Damir Doma spring ’12; Thakoon Addition pre-fall ’12; Balenciaga spring ’12; Jenni Kayne pre-fall ’12.

Layered Neutrals: Neutral tones should be worn one on top of the other, for a layered multi-dimensional effect!

Pastels: Blush Pink, Mint Green, and Robin’s Egg Blue carry over from fall’s neon trend into the spring!

*Fur or sheer clothing, women’s tuxedo, plunging necklines and of course the return of the blazers, vests and coats.
* ’70s bohemian and ’70s sophisticated glamour remains high on the list of carry-over trends, taking with it the likes of flares and wide-leg pants; while on the tough side, biker and punk follow through to the new season.
