<strong>Feature: 2012 Spring/Summer Trend Report!</strong> Latest Style Keywords Decoded from Pre-Collections

<strong>Feature: 2012 Spring/Summer Trend Report!</strong> Chapter 1: Check Out the Key Style Keywords! "Retro" One of the defining style keywords for the 2012 Spring/Summer season is "retro," a style that offers a different nuance from the elegant classic styles that have been in focus. Think classic dresses reminiscent of 1940s American style, or familiar, nostalgic patterns like checks and floral prints.

<strong>Feature: 2012 Spring/Summer Trend Report!</strong> Chapter 1: Check Out the Key Style Keywords! "Marine" A must-have for the Spring/Summer season is the marine style.

Incorporate them boldly through prints or accessories.

<strong>Feature: 2012 Spring/Summer Trend Report!</strong> Chapter 1: Check Out the Key Style Keywords! "Safari" The safari look, based on earth tones, is refreshingly new for 2012 Spring/Summer!

<strong>Feature: 2012 Spring/Summer Trend Report!</strong> Chapter 1: Check Out the Key Style Keywords! "Work & Sports Mix" In the 2011 Autumn/Winter season, the "Oji-girl" style, which incorporated classic shoes, eyewear, and cropped pants for a slightly unfashionable look, gained attention. For the 2012 Spring/Summer season, the trend may shift to the "Oji-lady" style, which deconstructs feminine outfits by pairing them with basic blousons and other "masculine" outerwear.

<strong>Feature: 2012 Spring/Summer Trend Report!</strong> Chapter 1: Check Out the Key Style Keywords! "Pajama Look" Perhaps an advanced take on relaxed style, the pajama look is something to try! While the classic combination of an oversized shirt with loose pants is one option, a set-up of sweatpants with ribbed cuffs and a matching sweat top could be the "pajama look" of a new era!?
