TEA DRESSES

The tea dress is a year-round favourite in 2010. Refreshingly romantic and easy to throw is a wardrobe staple for all girls. No girl should live without a tee dress which is guaranteed to make her look styilsh and pretty for all of summer’s parties and festivals. There’s a style for everyone– floaty and floral, long and short,–which takes your cue from the stars and simply style with a clutch or panama for the day, and a jacket and socks for a rockier twist for the evening.

WEDGE HEELS

This summer, Leg-lengthening wedges are the A-list’s footwear of choice and perfect for chic summer dressing. Wedge heels are comfortably cool and very versatile. Use them to add an understated feminine touch to off-duty denim – for inspiration. Or make like these stars and opt for tan, taupe and nude versions to add height to summer dresses and shorts. Tap into the utility trend with buckles like Cameron’s Chloe wedges, or opt for a retro cork pair like Michelle Williams’ Stella McCartney creations for an effortlessly cool twist. It is also a wardrobe staple for you. Your summer wardrobe just won’t be complete without this wedge.

SUMMER SHIRTS

From Glastonbury to Cannes, anywhere the sun has been shining, our favourite stars have been staying cool in the heat by sporting summer shirts. Their chiffon, silk and nude pieces make a stylish alternative to T-shirts and vests. They add a pretty edge to shorts and denim. What is the easiest way to style the lightweight shirt? Simply wear it loose with undone top buttons and rolled-up sleeves for a cool, just polished enough, off-duty look. You can look to Rosie and Helena’s style for the key to summer city dressing.

POINTED STILETTOS

Stella McCartney championed pointed-toe heels on the A/W 2010 catwalk. Recently, she and her best friends are making pointed-toe heels as their footwear of choice. Statement clogs and round-toed pumps have been ditched by the likes of Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson who are in favour of the classic sharp shape reinvented by Louis Vuitton (cue Natalia Vodianova). For inspiration, you can look to Kate Bosworth who teams her nude satin pair with denim and simple tailoring for a feminine, off-duty look. It is perfect for minimalist dresses and relaxed mannish tailoring and shorts, or for adding extra sexiness to skinny trousers and cocktail dresses. Pointed kitten heels and stilettos are the wardrobe staple for this autumn.
