Military is one of the key looks for Spring/Summer 2010, but many women feel this is a difficult look to pull off. A lot of the military items in the shops are full of detailing and pockets which all just add extra bulk, especially if you have a fuller figure. However this look can look fantastic on all sizes, with some clever styling. The simplest option is to add some key military style accessories, such as caps or studded belts. There are also some great heeled gladiator sandals around, which give the military feel and add sexiness and height. For those who really want to embrace the military trend and still look great there are some brilliant studded military jackets – look out for ones in dark colours, with low scooped v-shaped necklines and belted waists to make the most of curves.

Another key trend for SS2010 is maxi evening dresses with thigh high splits. This may initially seem a dangerous choice because it exposes a lot of leg, but there are ways to make this trend look great! The key factor is to find a split dress that looks great everywhere else, whether that’s skimming over the tummy area, or highlighting a great cleavage. There are lots of thigh-split dresses around, so there will be one to suit every woman! After that it’s all about making the best of the leg on show – a great pair of heels will add length to the legs, making them appear slimmer. Adding a little bit of fake tan will also give the appearance of slimmer, more streamlined legs. Alternatively, for women who don’t feel brave enough to go bear, they can experiment with some sexy stockings – the extra control they give will give the legs a better silhouette, whilst adding some additional interest!
