2012 has come and in case you’re a trendsetter who follows all the latest fashion trends, this is the year of neon, art deco and chic athletic wear. Therefore, use any coupons you may have for your shopping therapy!

While neon will always be tied to 1980s fashion, vibrant colors are making a comeback for 2012. Forget the old neon that was so bright, it hurt onlookers’ eyes — today’s neon is softer while still making sure your look commands attention.

Florals are also among the latest fashion trends, so look for bold and graphic flowers. Choose one piece of clothing or accessory as your floral focal point to avoid going overboard with this trend.

Maybe flowers aren’t your style. If not, the geometric details of art deco-inspired prints may be more your thing. Look for vertical detailing for the most flattering and slimming look.

As for color, the black and yellow combo is the hottest trend going. Don’t worry about looking like a bumblebee, however — pair these two colors with black taking up most of your ensemble, and leave yellow to highlight with minor detailing.

Tangerine is another trendy choice. Either play up one piece with this vibrant shade or go bold with allover tangerine in a flowing dress.

If you prefer a more subtle look, white is the choice for spring. Flowing garments with lots of drape look fantastic in all white, so wear a floor-length maxidress or a blouse-and-slacks combo to stand out.

Polka dots are once again in style, so opt for small dot details when wearing them all over, or go for bigger, bolder dots on just a blouse.

Are you more concerned with comfort? Then the chic athletic style is one of the latest fashion trends for you. Forget looking sloppy; today’s athletic-inspired pieces are more tailored and sophisticated, allowing you to be comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Choose a trend or two, play it up according to your unique style and you’ll sport a fashionable look all year long.

Summer is just a few months away and you are probably thinking of checking out department stores and boutiques in preparation for your summer getaway. If you want to buy new pieces from the swimwear 2012 collections, here are some tips that will help you get through the process.

Modern swimsuits come in many different colors so make sure to choose shades that would look great on your skin tone. Take note that bright colored varieties would suit a fairly tanned skin while those with darker colors would look best on women with fair complexion.

For slender women, swimwear items that feature prints all over the fabric would create an illusion of a more curvaceous body. On the contrary, women who are after swimsuits that can make them look slimmer should opt for plain pieces with dark colors. There are different types of swimwear ranging from bikinis, to monokinis to the classic one-piece swimsuits and you can always try out which types you would be most comfortable in.

One of the best places to get ideas on what to wear for your prom is the red carpet. Hollywood celebrities always get first dibs on the hottest designs in the season. Young girls who are planning for their prom should always make it a point to be up to date with the dress designs that grace the red carpet so that they would have an idea what type of dress they should be looking for when they go through prom dresses 2012 that are sold in stores. Along with the dress, you will also be able to pick up ideas on how you can style your hair and what make up looks you can try. Looking good doesnt always mean that you need to spend thousands of money. All you need to do is be resourceful in looking for places where you would be able to get the prom dress of your dreams without needing to rob a bank.
