For those of us that lived through the ‘80s, it was one of those trends we were glad to see the back off. After all, unless you had a toned stomach, they really weren’t the easiest look to rock.

Imagine our ‘delight’ then when we clocked a plethora of cropped tops hitting the high street. From cropped logo T-shirts to glammed up lace versions, if you want to be top of the crops, there’s plenty to choose from.

This is one trend however that really should be left to the young – if you remember the craze from the first time around, you should probably leave it alone.

If you do want to persist with the trend, try a bit of double layering and wear your lace cropped top over a white body or, wear a cropped jumper over a long-line vest. There are also some more modestly cropped tops out there (like the floral number from Miss Selfridge, below), which will look great paired with a high waisted denim skirt.

Top to Bottom: Cropped jumper, £7, New Look; Soul Cal California Crop Tee, £14,99, Republic; Lace cropped top, £38, Topshop; Floral cropped top, £35, Miss Selfridge

So, what do you think of the cropped top trend? Is it wearable? And more importantly will you be flashing your abs this summer?

Having worn the original bodies however, I’m somewhat reluctant to tip my toe in that trend again. For one, they were really quite uncomfortable and then there was the somewhat un-lady like issue of going to the toilet!

However, the body seems to be back with a vengeance and looks like carrying onto be a big trend for Spring/Summer 2010, with the underwear as outerwear theme that was seen on many of the catwalk shows. The new style bodies do have some plus points – they make layered dressing very easy and

If you do think the body is hot, wear them with jeans, flirty skater skirts and harem pants. Do not, whatever you do, team them with jeggings or leggings – camel toe is not a good look!

A key trend for this season, the eighties dominated the catwalks with bold shoulders, neon brights, and flamboyant patterns.

It’s one trend that has filtered quickly down to the high street and now thanks to Elizabeth Arden, it’s reached our dressing tables as well.

Elizabeth Arden have taken their iconic 8 hour cream formula and produced a fabulous new retro-looking collection, which is just so right for now. The Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant and Eight Hour Lip Protectant Stick still contain those skin restorative abilities we’ve come to know and love, but now they’ve got a brand new season look!

Taking inspiration from the bright colours of the ‘80s, we love this fun packaging, which takes us back to the days when we’d jump around our bedrooms singing Madonna songs into our hairbrushes!

This cool range (priced at £17 each) is available nationwide from Boots and selected department stores from 16^th November.

Wikipedia says a snood is ‘to a tubular neck protector or warmer’ which in theory is fine, however, isn’t that the function a scarf has? It can obviously be used as a hood – snood is after all a mixture of the words scarf and snood – but it can look slightly odd. Nativity plays spring to mind for some reason!

Lots of shops are selling the new look snood, including Dorothy Perkins, which have come up with this vibrant pink version for £15. While it looks quite cute, it does look like a scarf, which begs the question, why don’t you just buy a scarf? However, the most disturbing new snood on the block has to be the men’s version! While wearing it as a scarf (as this New Look one is), it’s fine, but really will any man ever use the hood facility.

So is this another trend flash in the pan resigned to the bargain bin in three months or are snoods here to stay? We hope not – but what do you think? Post your comments below now!

Shoulders are the new errogenous zone in fashion this season. For those of us around in the ’80s, the thought of wearing shoulder pads can be quite horrifying, however, they can be really flattering for some body shapes.

If you’re pear shaped… Shoulder pads are your friend! They can even out your body, giving width to your top half.

Wear: This dress from Warehouse (£65). The sleeves will give you width where you need it, but the black is slimming to your bottom half.

If you have a boyish figure… You can get away with the more outrageous structured shoulders around!

Wear: This top from TopShop (£25). Its futuristic vent is more Balmain than Dynasty, which is the look you’re after this season. Being slim, means you can also get away with this fabulous nude colour.

If you have broad shoulders… Strong shoulders can be a difficult trend to wear. However, if you stay away from huge statement shoulders and keep the shape a bit looser, you’ll be ready to go.

Wear: This shrug from New Look (£18). The shoulders aren’t too extreme, plus the loose draping will create the illusion that your shoulders and hips are the same size.

If you’re curvy… Make sure you keep your shoulders subtle. Too extreme and they’ll be competing with your bust for attention and will make you look very top heavy.

Wear: This scoop necked dress from Oasis (£60). The shoulders are slightly accentuated, however, the scoop neck will draw attention back to your bust and stop you from looking too top heavy.

So now you know how to wear it, go out and start shopping for those structured shoulders now!

It’s the only book you’ll need to ensure your wardrobe is up-to-date, featuring all the big new season trends, plus Will’s favourite must-have items – all of which are available to buy at Westfield London.

Will chose this fabulous hooded body from River Island (£24.99) for the ‘80s trend that is big this season:

‘This is very me. It’s very Grace Jones, very Alaia. There’s a lot of 80’s inspired looks around but in a really modern way, look out for the new shoulder pad shape and this rich purple is a key colour for the winter.’

 Make sure you don’t take this trend too literally – you don’t want to look like you’re in fancy dress! Take accents of the trend, such as structured shoulders, and mix them in with your normal wardrobe. Aside from River Island, New Look, TopShop, and Zara are all great places to shop this trend.
