I need a new summer wardrobe - any ideas based on this?

-I'm 25

- I like to be comfortable as well as look good.

- I'm tall (5ft 8)

- I have a slight pear shape. Even though my hips don't look that big when I'm naked, the minute I put on tight trousers or tight skirt they look huge!

- not much cleavage (B cup)

- I have really long skinny legs (so knee high boots are always baggy on me!)

- have quite a flat stomach

-huge feet (!)

- very pale skin and quite dark hair with grey eyes. I also have a really small face and really big hair!

- Would prefer things that will last a few years rather than really trendy stuff.

So any ideas about colours, shapes, styles etc to go for? Any recommended shops? Any tip offs at all would be really good as I just don't know where to start at the moment!

If you're pear shape you might like to try on some aline shape skirts as they'll skim over your hips - Monsoon have some lovely stuff in (take a look at their website). You are probably better off shopping in places like M%26amp;S, Monsson, Wallis rather than New Look, Primark etc as they will only have 'trendy' stuff. Buy classic items. If you find something you love, why not buy it in two or more colours? How about going into a large department store (Debenhams or House of Fraser perhaps that sell lots of different branded items) and getting a personal shopper? Good luck and happy shopping - fake tan for the legs sounds a winner...

you definitely want to wear full skirts to camouflage your hips. Wear fitted tops to accentuate your flat stomache and balance the fullness of the skirt. My coloring is similar to yours, and I've been told I look my best in blue, purple, yellow and orange. I also like brown b/c it matches my hair.

Stay away from tunic tops that would flare out right a hip level, and trousers with patterns would also accentuate your hips. Go for solid-colored wide-leg trousers in a flowy material that make your leg look like a uniform shape from hip to ankle.

Boots are not for summer.

Try these websites. They're my faves. Even if you don't live in the US, they might give you some ideas.

As you're tall you would look great in short dresses worn over fitted boot cut trousers particularly white trousers (M%26amp;S have some really great ones). To accentuate your bust get dresses and tops with an empire line that gently flare out to skim over your hips (make sure they are longer length so they don't cut off at your widest point). As mentioned A line skirts also A line summer dresses. Again as you're tall if you wanted to make a statement you could wear the maxi dresses (although I don't know how long this trend will last, so you may want to give it a miss). Long tops also look good with longer shorts and cropped trousers. As you've got a flat stomach you could wear the longer length fitted vest tops to accentuate your stomach, but make sure the top is darker than your trousers to ensure your hips look slimmer.

hi there,

i REALLY reccommend an URBAN OUTFITTERS, simple, and classic items that can be worn year after year, they do have trendy items as well, so you have to pick out the pieces, i also say you should have a look around some designer sample sales, as they are cheaper and a brilliant aspect of designers is that they are usually peices that can be worn again and again. hope that helps.
