But needless to say being on the inside all day still does not let a mini trend slip pass my critical eyes!

This week it seems the vogue for printed t.shirts has reached a new chicer level with natty Parisian inspired messages emblazoned across stripy tops worn with simple slim leg jeans and neat blazer.

Far more appropriate than the usual tacky ‘Magaluf – esque slogans we are so used to seeing splayed across women’s breasts!

For real casual elegance, this is my favourite by French Connection priced at a mere  £27 , it is just what the Style Doctor ordered!     http://bit.ly/eRV5aK

If like me, you suffer from fat calf syndrome, boot shopping can be (quite literally) a painful experience! The whole jeans tucked into boots cool look quite frankly rubs salt in to the wound for those of us unable to pull it off.  Like wise those that are lucky enough to have been blessed with slim pins, often find that the problem scale is tipped the other way with boots that look like wellies around the knees!

So what is the solution to this problem, besides finding a shop that makes boots in different calf widths which are usually anything but fashionable? The answer is simple, for once the shops have finally woken up and realised that not every one can carry off a knee high boot (don’t get me started on the thigh high boot) and have at long last produced a diverse range of styles to suit all lengths and widths of leg.

Shoe boots maybe a little passe nowadays, but the return of the slightly loose pull- on ankle boot and now the appearance of the ankle length lace up boot are a saving grace for many British legs. Long and lean or short and stumpy, both style of boots fit and  work whether wearing a skirt, dress, jeans or trousers. Stick with black so that they can be teamed with black opaque tights to really help elongate and either create or enhance slimness.  Opt for a block heel and either an ‘almond’ or round toe shape for ultimate comfort that won’t run the risk of ruining the line of the leg and keep detailing to a minimum. Plus if like me, you would love to be able to pull off the jeans-tucked-into-boots, it is possible to achieve. Secure jeans in place with socks and then pull boots on – I promise it looks very stylish in a slightly 80′s way.  Just make sure socks are not visible!
