The humble scarf is a misleading fashion accessory – as versatile and adaptable as anything else in a woman’s wardrobe.
Constantly wearing a scarf may be a fashion faux pas, but if you know how to wear a scarf, and when, it can be an amazing accessory.
Scarves are a staple for ladies’ fashion – and they are always trendy.
The default scarf look is, obviously, tied around your neck. In summer, going for something tight isn’t going to look great, and is going to make you too hot.
If you don’t want fabric hanging down over your outfit, scoop the loose ends up and tie them into loops, making it easier to tuck into a high-necked coat or collar.
You can adopt your scarf as headwear if it starts to rain – go for something loosely tied over your head though, or you could look uptight.
Wearing a scarf over your shoulders is another option – a look made better by a particularly colourful or patterned scarf. You don’t want too big a piece of material, or it could look like a cape – perhaps folding the scarf before flinging it over your shoulders will prevent it looking too grand.

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.
If you’re worrying about the latest women’s fashions, and have been stopping yourself wearing certain clothes because you’re worried about your shape, control underwear is a great solution.

You may think that layering is too young a look but actually it’s a great way to mix interesting textures and patterns, and combine colours in interesting ways.
Team similar colours together and layer in thin fabrics to avoid looking bulky.
Get this style right and it looks great – stick to tonal and textural layering and you won’t go far wrong.
Don’t go for items that chop your body in half, usually at the waist or hip. Opt for long, unbroken line and dress in monochrome or tonal combinations from head to foot, which is slimming, no matter what the colour.
