There are five key pieces you need to update your wardrobe this summer - according to personal stylist Annabel Hodin.

The first is the tunic dress (worn with flats or a platform heels). Made popular by Kate Middleton earlier this year, and part of the Kate Moss collection at Top Shop, it’s a summer must have.

Then comes the white and feminine sundress, to show off your summer glow.

This season’s blouse has full sleeves, either plain and flowing to reflect the shades of summer, or just downright Zandra Rhodes outrageous.

Raising the stakes, it’s the high waist - either trousers, shorts or skirt.  Finally, accentuate your look with a belt (wide or skinny). If it’s new jeans time, all shapes and sizes
look good in Tummy Tuck jeans - an almost magical mixture of stretch and stitching to hug you in.

To update last year’s summer clothes takes a bit of imagination. If you already own the perfect pair of trousers, you don’t have to buy a new pair of high-waisters. Just wear your belt high this summer, then add a dash of jewel bright colour to an existing outfit, or try a flash of mega-metallic.
