To wear or not to wear? Getting ready for my hot date at the club. Trend: Chunky belt from Rodeo Drive. - photos by Ian Allen/Staff Photographer

It's casual Friday and you have an important business meeting with advertising executives in the morning, a photo shoot for work on the road, a lunch date with the girls, all before hitting a club in the evening.

Obviously, you want to show off your wardrobe to maximum effect. So, you whip out your five favourite trends and showcase them all in one day. Let Flair show you how.

We know that it's all about the waist this season. From chunky belts, to high-waist skirts, it's time to show off your middle. High-waist garments are a welcome alternative to the hipster styles that have been plaguing our drawers for much too long. And it gets better! This trend is considered to be extremely flattering with an ability to lengthen the shortest of legs.

Belt trend

As for the belt trend, they clinch the waist of dresses, highlight the hips when worn low-slung and give the bust a boost when fastened empire-style. What more could you want?

Another key trend hot off London's catwalk is the tea dress. Ultra feminine, easy to wear and versatile, do not be afraid to team these light and airy frocks with a fabulous wide belt.

Top-wise, it's time to get out your Victorian style puff sleeves. Adding a subtle hint of femininity and edge, it's no wonder this trend has been so popular and looks fantastic when worn with a high-waist skirt or pants.

What about the feet? Well, ladies, the wedge is back. Cute, sassy and oh so summery, this is the only style to be seen in. Sporting a whole range of different styles, from espadrille to patent leather, you can find a pair that will suit the trickiest of outfits and will be sure to make an individual style statement.
