2012 Spring Fashion Trends

Spring is here! I know most people are all set for spring cleaning, but fashion aficionados are more excited to make a spring outfit statement. This is the time of the year when snow boots and heavy winter clothes are stashed away. I can't wait to wear light clothes and gear up for this transition period of weather.  As the clock sets an hour forward, the days will also be longer to enjoy the sun.

As Spring season starts to ring in, it screams out bold and bright colors, striking patterns and statement-making prints that make you pop! Here are some of the fashion trends this spring:

To brighten up your longer days, this spring’s pick would be Orange and tangerines. Strutting all over the runways with all sorts of orange shades, it’s definitely something that everybody can pull off. It is a vibrant color but with a little edge. Pinks and pastels were also expressed by the designers for a refreshing shade for clothes. Plus pastel colors are generally associated with Spring and with Easter. Color Blocking is still in, with bold and solid colored pieces makes simple outfit look more glamorous.

PRINTS. From daring, courageous, over-sized geometric shapes, flowers not to mention those animal prints and swirling patterns to futuristic techno print piece took over the spring runways. Style tip: Pair it over a simple plain top and bottoms. Something simple really never goes out of style.

For the past years, metallic and shiny bronze hues are something that I gleefully embraced because of how you glisten with style. For this season, a metallic basic stays and is still making a statement from skirts to slim trousers. I think it is very wearable and I’m glad my metallic/bronze gladiator sandals could still stay in fashion.
