Bright Colors
Think pink, yellow, red and turquoise for 2012's spring season. Bright colors will be in and showing up on clothing, shoes and accessories. Dress in a brightly-colored dress or pant suit, or add a splash of bright, bold color with a scarf, belt or handbag.
Big Flower Prints
Remember the big flower prints women wore in the 1960s? They're coming back this spring and will be seen on dresses, skirts, tops and scarves. Make a spring fashion statement with one garment that boasts a big flower print. One or two mix and match pieces can take you through the season.
Khaki and Gold
Last year was all about silver and gold is going to be the big metallic color this spring. When paired with khaki tan, gold is sexy in a classic sort of way. Complement a khaki and gold outfit with a bit of bronzer in your makeup and you'll look like you just returned from the Bahamas.
Slightly Monochromatic
This spring's twist on monochromatic is to mix two shades of the same color. Mix a bright fuchsia top with a skirt that's one shade lighter or darker. Use of the same color creates one long, silhouette but the variance in shade is interesting to the eye.
Sport Influence
Expect to see a sports influence in the spring season attire in 2012, especially from the surf culture. Incorporate sport-influenced attire into your going out wardrobe and wherever it fits in your work wardrobe.
Tribal Prints
You don't have to visit the jungle to pick up on a tribal influence this spring. Find a variety of small and large tribal prints on the spring season's clothing. Combine a bold colored dress with a tribal print jacket or scarf. Spice up a conservative suit or jeans outfit with a tribal print blouse for a show-stopping outfit that's still tasteful.
Neon Colors
If you want to stand out in a crowd, you'll have no problem doing just that with this spring's neon colors. Plan to see neon colors showing up in wardrobe staples, fashion accessories and shoes. Choose your neon attire wisely so you don't end up being too bright to look at.
