This summer’s fashion palette is bursting with pastel hues that could make you want to get lost in Candyland. Add one pastel piece to an otherwise simple outfit for a lip-smacking effect or go glam by pairing pastels with . . . more pastels.

Another big trend to try is wearing unusual colours together. Two-tone pieces come in combinations from black and brown to bright pink and orange. Clash wonderfully in this effortlessly sophisticated and glam ensemble.

One-suit WonderJumpsuits are back and they come in glamorously polished styles for every occasion. The ultrachic piece easily transitions from day to night with the simple switch of footwear or the added sparkle of a few jewels. Add some panache to a formal evening with darker colours and a femme fatale shade of lipstick. Keep accessories to a well chosen minimum; a statement shoe and necklace with chunky bracelets will do for this look.

PLEATS ME

From elegantly folded maxi-skirts and dresses to flirty rompers and minis in shapes that skim, flow or fall away from the body, pleated pieces evoke images of Grecian beauties. Accentuate curves with a belt worn high and pump up the swish and sweep factor with heels.

Get the best out of summer 2012 with Stylewise’s must-have guide.

Belts are an inexpensive way to add texture and style to your look. Choose one with “dressy” details like a bow closer or a patent finish for a sleek and simple look. Keep other accessories understated for a clean and polished appearance.

summermust-havesUnlike the last few years of thong-baring waistbands, shorts styles this season are more comfortable and ladylike. A pair of boyish long shorts (knee toppers), sexy short shorts and cutesy high-waists are all summer wardrobe musts.

Protect your skin while staying chic with a wide-brim sun hat.

You don’t need to know how to kickflip to be trendy this summer. Indeed, laidback, hipster fashion has gone from underground to mainstream. Home grown unisex tees stamp “Bajan” on this irie culture, to give anyone a unique voice as they get on board this summer, no skateboard necessary.
