They are the ultimate comfort clothing – easy to sling on or throw off, and perfect for the changeable summer weather. But cardigans often get a bad reputation as being outdated or frumpy.
It doesn’t have to be the case for women’s clothing.
Long-gone are the Noel Coward-esque cardigans of the 20th Century. A good cardigan can now be as trendy and fashionable as a pricey handbag or pair of flashy shoes.
One of the main things to consider is the fit and length of a cardigan.
If you opt for something chunky or bulky, try matching it with a pair of jeans or trousers as you could exaggerate your figure if you mix it with a flowing skirt.
Alternatively, a light cardigan could add something feminine – but practical – if you’re opting for a dress, halterneck or maxi dress.
Length-wise, long cardigans can look alternative, arty and cool, but try to avoid anything too short as it could make your hips look big.

Lace is being touted as the ‘stealth’ trend of the summer – and it’s sudden soar in popularity has taken a few fashionistas by surprise.
Perhaps buoyed by ‘that’ dress at the Royal Wedding, lace has become the must-have ladies’ fashion for summer – whether it’s worn by pop stars at festivals, or high-society ladies moving in political circles.
Going all-out with lace is probably not advisable – unless you’re feeling particularly daring. But little lace touches add delicacy and class to an outfit, and you’ll be bang on trend.
White is the predominant colour of this summer – but red and blue lace works just as well. A simple touch of lace in an evening dress or top will really liven up your look – adding interesting texture and intricate detail. It can even work with colour-blocking – another summer trend – and works for casual and formal wear.
Remember that you don’t need to plump for a wedding dress-style lace look, it’s not about showing off. It’s about adding a feminine, soft touch – so don’t be scared to look for something that suits your style, and either customise it, or look for a garment that already has a touch of lace.

With summer providing the perfect time to show off your figure, many women may be worrying about their size.
Wanting to drop a dress size usually involves a life-changing decision – whether that’s getting more exercise, sticking to a diet plan, or, at the very worst, going under the knife.
But there are easier ways to drop a dress size without even needing to put in any effort.
It may have taken a while for manufacturers to cotton on, but you can now get a flatter tummy simply by choosing special underwear.
Similar to a pair of long tights, control underwear can help tuck in your tummy, giving you a slimmer, flatter figure without any effort.
A lot of research has gone into materials which don’t press too hard or get uncomfortable – meaning you can wear control tights for a long time without discomfort.

The 70s are currently in revival – doing away with figure-hugging skinny jeans and reintroducing the High Street to flares.
Denim is one of the most universal fabrics – worn everywhere, by everyone, at some point in their lives.
Previous denim revivals have favoured deeper colours or washed-out, ‘distressed’ looks – but plain old pale denim is back with a bang this summer.
By the end of the summer, denim’s revival should be complete – and it’s the ideal fabric to ease the transition from the warm summer to the chillier autumn.
A pair of light denim cropped jeans could replace boring old shorts and add a touch of the latest women’s fashions to your summer wardrobe.
Denim dresses are great too, light enough to keep you cool, and can be mixed with a whole rainbow of colours to personalise your look.
