Spring 2011: Trends That Left The Fashion Schools Buzzing (the Rest Of Us Too)

The new year is proving to be a very interesting and eclectic year in fashion

. Watching the trends that came down the runways for Spring 2011, left everyone with a sparkle in their eyes and a skip in their step (it wasnt just the champagne!) Looking at the bright, bold and fresh spring trends reminiscent of a fashion school graduates first show (meant in the most flattering way possible) reminds us that fashion is not dead, drab or boring anymore. There has been new life brethed into the clothing world and it is going to be an exciting spring.

Top 5 Spring 2011 Trends:

1. Bold Colours: While nude is still nice, bold is fashions secret weapon this spring. Dazzling hues of orange, green and blue make everything new and clean again (not neon!). Designers have taken inspiration from fresh fruits, Dr. Seuss, and the freshness of the season. For those who like to rock wear it head to toe. For those who like to stand out a little less, buy some fabulously bright accessories and wow the crowd. Staples: oranges, greens and blues.

2. Feminine and Flirty: Nothing says feminine like the sultry 60s housewife-inspired look for the spring. Mad Mens Christina Hendricks really knows how to fill out a sheath, and designers took notice. The hourglass figure is back, ladies and gents. Dont have a curvy bod? Pick up a full skirt and tiny belt and cinch that waist up. The full skirt is the perfect paradox for day and a perfect option for those who dont like flaunt what theyve got. Staples: full skirt, fitted sweater, sheath dress and kitten heels.

3. Biker Chic: Replacing the uber-popular military trend that has plagued designers for more than a decade, biker jackets and quilted leather pants are suddenly all the rage. But dont go for basic black and matted leather; think metallic and futuristic. Then pair it with a funky pair of biker boots and youre good to go. Staples: bikeresque jacket, biker boots.

4. Punk-ish: While punk has been an underground favourite for years now, the newness has faded away, much like the washed out founders of the style. But the anguished and independent message remains, as do certain elements of the style. Studs, leather and holey shirts are pieces you can pair with other solid pieces of clothing. Dont over do it, and you wont drown. Staples: ripped or worn tees, Doc Martens and something studded.

5. Disco Dream: The 70s are back, and thats the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, the designers like it. This time around, though, the feathered dos and flared pants are elegant inspired. Statement belts and billowing sleeves finish off the look for day; while sophisticated bohemian dresses and a few well-placed chunky rings will blow peoples minds in the evening. Farrah would be proud. Staples: Flared pants, blouses and a fantastically long dress.

There you have it: the styles and inspiration behind 2011 fashion trends. Fashion careers have been built on less and lesser trends have been appearing for years. Have fun and be fashionable!
