The spring /summer trends for this year are so varied there is definitely something for everyone.

Monochrome is a big look this season and vertical and horizontal  stripes are really a big influence on the high street. And one I particularly love is the Little Black Dress and white stilettos with a white neck scarf, a great look for the summer and so achievable from your capsule wardrobe.

However if you don’t  have these items:

• Think about your shape before you buy. There are some clever designs out there to hide and camouflage the post-Xmas pounds.
• Vertical stripes will always make you look taller: for petites a must. Block Patterns that are close together will always make you look smaller.
• Look out for white stilettos – a big look for summer  – you can still find bargains from last summer that will be huge this summer!
