s are back in the form of your most distressed denims. Try a bleached wash in a straight leg and wear heels and a simple jacket to dress up this slightly dishevelled look.
**9. Ankle-baring trousers
**Tall women will especially suit this trend in which the humble capri pant makes a comeback. Pair them with heels as this style tends to create the illusion of a shorter leg.
**10. Statement shoes
**Add a sense of humour to your outfit next time you’re dressing for an occasion. We’re not just talking about the trend for high stilettos or chunky platforms but shoes that come with their own accessories – tassles, jewels, and interesting heel shapes. Go wild!
