How To Fall for Spring 2012 Trends Now

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:00:48 +0000

In lieu of of the Spring 2012 collections shown in New York, London, Milan and soon-to-come Paris, we can easily forget to focus on what to wear this fall. But there are plenty of trends we’ve seen on the runways during the past three weeks that can easily be integrated into our wardrobes during the few chilly months left in 2011. Don’t save the mesh, dropped waist and sorbet colors for next season – we’ll show you how to wear them right now.

Call me square come a couple of years, but fringe never goes out of style in my mind. Big on the spring runways, this trend can easily be worn in the form of fall jackets and ponchos. DvF knows how to do bohemian chic right.

Don't wait until Spring to channel your inner Roaring Twenties babe. You can work the drop waist right now with your favorite flapper dress. Keep this embellished beauty in mind for a holiday party - throw on a fur shrug and you're ready to go.

And speaking of holiday parties, what dress is more perfect than this? Mesh has been on the scene for a few seasons now, and we can't get enough. Thigh-highs will keep your legs warm with no waistband show-through at the lower back.

Walking around with one bare shoulder doesn't mean a chill is inevitable. This skin-baring trend isn't seasonal when worn the correct way. Throw in cashmere and a scarf and you'll be in business for the colder months.

The blooming shape of a peplum doesn't only come alive in spring; you can wear this ultra-feminine shape year round. Pair a long sleeve blouse and boots with this skirt in the fall for a chic downtown look.

Just because you're cold and miserable doesn't mean you have to look it. Sorbet may be the hot color palette for Spring 2012, but a nice pair of silk trousers in October never hurt anyone. Pair with a blazer and razor sharp pointed-toe boots for a smart daytime look.

Springing for 2012 Trends from New York and London

Spring 2012 is blooming before our very eyes as trends fall in fringe, sprout like flowers and actively kick it into hyperspeed. Designers from New York and London are on a wavelength that transcends oceans, and that frequency is tickling our future wardrobes with trends we love.

The sweetest color story to ice the runway is sherbet's pastel palette. Light and fruity, it harkens back to childhood only with a twist of business silhouette.

Sportswear is actively working its way into the daily regalia. It'll leave you prepared to break a sweat without a change.

This overskirt piece has been adding volume since the 19th century. Now done in our favorite muted brights, they kick a pencil skirt up.

Leave a sleeve off for the asymmetry of it. The cut is feels right in sheer and bouncy textiles.

Fringe is falling on spring, shagging shirts and leaving them stringy. Shimmy and shake in this new take on the 20's trim.

We already sniffed out the painted floral trend on the third day of NYFW, but the powerful flower prints just keep on sprouting. Whether digitized in a McQueenian manner or illustrated á la art deco, the prints we've been going gaga over have the same common blooming thread.

Badass boots and his signature hardware toughen-up the collection as they do, and we’ll never be able to get enough. Click through to see all the covetable pieces.

THE TEN: Fashion Trends We Hope Remain In The Grave

Hillary Frazier — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:34:52 +0000

Everyone knows trends find a way of phasing themselves back in (we’ve been going through a severe 90s grunge comeback for awhile now), but there’s a few trends that we hope never make it back to life (although some of them are trying desperately, or maybe already have):

1. Thong leotards over biker shorts- Wasn’t a good look when Kelly Kapowski from Saved By The Bell did it, and isn’t even a good look for 80s parties.

2. Shutter shades- I know once Kanye was spotted in these everyone went crazy over them, but in my opinion, shutter shades were never okay, and will never, ever be okay. They serve no purpose besides making you look like a douche.

3. Visors- I have a feeling that sooner or later, hipsters are going to think that grandma visors are ‘ironic.’ I’ll just put it out there now to save everyone the $5: they aren’t ironic, they’re ugly.

4. Mesh- so not okay. Small mesh (like the Brian Lichtenberg or American Apparel dress) = good. Big mesh = this guy.

5. Crocheted tank tops or bath suit tops as shirts- Just plain ugly.

6. Tying up dress shirts (a la ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’)- This was cool for like, a day, but trying to be ‘sexy’ while being fifteen and in catholic school is not happening.

7. One size fits all shirts- I really don’t know who thought this was a good idea. These are the ugliest shirts I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

8. Guys in flared jeans/pants- I know this actually happens. I’ve been a witness to many guys still wearing flared jeans, most of the time girls’ jeans, but occasionally True Religion will make a pair of flares. Note to all guys: if you’re going to wear girls jeans, at least get ones that look like they could belong to a guy. And also, this is not the 70s.

9. Dark lip liner- Beyond trashy. Seriously, what the hell

10. Scrunchies- I really, really, REALLY hope this isn’t happening.

To all of the trend setters of the world, please do us a favor and stay away from reviving these, or prepare for a permanent spot in Street Zeroes.
