10 WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR LOOK

Go global

Good news in these cash-strapped times - now you can take a round-the-world tour without leaving the bedroom! Simply layer up clashing colours, pile on chunky necklaces, add a fringed scarf (or turban, if you're feeling brave!) and say hello to tribal chic.

The boyfriend blazer

Every now and then a trend comes a long that is so overwhelmingly brilliant, it makes us wonder how we lived without it. The multi-tasking blazer looks cute thrown over a floral dress, smartens up any pair of trousers and looks fabulous with faded jeans and platforms. Go for the slightly over-sized, I-just-stole-this-from-my-boyfriend's-closet approach, and you've nailed the look.

The new trouser shape

There are some things that just shouldn't work, but somehow do. We give you the low slung, dropped crotch harem pant. So wrong it's right! Opt for the ever-so-flattering black option in slinky jersey - then team with heels and a slim-fitting top for a fresh new look. And did you notice, we haven't even mentioned MC Hammer!

The all-in-one

Congratulations to all those fashion-forward young ladies who bought into this trend last year - and bonus points if you splurged on slouchy jersey - because the fabulous all-in-one is here to stay. So dig out the old jumpsuit, roll up the legs, cinch in the waist and party like it's 1984.
