Even if we do not want to admit it we are, as fashion consumers, influenced by the catwalk. It shapes our style, and in turn, how we buy. We see the likes of Jordan Dunn or Karly Kloss strut down the catwalk in something jaw dropping and we sit in hope that our favourite high street retailers will interpret this trend in an affordable way. At every fashion week, I watch intently so I can develop my personal trend preferences. Some jump at you, others take time to be realised. But this season is like a trends festival. As the summer is fast approaching and we plan our getaways to places that actually get some sun, I thought it appropriate to do a little refresher on some of the most popular looks.

Standún’s ladies’ department encompasses labels from dressy to casual for all ages.

Of all the catwalk trends, celebrity influences and High Street offerings, if I was to pick my favourite item of all time, it would be a t-shirt. Plain and simple. It’s a core item that no wardrobe should be without. You may think that there are plenty of items that should form part of your capsule closet but think of it like this. Blazer and jeans, leggings and sneakers, summer skirt and sandals, no matter what the outfit, the basis of all of the aforementioned, is a t-shirt. Now I’m not talking about a top emblazoned with your favourite 1980s rock band (although I have a brilliant one with Debbie Harry on it) my advice is to keep it plain this summer and stick to styles such as a fitted cotton “v” or round neck, sleeveless or cap sleeved, waist or hip length. The simplicity of the T is what makes it genius. To get you summer ready, there are lot’s of ways to style up the minimalist, most unadorned of all fashion staples.

You may think that looking ahead to Spring is a little premature considering we are amidst a cold winter, but the fashion industry always works one season in advance. I am a regular London Fashion Week attendee and back in September I found it hard to decipher Spring/Summer 2012 trends, when we hadn’t even hit Winter. But that’s the way the industry works and the challenge for a journalist is to predict what’s coming. Christmas may be in the air, however, the fashion media start to preview upcoming collections as early as October. And so over the last week, I have had Spring in my step!

The very first thing you need to do when hunting for the perfect denim is to be clear about your body shape. You have to buy denims first for what you are, and only second what you want to achieve. Jeans are one item you cannot buy successfully on the recommendation of a friend. Unless you are identical twins, it is highly unlikely that what is perfect for one girl will be work at all for another. Whether you are long and leggy or small and petite, the perfect pair is waiting at the denim bar in Brown Thomas.

Will had never been happy with his weight. As a child he was always the chubby one and the last one to be picked for the team. Into his adulthood, he still carried more weight than he should and was gradually getting bigger. With a 38 inch waist, Will was sick of asking for the XL shirts and the larger size trousers and by the time he was 30, he realised he needed to tackle his weight.
