IT may not be warm enough to start sampling swimwear, buying bikinis, or trying on t-shirts, but it IS warm enough to start thinking about your summer wardrobe.

The shops are already filling up with pretty florals, bold geometrics, bright citrus colours and cool, sophisticated white.

So in the immortal words of Shania Twain...let's go, girls!

Debenhams has long been a stalwart of the modern woman's basic wardrobe.

Alongside designers such as Jasper Conran, Edina Ronay and John Rocha, are Debenham's own brands Hyphen, Anne Brooks Petite, Casual Club, Debut, J Taylor, Red Herring, Trader and Maine.

Comprising formal and casual wear, key colours for this season include turquoise, candy pink, purple and classic black, camel and white. Flashes of sherbet yellow and orange highlight the collections.

Fabrics range from sumptuous leather and suede through to functional denim and jersey.

J Taylor features a beautiful suede trouser suit in pink and camel while Trader offers denim jackets and trousers in a variety of washes.

Print is key this season with all departments using it to great effect.

Hyphen's blue mineral print dress is perfect for summer. Alternatively, choose the lurex striped tank top in camel and blue to team with a pair of skinny camel trousers.

Red Herring's lilac chiffon asymmetric striped v-neck top sits well with a pair of cropped purple denim jeans.

Flowers are big this spring, appearing everywhere as a print or individual decoration. Debenhams-own blurred floral-print skirt is available in pink or blue and teamed with a sleeveless polo neck in a contrasting colour is sure to be a hot favourite this season.

Choose a pansy-print dress in lilac or red on a black background or team a Hyphen embroidered corsage twin-set in pink or black with a pair of black trousers.

Glamour and glitz has moved from night to day this spring. Add a bit of style to any outfit with glittery lurex or gold foil prints. Choose a Hyphen blue lurex sleeveless roll neck with denim or add a J Taylor gold flecked sleeveless cowl neck under a serious suit.

Marks & Spencer also has some stunning new clothes to tempt you, embracing all of this season's key catwalk trends.

Women's wear sheds its heavy winter skins for fluid, lightweight fabrics that enhance femininity. Sharp and sexy silhouettes remain key for tailoring.

Strong-shouldered and clean-fitting jackets, twinned with wide-leg palazzo pants, create a timeless look, which echoes the vibrancy and energy of the 1980s. The classic suit is modernised when teamed with an acid bright or floral print shirt.

New chic and retro prints encapsulate the romantic spirit of spring. Choose from bold stripes and summer swirls in shades of lilac and pink on chiffon georgette or ultra feminine florals in effervescent shades of chartreuse and rose pink. The look is feminine, floaty and all-woman.

Straight off the catwalk for women's wear this season is the "preppy" look. Taking the fundamental elements, Marks & Spencer has created a beautifully simple collection la 1950s prom queen.

Periwinkle blues in crisp sailcloth cottons and compact jerseys, combined with meltingly soft leathers, bring a soft and sexy charm to casual wear. Team a crisp white cotton shirt with a chino skirt or trousers for the ultimate in "preppy" chic.

The people at Next are saying that the fashion trends set by the catwalks are taking a huge stride into the High Street and this season we should "get into shapes".

Bold, bright prints in dazzling colours catch the eye, so go for a geometric look in feminine fluid fabrics, complimenting the female silhouette.

Pep up this season's wardrobe, cast aside the faded fabrics of winter and focus on fluorescence it's the quickest way to get noticed!

Whether it's dots and spots, or swirls and stripes, patterns are designed to make a big impact.

The tailored suit is climbing to the top of the must-have ladder for office-wear this season and just because the suit is classic, it doesn't mean you have to be. Choose bright, bold and brilliant shirts or printed tops to add a funky twist.

Opt for a fitted pinstripe single breasted jacket and boot cut trousers in a special wool and Lycra blend and feel as comfortable as you look.

And, of course, not forgetting the trend of the moment banner t-shirts. Madonna and Britney Spears started the trend and now they are everywhere. Next has simplified the hot catwalk trend with their classic shell tops, in black (of course) and oh-so-glamorous metallic "rock chic" lettering.

Tesco, meanwhile, has introduced a range of semi-formal" clothes in response to customer demand.

This has resulted in the development of the Florence & Fred collection for women and men, which is being billed as a range of smart-wear clothing, for work or social occasions, designed for real people.

The Florence & Fred collection for women embraces a modern silhouette while still retaining the classic elements we all desire.

A Harrington style jacket, based on the classic style, is teamed with a fresh Argyle check skirt.

Great shapes in great colours are key and include a carnation short sleeve sweetheart neck jumper with a bias-cut, herringbone-weave buttermilk skirt or a Wedgewood blue sleeveless polo neck knit worn with Herringbone weave buttermilk trousers. Selected trouser options offer two lengths 29in and 31in.

Prints and patterns are brought to life in a contemporary and flattering way and geometrics, florals and stripes are woven into a classy formula on trousers, skirts and shirts.

With sizing extended to a 20 on selected designs, the Florence & Fred woman's wear collection offers fantastic designs at affordable prices.
