There's something about a light tan that makes us look healthier and more alive after months of wintry grey weather and pale skin.
Pick a colour that flatters your hair and skin tone. Pinks, reds and oranges are great for black and olive skin while blues, burgundy and greens look great on paler skin.
To look your best in your new lingerie it's worth getting yourself professionally fitted when choosing a bra and most good department stores should offer this service.Once you know your correct size log on to Figleaves.com for their fabulous selection of lingerie including Simone Perele, Elle Macpherson, right, Dolce & Gabbana and Charnos.
Beau Bras is a beautiful range of lingerie with ribbon fastenings and pretty embroidery. Their website (beaubra.com) allows you to order the lingerie you like and get a sneak peak at what's coming up for the next season.
Splendour.com is another useful lingerie site which carries quality lines such as Rigby & Peller and Chantelle alongside their own range of underwear including 'Volupte' for larger sizes (up to cup size F) and push-up bras.
The Bravissimo catalogue caters for the larger bust but that doesn't mean cantilever bras. Their lovely lace bras and bodies give proper support while remaining feminine and desirable. Check them out at bravissimo.com.
Our own shopping mall (click on the link in the blue box above to take you straight there) has some fantastic lingerie too at very reasonable prices - everything from Ultrabra and Berlei to Sloggi and Charnos.
The high street is a reliable resource for inexpensive bra and knickers sets at affordable prices - try Next, Tesco, George at Asda and Gap for pretty underwear that's perfect for summer days and nights.
Marks & Spencer have teamed up with Australian designer Colette Dinnigan to create their new Wild Hearts lingerie range, while continuing with their long-term collaboration with Agent Provocateur designers Serena Rees and Joe Corre. Look out for lavish embroidery and delicious tulle fabrics.
But remember, no matter what you spend on it, keep your lingerie looking its best by hand washing in a mild detergent and letting items dry naturally - your satins, silks and lace will appreciate the gentle touch.
