Gok Wan's Trade SecretsTop 5 tips

 

 

 

1.  Ruffles and frills are massive for 2008 - perfect for those who have good pins but best to avoid if you are more pear shaped. I love this dress from New Look - it looks great with a high waist belt, taking it in slightly to perfect a more tailored look. It can be worn on its own or with jeans

2.  High-waisted trousers are also going to be very big this season.  Add a funky belt and this look will give the illusion of long, luscious legs!

Trousers, £50 at Oasis

 

3.  Don't be afraid of florals, they can be cute and feminine.  Try adding a floral patterned top over a pair of jeans and some funky and fun accessories

4.  This spring/summer is all about bright colours - electric blue is going to be a 'must wear' colour, along with hot pink and vibrant yellow. Try these spanking pink skinnies from New Look, great with some flats or add some high-heels for a bit of spring glamour!

5.  A great look for curvy shapes is a full length floaty dress which is one of 2008's biggest trends - these body skimming dresses with lengthen your figure
