No doubt by now you will have read several hundred posts on this very topic – every blogger worth their salt out there is trying to point you in the right direction of what to wear this summer. Never been shy of jumping on a bandwagon when it comes rolling past, we thought that we would chip in with what we feel are the clothes to wear this summer.
So, without any further ado, here are our top five fashions of the summer 2009………….men, we’ll do you next!
1 – Printed Leggings – these have been a divisive fashion item for a number of years, but since M.I.A started producing them for her own clothing line, they have suddenly became very cool again. Mix and match with care however.
Aztec Leggings - £10 from Peacocks
2 – One-shouldered rules! – Very sexy look if done right, Tops and Dresses with one shoulder are really beginning to come into their own on the high street. Great for summer as they can be used in a variety of scenarios that may arise. Think simple and elegant and you can’t go far wrong, like this from Oasis……
Oasis one shoulder - £35
3 – Transparent Layers – Think of Chiffon and you may have flashbacks of old pictures of your mum in the 1970s – however, this is the 21st century and things have moved on (a bit). Transparent layers are a great, subtle way of enhancing your look.
Aim for this with Chiffon
4 – Denim Skirts – This has been a controversial choice here at WCTW – but the majority prevailed and the denim skirt makes it in the list. Choose with care however.
Denim Skirts are in - we said so
5 – Short Leather Jackets - a great compliment to any look. We like this from Promod, think Uma in Kill Bill Volume 2 and you’re on the right lines.
Promod short leather jacket - £99
Thats our five fashion essentials of summer 2009 - whats great about these choices is that you can make an outfit by combining each element.
If there are any other essential items that you feel should be included then please let us know – all comments are welcome!

Everywhere I go the high street is laden with shops with a ’sale’ on. However most of the clothes that are at the special knock down prices are not this seasons clothes they may even be last years clothes. And the big ‘50% Off’ discount poster in lurid pink and black is just designed to get you in the door and look at everything else. I wish there was some honesty about this whole thing.
Times are tough for lots of people: money is tight, unemployment’s rising, the Labour party are spending our money on god knows what today, the Tories are too busy trying to score points, companies are going down the pan and along the high street companies are doing their best to get us through the doors. but most of the time its crap that’s discounted. Give me value, give me quality and give me honesty and you’ve got a loyal returning customer and an advocate of your brand. Give me crap customer service, misleading offers (legally they’re not misleading but personally they often feel that way), last seasons cast offs which no one wanted then let alone now and you’ve got an enemy who’ll spend their money elsewhere.
Here are some deals for you can use to try and beat the credit crunch.

Sorry for the bad spelling in the title of this post – but its purposeful to highlight the issue I want to raise. I hate being treated like an idiot and I feel thats what River Island are doing. Treating me like an idiot – I know its great to be ‘down with the kids’ but get a grip folks. Kids text message each other woo hoo – but I expect a store to communicate with me like an adult.

After the dampest August I can remember it’s now freezing. Absolutely Baltic in temperature – OK I exaggerate its about 13°C but it’s still too damn cold to wear a nice dress. I don’t mean a nice airy summery frock that catches the breeze just any kind of dress that doesn’t look dull or boring. I’m sure its not just my wardrobe where Spring/Summer = Dresses and Colours : Autumn/Winter = Grey Lifeless Shapeless Sacks. So in an effort to try and get this month started on a better note I’ve had a look with the help of my friends: Mrs Google and Mrs Yahoo!, to find some nice dresses for Autumn/Winter 2008.
What Styles are in this Autumn/Winter?
I keep hearing that the ‘Goth‘ look is in. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh – I’ll look an older version of my niece (and you’ll never see me in a ‘my chemical romance‘ t-shirt). Inspite of this trend for drab grey/black clothing the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair have came to my rescue with their style guide. Lovely oranges and some nice purples look like they could be the way to go.

Winter Cardigans in 2008
With so many high street shops releasing their Autumn/Winter ranges in the last couple of weeks it seems like the appropriate time to see where they’ve been getting their inspiration from. Every Winter the thing I want most is a new jumper or cardigan. That one piece of clothing which is going to keep me warm – without looking like I’m wearing a sack that used to contain potatos. Here are some of the ones I’ve found that are will be in my mind when I go shopping this weekend (it’s pay day on Friday afterall)

Free Delivery on all Clothes
Cheers to the Guys @ cheap clothes rule for letting me know that Peacocks Clothes are doing free delivery for a limited time – I wish it was for longer but the free delivery is only available until the 28th of August 2008. If you spend £40 you get free delivery (delivery normally costs £3.95).
Top Shop Delivery Costs
Over at TopShop you don’t get free delivery until you’ve spent £100. I double checked this figure as I thought I’d made a mistake but nope.
Miss Selfridge Delivery Costs
At Miss Selfridge you don’t get any free delivery at all! You need to give them £4 for all orders. Come on Miss Selfridge you can do better than this!
Campaign For Free Delivery on Women’s Clothes
Having found all these prices out – and being surprised I think it’s about time we all campaign for these large online stores to give us free delivery. I understand that free delivery can’t be available on all clothes – as they need to make a profit. But at about thirty pounds or so I’d be happy to spend a little bit more and get free delivery. I know when I shop at Amazon I’m always buying extra books just to get the free delivery.
Join our campaign for better free delivery terms @ http://www.petitiononline.com/3deliver/petition.html

Stylish Maternity Clothing
Do stylish maternity clothes really exist?
I decided, on the back of Clair getting pregnant, that I’d do a post on maternity clothing and see if there is such a thing as stylish maternity clothes. I’m convinced they must as the world is full of yummy mummys wearing very nice clothes during pregnancy but if you can get them online may be another thing.
