There’s something of a headwear revival going on – helped in no small part by the veritable feast of fashion on show at the Royal Wedding.

Royal Ascot last week crowned the comeback of headgear, with a range of hats, hairpieces and fascinators sported by everyone from princesses to horse owners.

Fascinators really are the must-have at the moment, and are the perfect finishing touch for any occasional dress.

White is very much in fashion at the moment, along with lace, so if you want to add a trendy touch to your summer style, any lace headband could be an ideal start.

More formal occasions call for more formal fascinators – and with feathers also making their mark on catwalks worldwide, you could find a beautiful design that’s both elegant and fashionable.

For many years, green has been one of the least-favourite colours of the fashion world.

It has traditionally been the hardest colour to sell – but now bright green is lighting up the catwalks.

Don’t be scared of bright colours this summer – the prime minister’s wife has already led the way with a bright green dress at the Scottish fashion awards last week.

Green is all about daring to be different, and works particularly well against tanned skin tones – so it could be the perfect colour to perk up your post-holiday blues.

Dark green can look sapping, so make sure you mix it with a bit of sparkle to stop it seeming dreary, or mix your greens together – choose wisely, mind – to achieve a layered, textured look that’s bound to turn heads.

If you don’t fancy adopting green full-time, it’s still worth considering green for your occasional dresses, to make sure you’re setting the trends at any wedding or party this season.

With barbecue season hotting up, and burgers and sausages sizzling on grills country-wide, there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy a smoking feast in the evening sunshine.

But it’s worth thinking about what to wear to help you feel cool and relaxed as you eat in the heat.

Unless you’re planning to barbecue late into the evening, it’s best to avoid jeans as you could end up too hot.

A floral, floaty dress with a chunky cardigan or jumper could be the perfect mix of care-free summer style and practical consideration of the weather – you can always lose the cardy if you get too hot!

Try not to wear anything too grand – a barbecue isn’t likely to be as classy as a garden party – so aim for a touch of style but don’t overdress.

The latest fashions shouldn’t be your only consideration – if you’re a particular fan of barbecued ribs, chicken wings and finger food, be sure to grab some serviettes so you don’t end up with sticky fingerprints on your clothes!

When the sun is shining, nothing beats the glow of a flowery summer dress.

Floral patterns are bright, attractive and colourful, and the patterns never seem to go out of fashion.

Styles change, however, so if you’re searching out the perfect floral outfit, shop smart – you can easily find dress shapes that will still be ‘in’ next year.

If you’re feeling bold, you could try going for a bright, block-colour dress with floral accessories, such as bracelets or brooches.

There’s an endless array of petal-powered women’s fashion items, and if you’re not planning to bare your legs this season, a long, flowing flowery skirt could be an ideal way to get into the summer spirit without going overboard.

And remember that adding some colourful sandals or tights will really set off your outfit.

With Royal Ascot in full swing, the latest ladies’ fashions are on show at the annual horse racing event.

It’s famed as much for fashion as it is for horse-racing – with countless designer hats and dresses on show.

The famous Ladies’ Day gives woman the chance to flaunt their figures, fascinators and the latest in fashionable women’s dresses.

Of course, not everyone can afford to splash the cash for the racing week – but there’s a great selection of Royal dresses on offer at Roman Original this weekend.

With a range including cocktail dresses, V-necks and roundnecks, sleeved and unsleeved and in a range of eye-catching colours – and all at discounted prices – there’s no reason not to treat yourself.
