There are always big swings in fashion and you never know exactly where the next big thing is going to come from. Stores might start carrying a replica version of a dress that the Best Actress Oscar winner wore the night of the Academy Awards. On the other hand, a big event like the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton started a rush on developing wedding dresses inspired by Middleton’s Alexander McQueen gown. No matter what moves 2012 fashion forward, there are things you should probably count on when putting together your trendy new wardrobe:
Metallic Fashion – In part started by the increasingly fashion-forward style of Lady Gaga, think shimmer and shine the next time you’re buying any fashion accessories to add to your outfits. Bright orange may be the biggest color this year, but don’t forget about muted golds, silvers and bronze in your handbag selection. If western style is your thing, go for wholesale cross handbags, which usually feature a metal-accented cross, which would sync up perfectly with your new copper-toned miniskirt.
Prints – As always, prints are staying put, but you’ll be surprised to learn that animal prints are not the number one contender for pattern of the year. This year, tribal prints are the go-to pattern when choosing a striking blouse or skirt. This is a stunning change from 2011, which showcased a more demure, softened look with light patterns. Expect more tribal prints to be added to existing wardrobes instead of becoming the overwhelming centerpiece of a person’s style.
Pleats and Ruffles – Remember those cute Easter dresses your mother had you wear to the local Easter Egg Hunt? Well, be on the lookout for the ruffles and pleats those cute summer dresses featured. They will be making a large move to the dress racks in the adult section of your local department stores. You may want to begin planning your dress selections right now!
