A crochet dress can be a great investment!

During the warm summer months we often seek out fashion that has more of an effortless, elegant undone and easy feel. Crochet fits the bill perfectly. From cardigans to tops, dresses and beyond, crochet is one of those 70s inspired looks you can wear over and over again. Crochet clothing and details are all over summer styles this season, but how do you wear the look without looking like an out-of-date hippie! So here's how I would take this trendy piece and make it wearable even in small towns.

The pencil skirt is fashion gold!

Ladylike and demure or sexy and sophisticated, the pencil skirt is fashion gold. This season it takes centre stage in clashing colour ways and on-trend patterns. Skirts are also a fabulous way to show off your legs, hosiery, shoes and look sexy.

Time to show off a little more skin with light and airy fashions!

Summers are at their peak and it's time to show off a little more skin with light and airy fashions. Summer is incomplete without ......light and airy 'Summer dress'. Maxis or Minis.... Sleeves or no sleeves - the quest for the perfect summer dress is surprisingly difficult. After an exhaustive trawl of the high street, here's my indispensable guide to the best this season has to offer -

1. Little Black Dress - Little black dresses are excellent outfits to be worn for ladies night outs. It is a possible option to wear this in the event you plan to go out with your boyfriend to spend a romantic evening. However, don’t wear a dress that’s too short. Wear high-heeled shoes with this black dress to give your legs a slimmer appearance. Throwing a shawl or blazer over the shoulder is really a great option when you have large arms.

How are you planning to style your silk shorts?

Silk Shorts are a current fashion staple celebrated by many style conscious and trend-savvy fashionistas. This trend will see you through an entire stylish summer. They are available at Reliance Trends in all quirky and subtle prints. Printed shorts are as stylish as they are comfortable and exude summer’s easy best vibe in all the right ways. They are sophisticated yet fun at same time and are perfect for a hot day to warm night transition. With a slightly roomy fit, these shorts are highly flattering too. This style shares some style traits with a skater skirt, but has the wonderful ability to prevent embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions in breezy weather.
