From crop tops to colorblock handbags, we bring you the 'it' items of the moment.

Your summer stylings will be incomplete without the following items, all of which are making waves on runways and red carpets across the world this year -- so take our advice and make sure you stock up right!

Overalls and dungarees

Nope, you don't need to be working on a farm to be sporting a trendy set of overalls anymore. Just take your cue from British model Sophie Sumner, seen here posing in a cute denim pair.

Pencil skirts

High-waisted, midi, above-the-knee -- the pencil skirt has managed a comeback, so make like Deepika Padukone and flaunt your narrow waist and curvy hips in one.

We've been over this before -- the zigzag chevron print is big for 2013, particularly when it comes to beachwear. This hot two-piece from Beach Bunny is sizzling on Russian supermodel Irina Shayk.

She's stylist to the stars, so when Rachel Zoe decides to step out in flared denims, you can be sure they're on-trend! Other recent fans of this '70s cut include Victoria Beckham and Miranda Kerr -- are you next in line?

You can add a touch of bling to cool summer casuals with sequinned tanks and tees like Camila Alves McConaughey, who sets hers off with casual denims and a cardigan.

Oversized, attention-grabbing and eye-searing -- that's how they're wearing them this year! So spring for a heavyduty timepiece like British glamour model Alex Gerrard.

It can get too hot for jeans this season, so if you want to cover up your gams the next best option is to rock a pair of printed pants. Just make sure to choose a silhouette that suits you, like singer Shibani Dandekar.
