If you''re looking forward to the summer, you are probably thinking about your summer wardrobe. It might be time to add a few new items, or at least pick a few accessories that will vary things up, and allow you to stay in step with current trends.

Starting with dresses, bohemian chic is still in, and it''s easy to pull off. If you like this look, you can have a lot of fun mixing and matching decorative and exotic items. Go for long floaty skirts, muted colours and fine light-wear material in mixed and unmatched patterns.

The boho look is also great if you''re trying to spend on a budget. The best places to go for long skirts vintage tunics and floral tops, are thrift stores and consignment shops. You can look for where to shop by putting in key words into Google.

As for tops, laced and camisole numbers, that show some skin but not too much, are in-style this Spring and Summer. These tops promise a hugely elegant look, and again. They''re easily mixed and matched with items you already have.

Do be aware of how sexy the camisole can look, so choose your items depending on whether you want to wear them ...
... during the day or at night. You don''t want to choose something very soft and showy, for example, if you''re wearing it to work or even to a daytime party.

Sheer tops are also popular this season, a favourite on the New York catwalks during fashion week. Style a dark coloured, sheer top with a bright coloured bra for a super sexy night time look. Wear it with a skirt that''s not too short?otherwise you might end up looking cheap not chic.

If you like to stay in trousers even during the hotter months, why not try some ripped denim? Ripped denim is back in style, even though we might once have thought it dated. Ripped denim provides a laid-back, trendy and more summery look. Find a pair of ribbed jeans of denim hot-pants for a tough but feminine look.
