The most fashionable style for the summer is the most difficult one to get right. Since all of the clothes are bohemian and gypsy in style, we don't all want to look messy. There's a lot of lovely elements to the look e.g. a lot of the clothes are very pretty because of the embroidery or beading work on them and the fact that it is acceptable to wear sequins and lots of sparkly things during the day.
Accessories...
Accessories is the best way to generally keep up with fashion and buying one or two fashionable pieces which will tie in with the rest of your clothes of course. This will help to keep your style and to give your own stamp on your look. Shoes, scarf or beads and one or two tops or skirts.
Skirts...
Skirts are very important this season. Be careful that you opt for a style that suits your shape. Skirts that flare out at the bottom suit a lady that is a little larger on the bottom half, there's a lot of these available in the shops. Don't choose a print unless you are small on the bottom half and bigger on the top so that the attention is drawn to the right area of the body.
Belts...
Belts are one of the most basic pieces. Slim women can wear every type and colour although natural tan colour is the most popular. It should be worn about 3 inches from the waist over a long top or dress. Putting a belt here will draw attention to this part of the body so wear a belt which is the same colour as your clothes with a nice looking buckle on it to slim the hips.
Dresses...
A lot of unstructured (limp in material) dresses are fashionable for the summer. Dresses that will suit your shape. Be careful if you need to hide any areas because they are not very forgiving. The dresses that hold their shape the best if you are a little larger, is the firmer material dresses which will hide any such areas. There are numerous styles available and something to suit everybody and a good choice of colours and patterns too.
Shoes...
Shoes are an essential part of any outfit. They can chance the look from being casual to smart. There will be a wide choice of sandals ranging from flat Indian ones to ones that have a high wedge heel. A wedge heel suits most women whatever age. Be sensible and choose a moderate heel and not a platform if you are older, leave the brightly coloured ones to the younger woman. A natural brown colour is best, they will go with lots of different colours. Lots of flat sandals with an Indian influence are also fashionable and pumps with lots of jewels on them.
