What better way to show off your summer tan than by wearing top-to-toe white? Whether you prefer feminine ruffles and draping, or stark minimal lines, white is THE colour to be seen in this summer. Team with Perspex jewellery for a futuristic feel, or layer with soft neutrals for a laid-back, hippie-chick look.

Thanks to summer's safari trend, shorts are everywhere this season, which gives us girls the perfect excuse to show off our legs. Look for shades of khaki and beige and wear with a chunky brown leather belt, gladiator sandals and a billowing white shirt. For evening, choose silky metallics and team with a camisole and blazer. But remember… whichever way you wear your shorts, a turn up is essential.

The summer dress is a wardrobe staple and this season there are so many great styles to choose from. Soft draped styles ooze poolside glamour and are a great thrown over a bikini. The maxi dress will take you seamlessly from the beach to the bar, whilst a crisp cotton shirtdress is the sophisticated choice for summer work wear.

Coral is the perfect complement to the sea of neutrals favoured by designers this summer. A classic shift dress in coral will look chic teamed with nude sandals and a simple clutch, while a pair of coral killer heels will brighten up any outfit.

As the weather heats up, so do the trends, and this season we're wearing our underwear on the outside! Don't be scared - this is a trend to have fun with and it's completely up to you how far you go. From as little as showing your bra strap or a wearing a lace-trimmed satin camisole to wearing a corset or a silk slip skirt, this look is about femininity and showing off your figure without being trashy. Mix in tougher fabrics like jersey and denim for a more daytime look or choose lace and sheer paneling for a night out.

Spring's sportswear trend hits the beach! Look for bright shades of aqua, blue, yellow and green, cutaway swimsuits and dresses, zips and neoprene. The tight-fitting body con styles favoured by this trend will show off your toned physique and ensure you make a splash this summer!
