Main trends of Spring/Summer 2012 collections

"Remember trends are meant to be embraced, so make them your own!" advises Bedward.

Here I will try to show main trends from runway Spring/Summer 2012 season collections. So you can sure choose which ones you like most and apply to your wardrobe to stay in style. As this is the right time start looking for them in shops, spring will come sooner than you expect.




Pleats/Cold shoulders/B&W
Pleats as well as B&W combination were very trendy all this year and in upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 season they are still popular. But they aren't as girly as before, the right word to describe newest B&W trend is - fierce, but still you have to keep it very feminine.
Another hot trend on runways are so called - cold shoulders, they give interesting new spin on your outfit and make it look so seductive.








Peplum/Orange/Boat neck
In Spring/Summer 2012 collections designers still really want you to wear orange though this colour has been on runways for already three seasons. If you do not like clothes of this colour, you can still manage to get accessories.
Peplum is now one of top trends on runways featured on dresses, skirts, and trousers. My personal favourite is peplum used on suits that adds a feminine touch to them. Though there is just one problem - they add volume to your hips. So if you consider it as your problem zone, better avoid peplums.
Other trend - boat neck is so on this season. For formal wear designers like to show more demure versions, though for casual this neckline can go as deep as you desire.




Bra tops/Sweet Sorbet
Get your tummy ready for spring season as it has to be perfect because cropped tops and bra tops are going to be big hit not only in casual wear but evening too. You can easily combine it with skirts or trousers - pick the one you like more.
Spring/Summer 2012 is about lovely bright sorbet colours that look so fresh and lively are now here. But the best thing is that we actually are allowed to put them in one outfit.







1920's/Teal meets turquoise/Fringe/Rounded shoulders
The runways for Spring/Summer 2012 collections were full of flapper-inspired pieces, fringed embellishments and drop waists. That means shapeless dresses with line drawn just around the hips are here to stay. If you happen to consider you waist a problem area this is the time to choose the most trendy dress you have ever had.
"Teal meets turquoise" colours are here to stay and look fabulous as we could see lots of underwater life on catwalk.
Designers didn't show fringe or rounded shoulders in every collection but it sure looked awesome where it was present. Problem with rounded shoulders is that they will look very well only on petite body as they make you appear bigger than you actually are.




Tribal,Animal,Bird Prints/Summer leather/Hotpants
So many tribal, animal, bird prints have been showing up everywhere on the runways, from New York to Milan. But what is even more trendy is to mix them up, as many designers did by putting several of them in one clothing item. So all you have to do is to add matching accessories to your own mix of prints or your favourite garment of already mixed ones.
Leather is a trend that somehow doesn't want to go away even in summer. Perfect for summer wear are leather shorts, skirts, dresses, vests or even dungarees.
Another one is hotpant trend that is really very popular with designers in Spring/Summer collections, they come in so many styles and colours that almost anyone can choose their favourite.




Floral Prints/Pastels
Spring/Summer collections are full of large prints, screaming colours, mixing many flower prints in entire outfit. Wear it big and bold and don't be afraid to go head-to-toe and the more screaming the colour is, the better. Though if you do not like to be noticed so much or simply have milder taste, some designers still offer flower prints in pastels, that is another trend of this season.
Pastels are definitely making a comeback for upcoming spring/summer 2012. Such colours as baby-pink, blue, and light yellow with materials silk and cotton look best when mixed together.






Sheer/Handbags/Matte Satin
Sheer has had a revival for Spring/Summer 2012 season and although it isn’t as daring as it used to be, is still very sexy and erotic. Sheer slinky fabrics, lace trimming, ruffles and revealing necklines and splits – all these will be really trendy.
Handbags we spotted were mostly medium-sized and in bright colours, though there are still quite a lot of clutches too. The top now is definitely a small handbag with one handle - sophisticated and sexy.
Matte satin is the top fabric to be elegant and edgy, that is why it's used in everything - dresses, jackets, blouses, trousers, shoes, with wide range of colours offered. So all you need to do is decide which one you like more.





One shoulder/White/Lace
One shoulder trend is here to stay and now not only in long dresses but everywhere with pleats, embroidery and crystals. It's a sexy laid back look and if you already have such a dress, accessorize and you are looking trendy.
The ever-pure, ethereal, total white is what designers offer us for Spring/Summer 2012. Even our accessories are white this season.
Lace was hot before and still is offered for spring, but if in previous seasons it was on every item now it is mostly on dresses. Designers offer total femininity by making an entire dress out of lace.
