If you feel confused or overwhelmed by the choice of trouser styles around for summer, fear not. We’ve put together a fool-proof guide to choosing the best styles for your bodyshape and how to wear them with confidence and oomph!
1. Cargo Pants
This style is great for top-heavy figures who have great legs and slim hips. Team with flat sandals for a wearable and comfortable alternative to jeans, or heeled gladiator sandals for a cool evening look.
The skinniness of the trousers requires a top with some volume to balance them out. And offset the masculinity of them with some pretty jewellery, and a funky cross-shoulder bag.

‘Tis the time of year to dust off your party dresses and get glammed up. If parties make your heart sink because you feel you’ve got nothing to wear, fear not. Here’s our guide to the best party frocks and how to wear them to turn heads.
One-shoulder Dresses
These take attention to the shoulder area and away from the hips – “Hooray,” I hear you cry!
As this dress makes a stunning statement, you need very little to dress it up other than a fab pair of earrings.
You can even cheat by wearing something that gives the illusion of a one-shoulder dress such as this Whistles dress.

Here are our Top 10 Tips on how to layer with style:
1. If you’re going to layer with a vest top, don’t stick to just black and white. Luckily, vests and camisoles are available in a huge variety of colours at all different price points. Use them to add a pop of colour to your outfit – they’re a brilliant way to try out new colours. Just make sure they’re in flattering colours that suit your skintone and hair and eye colour.
If you’re going to be shedding layers, make sure the straps of your vest are wide enough so that you don’t feel self conscious.
And think about the bra you’re wearing with your outfit. It’s fine to have the straps on show if they’re a lovely colour or a pretty print, but keep frayed or grey straps out of sight!
If you’re wearing a higher neck top, try layering that with a bright or contrasting colour peeking out underneath the bottom of your top – it adds a nice point of interest. This can create the illusion of a low slung belt. It’s also a useful way of adding length to tops that you feel are too short for you.

Summertime’s arrived (so the clocks say), and the invites have started dropping on the doormat. It could be a wedding, a day at the races, a landmark birthday, an evening at the opera, a graduation ceremony, or perhaps another important family event.
These are, of course, all wonderful occasions that you’re looking forward to attending, but do you have that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach and a feeling of dread that just won’t go away? “What on earth am I going to wear!?”
The first thing to do is to check the dress code for the event to get an idea of what is expected and what other people will be wearing. You may not have the perfect outfit hanging in your wardrobe ready to be whisked out and accessorised, so you may need to start thinking about a shopping trip. Don’t leave it until the last minute, you’ll only put yourself under more pressure, and end up panic buying.
Take a deep breath, have a think about the sort of oufit you’d like to see youself wearing, and collect some pictures from magazines that appeal to you.
The outfit you choose should be more fun than your work wear, smarter than your weekend wear, and more grown up than your going out gear – all this without losing sight of your personality or turning into a dreaded frump!
The other thing you might want to consider is this. Buy an outfit and accessories that become investment buys ie. those you absolutely adore because you love how good you look in them, but also can wear in different ways with different pieces on different occasions so you know you’ve spent your money wisely.
Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention, the outfit should fit you perfectly, be the perfect style for your bodyshape and the perfect colour that make you look radiant and glowing.

Top Tips For Dressing Slimmer
When we look at someone we are literally looking them up and down. Therefore, the key to looking slimmer is to create vertical lines with your outfits and the eye will travel up and down your body to make you look taller and more slender magic!
Conversely, the opposite happens when you create a horizontal line with seams, patterns, etc. In this case, the eye will stop looking up and down and go from side to side. Therefore, you should wear any horizontal lines across your slimmest parts only to draw attention to them.
Vertical and horizontal lines can be created in a number of ways by artfully using seams, pleats, tiers, patterns, jewellery, scarves, epaulettes, detailing, pockets, turn ups, changes in colour, hemlines, etc.
