Top styling tips
1. Head-to-toe black is for funerals. Don't be afraid of colour or patterns. It's spring!
2. Too much bling is not a good thing. Less can certainly be more.
3. A hat or fascinator is a must. Sculptural and vintage hats will be popular this season.
4. It's all about grooming and details, right down to your manicure and immaculate hair and make-up.
5. Accessories complete the look - your bag, gloves, shoes and jewellery all help catch the judge's eye.
6. Dare to be individual, but stick to styles that suit your body shape.
7. Wear in your new heels before the big day to avoid blisters and aching feet.
