Fashion trends Spring-Summer 2012

Cropped tops and bra tops are the main fashion trends for Spring/Summer 2012. Combined with shorts or a mini skirt they guarantee your trendy look. Shorts can be various in style and fabrics - jeans, leather, wide, tight, with high or low waist.

Floral prints are never out of fashion and they can be seen in many designers collections. Some of them like Blumarine used this trend to the extreme level while others just added floral prints to their collections to make them more feminine.

Asymmetrical hemlines are a way to make clothes more interesting and different. They are seen not only in dresses and skirts, but also in jackets. You will find them for sure in the collections of Givenchy and Jason Wu.

Animal prints are favorite to many women. This season however the usual leopard print has become more delicate. Very hot are snakeskin and crocodile skin prints, as well as patterns featuring other animals like lizards, cats and birds.

The combination of black and white was in fashion for Autumn and Winter and it will obviously reign in Spring and Summer. Many designers like Lanvin, Balmain, Jean Paul Gaultier, Emporio Armani and Roland Mouret bet on this trend.

Boat neck is also a key look for the season. Transparent fabrics, laces, ruffles, revealing necklines and splits are also really trendy and can be found in the collections of Valentino, John Richmond, Nina Ricci, Betsey Johnson and John Galliano.

Chanel, Emanuel Ungaro and Elie Saab rely on shiny fabrics and chic dresses.

A very sexy look is also achieved with cold shoulders - another key fashion trend for the season.

If you want to be in fashion for Spring and Summer you can also add to your wardrobe fringe, pleats and perforated fabrics.

Dresses made entirely from lace are also a nice choice.

Total white look is another hot trend that you can rely on for Spring-Summer 2012.
