Summer Styling with Rose Horsfield from Pookie

Once again dresses dominate the look for summer 09. Here are some of the hottest styles to keep you looking cool throughout the summer.


The bodycon - eighties style figure hugging dress, is hot to trot, so breathe in!

Tip: platforms and high heels become more creative and distinctive, so go wild when it comes to evening foot wear.


Bandeau – this no straps, nipped in waist dress is so seductively feminine.

Tip: Nude tones and vibrant block colours rule. Or add a waist belt to give more waist shaping.


Asymmetric - one shoulder dresses are proving to be a winning alternative to the bandeau.

Tip: Coral and electric blues are the hottest shades


The Maxi – in romantic ditsy floral and out of Africa tribal prints. Long and free flowing, maxi’s suit many figure shapes.

Tip: Maxi’s look better with flats, so go for a pair of embellished flat sandals or gladiators.

The cocktail dress - 1920’s flapper style fringed dresses, adorned with feathers and ruffles.

Tip: Finish this look off with a pair of Mary Jane or brogue heels.
