Top 5 Spring 2012 Fashion Week Trends

Fashion Week carries on across the pond and continues to impress with exciting runway shows being held in Milan, Paris and London.  I have taken notice to the few big trends for Spring 2012, and can’t wait to take all the fun fashion to the streets! Here are 5 of the most popular emerging trends I love and will definitely be carrying at stylehaüs!

  • Dazzling Menswear

Making Menswear feminine and fresh can be tricky, but these looks are glammed up to the max; utilizing metallics, bold colors, and fitted silhouettes allow this style to be sexy but with an edge.

  • Flapper Frocks

The runways have been taken over by flapper sheaths that are perfectly elegant and sexy for a night out on the town.  I love the intricate beading and embroidery, and styled with subdued hair and makeup make for a fresh and sleek look.

  • Floral Frenzy

Another huge Spring look for is floral prints. Various shows displayed this trend, whether it was head-to-toe floral or just one accent piece to finish the outfit, I love the über-girly vibe to this style.

  • All White

White is back as the new sexy color of next season!  Many shows displayed all-white looks that create a goddess like effect.  Mixing this clean look with a bold red or pink lipstick is a great way to look chic and current.
