This season tees, tanks, camis and vests have restyled themselves and are the epitome of comfort and chic. You can dress them up or down, depending on the weather and occassion.

And who says your tanks and camisoles are only meant for the the beach or running errands for the day? They have taken a whole new dimension. You can wear it to the office, for a evening party or to a girls lunch-out.

I know, for most of us, anything other than denims to team with your tank or tee sounds doubtful. But give it a shot.

A formal jacket with slim pants and a colourful cami or V-neck T and smart shoes can be worn at the office, and would definitely break the everyday monotonous office look. For a night-out or a party, throw in come sexy strappy heels and metallic clutch, with smart black demins and a hot pink cami, and you will totally look chic.

Pair a light, ruffled or lacy cami-top with a tiered skirt or this season's hottest mini-tulip skirt (ones which is softly gathered at the waistband, with gentle folds and pleats that create the illusion of a slimmer waist), to look like a million bucks. Want to wear it differently? Feminine, scalloped-lace-trimmed cami with V-neckline is perfect peeking out beneath a sweater or jacket.

For a more sophisticated look, team a ruffle cami with smart cotton shorts or cropped pants. You can dress it up with a cardi and accessorise it well. This cami-look can be easily worn for a lunch or dinner date, just a simple get together, for shopping or travelling.

Summer Must Haves

Summer 2009 is colourful - move away from the Autumn's purples and blacks and add bright blocks of juicy citrus colour. Its time for you to transform your dull winter wardrobe into a vibrant, fresh season of colourful brights with these must have items.

What's out - What's in: Out goes heavy lace and in comes floaty sheer fabrics in romantic nudes, shimmering draping

No Summer wardrobe is complete without a pair of gladiator shoes whether the practical flats for the day or the supremely high heels for night. For your ultimate guide to the hottest trends this season read on.

1. Block Colours - Eye-popping block colour is one of the main trends this season. A flash of bright colour in bold combinations, brilliant versions of yellows, oranges, greens, blues and pinks will send your wardrobe into a spin, with true style stars sporting clashing blocks of orange, cerise and yellow. I know this is not the first time I am saying this. Can't help, its a rage this season and it sure deserves too. Colour block shoes and dresses are popular picks.

3. Romantic Nudes - For those of us seeking an alternative to bright colours or a black and white ensemble, you sure have a pretty choice to make -nudes and neutrals. Clothes in flesh and beige tones with matching accessories were a rage on the runway from Lanvin to Christian Dior to Stella McCartney everyone had their shade of nude on display. Tip? Don't think nude will wash offyour colour, the key is to find the perfect hue in nude that suits your skin - it might be a bit more pinkish or grayish; you just have to keep looking.

4. Colourful Ts, Tanks, Camis and Vests - Ts, tanks, camis and vests are without a doubt staple items of every woman's wardrobe. But this summer's vests, tees and camis are colourful and fun. You can play with ruffles, lace, colours, prints and sheer, or keep them to the basic whites or blacks. But there surely is more drama to them than your regular vests,or may I say you can add drama to them by accesorising and pairing them with season's key items? Neon pink, bright yellow, burnt or bright orange, electric blue, bright green are the favourite colours of the season. Pick your favoruite colour and style, to make a style statement this summer.

.

5. Gladiator Shoes - Like last seson, Gladiator shoes have become a rage. Every sixth girl in ten is wearing gladiator shoes on the streets of London (or may I say everywhere?). You can't just do without them this summer. Its an absolute must buy. And this time its not just in simple tan or black, but there are gladiator shoes in bright colours like pink, lime, purple, in beads and bejweled. Wear them and show off your well-pedicured colourful nails in neons, reds and pinks.
