Feminine silhouettes
The catch-all phrase of the season is femininity. Ditch your boyfriend jeans in favour of lady-like A-line skirts, nude accessories, and soft fabrics. Play up the elegance in pleats, florals, statement jewellery (especially earrings), and peplum skirts that add structure to dresses or a feminine touch to suits. Treat rosette detail as a bonus.

Neons and pastels
From romantic pastels to high-voltage neons, Spring 2012 fashion brings a softer approach to colour blocking. This time, ice cream nudes, sorbet pastel hues and clear whites get mixed and matched with neon pink, tangerine, and lime. They say opposites attract.

Prints
History repeats itself. Besides, is there anything more statement-making than a good old bold print? Play with lines in Art Deco graphics, find your inner Hippie in tribal and floral print, go feminine in polka dot. Show your support to ornithology and try something new, like hummingbirds, swans, and pheasants. Or birds in general.

Retro and vintage
Take a fashionable trip to your favourite times. Make a choice between roaring 1920s with a boxy cut and dropped-waist dresses, and feminine 1950s old Hollywood glamour inspired by Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Laylor, their empowering and strong sex-appeal, with bra tops and full skirts.

Bold Tailoring
This season brings an easy update to the tailored separates. Sporty enough to be functional, yet still incredibly fashionable thanks to a tailored shape. Look for crop tops, one-shoulder dresses, retro-style bra tops, and luxurious tops and jackets with rounded shoulders.
