Shopping for the perfect summer wardrobe can be lots of fun. Summer clothes are almost always brighter, funkier and flirtier than their wintertime counterparts, helping to put you in the right frame of mind for the holiday season.

If you haven''t yet completed your summer wardrobe this year, here''s a look at a few particular items you might want to look out for on your next high street shop:

If bikinis aren''t really your style you might be pleased to find that there are a range of creative and stylish cut-out one-piece swimming costumes available in many summer collections this year. Try a range of shapes colours and sizes to see which works best with your figure and your colouring and you''ll be ready for the beach in no time at all.

As far as skirts are concerned, this year anything goes. Some stores are still stocked full of classic summer minis, while others have embraced the floral, floor-skimming boho look. A line, 1950s shaped styles are also out in force. Pick your favourite or go for one of each.

Summer shoes have truly taken a step up in 2010. The gladiator sandals of last year are now in burnished bronze and gold and often boast vertiginous heels. Tribal and animal prints are also big news in summer footwear this year, transforming the traditional ballerina flats and thong sandals into something altogether more exotic.

The maxi dress has taken on a whole new look this season. No longer is it only for those who like to embrace the perennial hippie chic trend, there are now many sophisticated monochrome styles to suit any number of summertime occasions.

Last year, it seemed that every pair of shorts available on the high street stopped just below your bottom and covered just about no leg whatsoever. Thank goodness this year the trend has turned around. Now we have a variety of more elegant knee length styles to choose from, making shorts more comfortable and more accessible to everyone, no matter what their shape or size.

For a huge selection of fabulous summer wear, you need look no further than the high street. The catwalks formed the inspiration behind many of this year''s best high street collections bringing the best of them to you in wearable styles at affordable prices.
