10 fashion trends for summer

What to wear, what to wear. With summer only days away, Kate Newton picks her top 10 fashion must haves for the sunny season.  
1. 7/8th pants
For showing off shapely ankles and turning your back on ubiquitous summer dresses.

Dose up on the light denim stuff. Look for baggy denim pants, pinafores and overnight bags.

Bright and bold and ready to be shaken on the dancefloor
4. High-waisted bikini
Go vintage with a cute two-piece in this classic and flattering style

6. Short shorts
