Trend Forecasting: Spring & Summer 2012



This spring and summer you will find yourself wrapped in heavenly fabr
ics, adorned with fabulous vivid color, as well as soft neutrals, and pastels - most popular being soft mint green. Look again this spring to seeing lots of red, and tons of lace, not to mention flowing floral prints hanging on the racks...



As always...Black and white fashions defy time, and keep their well earned place as big colours for spring and summer of 2012.



Black and white fashions were big on the runways this season, most fashion designers showed black and white in some fashion or another . Let's face it - you can't go wrong with the traditional black and white outfit. The designers know this little fact, and continue to cash in on it.




This season dresses, and skirts will remain must haves... But this season fashion designers have also given us all kind of fun fashions. Fashions that will offer wonderful vivid prints, stripes, and geometric prints - not to mention some great new takes on animal prints... 

The main theme this spring is somewhat tailored, and classic, but with a touch of bold, and edgy.





My 8 best fashion tips for spring ...



Let's start out with what's up with fashion colour 
trends...





* The big colour trend for 2012 spring/summer is 

mint green... Yes you read right - 
mint green is the biggest color trend for the up comingseason. The racks will 
be full of fashions that all done up in a soft whimsical 
version of mint green.






* Another colour trend being you will see 

this spring, especially in handbags and shoes 
is neon's. Such as bright blues, yellows, greens, 
oranges, and hot pinks.






* Do you Crochet? Well it's back... Crochet vests are 

big this spring, maybe you can look to the back of 
your closet . maybe you might have a bit of a 
crochet number lurking.





* The colour that jumps out at the head of the 
line for this spring when it comes to neon shades, 
is orange! Less face it there is no other color 
that can make a loud fashion statement as 
bright orange. So need a new handbag or a 
great pair of shoes? Make it orange.









* Creamy neutrals, all done up to give you 

a very feminine look. Flowing pajama - 
styles, tunics. All meant to be classical, and again comfortable.







* Think whimsical patterns. From bird prints to deers
fruit, feathers, you name it, tops with whimsical 
prints are big. You will see everything from blouses 
to dresses all sporting Whimsical prints.






* Stripes - Stripes seem to hold a place in fashion 

year after year. You can't go wrong wearing 
stripes, from head to toe...





* High-Waisted flare pants are so big this spring... 
The pant that Katharine Hepburn made so popular, 
is back... I suggest you pair this style of pants with a great heel, just to give the old look a bit of flare. 

The new flare pant as a rule have loops for a 
skinny belt, so you can flash up the look with 
a flashy thin belt.

  1. I have a feeling that this years' fashion brings together some 60's colours, 40's over-toned fashion with a 70's flare. I like it!
