Most women I know are thrilled when Summer arrives to shed their heavy layers and show more skin. To make sure you are doing it the right way, here are some great trend tips for Summer 2009:

1. One shoulder/asymetrical tops and dresses are hot and sexy. This trend also extends to bikinis. Summer 2009 has a much more modern approach than we have seen in previous seasons.
2. Tasteful see-through, sheer, and nude fabrics. Draping and layering will be utilized as to not expose women.
3. Backless will also be popular.
4. Grecian dresses, both maxi length and short, are in style. This is a perfect carry through to the one shoulder styles.
5. Jeweled clothing carries through with more vibrant and bold colors in a more sophisticated style. Encrusting rather than embellishing will take center stage.
6. Tribal and Ethnic inspired trends are slated for this Summer 2009, as well as Summer 2010. Items that will inspire a safari or travel to an exotic location will be all the rage.
7. Bold/Statement jewelry is also still in style. Think huge earrings, cocktail ring or large cuff. These are not to be worn all together though.
8. Gladiator style shoes, with and without a heel, are a must have. Strappy and sexy is the look. Some of the shapes will be very avant garde.
