Summer is possibly one of the best months for fashion, not only are the catwalks alive with an assortment of new season attire, the sun actually allows us to slip into those cutesy little denim cut off shorts, a tiddly camisole, thick strappy flat sandals and yes, a trilby.  This season’s must-have essential, not only will you look stylishly cool, you will be keeping yourself fashionably safe at the same time by keeping those rays of your head.

Maxi dresses are another must-have and look just as chic as cut-offs and are another thing to team those stylish chunky sandals with!  Finish the look with a pair of aviators and you are set for the sun!

Both the above outfits are equally as practical and are also great festival attire.  Team delicate longer length chains with either for a sweet and innocent look or alternatively super chunky bracelets and statement jewels for a more up-market and ‘look at me’ look!

And we haven’t forgotten the guys, roll up your trews for the ultimate summer look boys! Team your new-look trousers with a pair of summer slip on shoes for a laid-back look.

Fashion forward thinking

Do embrace colour, pastels and light mauves are great summer shades, they also go really well with a lot of girly colours, which is great news if you wish to create a really feminine look.

Orange, blues and hot hues are however just as important and if you want to make a statement opt for a brighter set of shades for this summer season!

Never hide your silhouette, as baggy attire will only make you look bigger than you are!  High waisted shorts are great on curvy girls and work really well with a cute vest or tee.

Set your own style, different fashions works on different people so don’t feel like you have to follow the flock!

Don’t compare yourself to different individuals, you are your own person and you should dress in a way that says this and expresses your own style rather than a copy of others.

Do dress up; never be afraid to really push the boat out!!  That is what being a girl is all about and a night on the tiles is an excuse to put on those heels and that sparkly dress ASAP!
