The Best Styles of Summer Dresses

There's nothing more exciting than wearing your best summer dresses when the sun is out. Summer dresses are the perfect item of clothing for your holiday abroad, summer barbecues or chilling out in beer gardens with your friends. No matter what you'll find a summer dress which will make you feel stylish and cool on those hot summer days.

A summer dress will take you right through summer in style. You can dress down with a pair of sandals or flip-flops or you can easily glam them up with a pair of high-heels and some flashy jewellery.

If you have a summer dress you love but unsure about whether you can wear it when the weather changes, then you can combine it with a pair of leggings or tights and layer it up with a cardigan so you can keep extra warm in the winter.

There are so many different styles of summer dresses that you'll always be able to find one that suits your body shape and your style which will make you look fabulous in the sun. These 3 different styles of summer dresses are my top choices and are definitely in my wardrobe for the summer.

Strappy Dresses

Most summer dresses have narrow/thin straps and finish on or above the knee. These types of dresses often have an a-line shape, which is feminine and flatters most body shapes. They come in a huge range of styles and patterns so be sure to pick one that best suits you.

Maxi Dresses

This year maxi dresses are a must have for summer. The key thing with a maxi dress is to make sure that the length on them finishes right at your ankle.  A maxi dress is great for wearing day into night, simply switch your footwear from sandals to heels, add some sparkles and you're good to go party.

Strapless Dresses

The strapless dresses are cute and feminine so they're a great choice for summer if you want to show of your shoulders. By choosing a strapless dress it means you won't get the dreaded strap mark tan lines if you're wearing it out in the sun. If you do plan on wearing this style of dress then make sure you buy a good strapless bra. If you don't feel comfortable showing off your arms then throw on a light cardigan for that extra bit of cover up.

Top Ten Things We Love About Cheap Women’s Clothes

Over the years the word cheap has developed too many negative connotations and is used in too many different contexts to really be a solid definition of anything. Cheap women’s clothes for example are perceived as being made from low quality materials in unflattering shapes and poor fits. As all of us who shop at Everything5Pounds know though, this couldn't be further from the truth.

When it comes to ‘cheap’, they mean low cost. They put it in their name after all. In celebration of cheap women’s clothes, we’re going to take a quick look at the top ten reasons why we love them.

1# They are low cost, meaning we can buy more.

2# Fashion is becoming more and more disposable and trends change so fast it is tough to keep up. Thanks to the availability of cheap clothing we can always be on trend but not out of pocket.

3# It doesn't matter if we only wear something once.

4# You can mix and match cheap pieces with more expensive ones. No one will be able to tell.

5# We can indulge our love of shoes. A pair for every occasion? At £5 a pair you can.

6# You can create a whole outfit for £20.

7# There is no excuse not to look good. Cheap in price, high in quality means more clothes and more choice.

8# We can pick ourselves up when we are feeling blue without breaking the bank.

9# We can be adventurous.  Seen a style but not sure it’ll suit you, at £5 per item you can try it out. Be experimental.

10# They allow us to have the ability to express ourselves and have fun with fashion.

The list goes on and on but if you weren't a convert before I'm pretty sure this left will have left you reaching for your mouse.

Remember cheap doesn't always mean bad, think cheap is good for my wallet and my wardrobe.

Happy Shopping Ladies!

Big Summer Styles! The Return of the Crop Top

This season you might have noticed that the crop top is making a massive mark in the fashion industry, so we’re asking what do you think about it?

We’ll if you’re anything like us then you’ll probably have some queries about it. Why is something that dominated the 1990s now big on the fashion agenda? Before you go into panic mode over showing a bit of belly, you’ll see that when this new look is worn correctly the majority of us will definitely be able to pull it off.

The trick when wearing a crop top is to match it up to a classic high-waisted skirt or a pair of high-waisted trousers. When a crop top is worn correctly it can be sexy and quite flattering. I've seen many girls wearing a crop top with midi length high-waisted skirts, which are perfect for a night out.

Pulling off a new trend will always wear better on you when you wear it with confidence, so before buying yourself a crop top just try it on with skirts, shorts and trousers to see what you feel most comfortable in. If you find yourself asking if it’s appropriate for your age or if you’re not sure it’s flattering for your figure then it’s probably best you leave it as you don’t want to be unsure and feel uncomfortable when you come to wear it out.

Revealing skin can look sexy but you must always remember this very important fashion rule: Less is more! You need to keep your cleavage display to a minimum and only expose a small strip of your stomach, if you show too much then it might draw unwanted attention to you.

If you’re happy enough to go out rocking the crop top then make sure you’re covering up the rest of you. Avoid miniskirts and hipster shorts/trousers to maintain a tasteful style. Maxi skirts are great additions to crop tops because they help to balance out your look.

Even if you’re still unsure about trying out this new style it’s important to remember that the trend has come a long way from its late 1990s Spice Girls days! The Summer 2014 crop top style doesn't expose your whole stomach as it’s a much more mature and comfortable style.

If you’re after a bit of a retail fix then check out the complete range of cheap tops on the E5P website! We’re currently stocking the crop top so you can experiment with this new style for a small price!

Tips for Choosing the Right Skirt

Women’s skirts come in all sorts of shapes, styles and sizes so choosing the right one can be difficult! What with the fashion industry becoming much more diverse you’ll find that skirts that range from petite to plus size.

Whether you’re going to work or just meeting some friends for lunch, you can’t go wrong by wearing a skirt. Where skirts come in all sorts of styles you will always be able to find a skirt to match the occasion. If you need to find the right skirt for a specific occasion but not sure which style you need then here are a few of my recommendations.

 

The Office Look

If you need to dress to impress and look smart when at work then I would definitely recommend a pencil skirt. This style of skirt should be matched up with a smart shirt and accessorised with a smart handbag and a smart jacket such as a blazer. Most professional women would say that a pencil skirt is an essential part of their work wear wardrobe.

Sexy, Fun and Flirty

If you’re going out for the evening and want to get noticed then I would recommend high waisted short skirts. They come in many different styles and patterns and are definitely a top trend for this year. The best way to wear this specific style of skirt is if you match it up with a crop top or a long shirt that’s tucked in. Match it up with accessories and a clutch bag and you’ll be ready to party in no time.

The Sweet Casual Look

This year you should invest some money into buying a maxi skirt. They come in a huge array of colours and can be worn anywhere. You can dress them down with a pair of flip-flops, a big hat and big sunglasses for when you’re going down the beach or grabbing some lunch with friends in the sun. You can also dress them up by wearing them with a pretty top and a pair of heels for that more sophisticated look. If you buy just a plain black maxi skirt you’ll find you can wear it with pretty much anything.

Sexy and Classy

Another style of skirt that’s very popular amongst women is the long maxi skirt with a slit down the leg. These skirts are sexy and stylish and are a great way to show of your legs. This particular style of women’s skirt works best with a pair of heels and a clutch bag.

Maxi Dress

Spring is just around the corner and a maxi dress should definitely be at the top of everyone’s must have list. Maxi dresses are flattering, light and are very comfortable.
