5 Color Trends for Spring 2012

It’s that time of year again — spring is just around the corner! With the warmer temperatures comes a bunch of new fashion trends, including the latest and greatest color trends. Rocking this season’s hottest hues is a surefire way to stay on trend without breaking the bank — just pick out a new piece or two in one of the colors below and you’ll have a completely updated look for springtime.

Tangerine

Marc by Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Tam and Jennie Packham Spring 2012 RTW

Pantone named tangerine the color of 2012, so get ready to see this bright hue everywhere this spring. Tangerine is a highly-saturated orange with a reddish undertone, which makes it a flattering shade on most skin tones. Once the warm weather hits, try wearing a bold dress, top or bikini in this shade. However, if you’re feeling a little color shy, start small by rocking a tangerine mani or accessory.

Mint

Chanel, Vera Wang and Rodarte Spring 2012 RTW

Pastel colors are going to be big in general this season, but mint is the trendiest hue of the bunch. This frosty shade is a lovely mix between blue and green and gives off a light, airy vibe. Mint pairs well with many colors, but we especially love how it looks with yellow, pink and teal. Mix and match a mint-colored item with one of those shades for a gorgeous and spring-appropriate look.

Citron Yellow

J. Mendel, Rebecca Taylor and Nanette Lepore Spring 2012 RTW

This color is definite way to beat those winter blues! Citron yellow is just on the verge of being fluorescent, which is why we love it — this shade is b-o-l-d. Adding a citron yellow piece to your wardrobe is sure to brighten up your whole look and, as a bonus, will instantly make your skin look more tan — no fake-baking required!

Kelly Green

Jo No Fui, Diane von Furstenberg and Akris Spring 2012 RTW

We’ve been lusting after this color ever since Emily Blunt rocked a kelly green frock at the SAG Awards a few weeks back, so we’re ecstatic it’ll be über-popular for spring. This bright green shade is definitely a head-turner and we can’t wait to wear kelly green shorts, sundresses and sandals throughout spring and summer.

Product Info: Shorts- J. Crew, Dress- ASOS, Bag- H&M, Wedges- Old Navy, Belt- J. Crew, Top- Patagonia

Coral Pink

Jill Stuart, Tory Burch and Christian Siriano Spring 2012 RTW

No list of spring color trends would be complete without some pink, and this season’s most popular hue is a bright shade with just a hint of orange. Coral has a great blend of femininity and edginess that works in any girl’s wardrobe. Hopefully you’ll find a piece that matches your aesthetic below!

The Combat Boot Trend

Combat boots are the envy of all of our proper and prissy shoe friends! They are the epitome of what it means to be rugged! My favorite way to rock my boots is with textured tights, mid-calf socks, some distressed shorts, a graphic tee and an over sized cardigan or a fitted leather! Hot right? This shoe isn't just for the rebel with a cause, many women and girls are finding ways to ease this trend into their everyday look while still remaining stylish and chic! Check out some of your favorite celebs rocking their Combats and how they decided to style them!

Jessica Alba rocks her combat boots with some black skinny pants, a grey sweater tunic, a black, jersey knit scarf and a black and white chain strap scarf  and , of course, her Starbucks! Perfect look for college student or if you're just running errands. Wear a colorful charm bracelet or exhange the black scarf for burnt orange or mustard color for an added pop!

Rihanna is know for her stylish ways! Here, she rocks her combat boots with a printed body con mini dress, a tan fanny pack, simple necklace and her aviators! With such masculine and rugged boots, she has made the look feminine and still girly! It's sort of a Boho Edgy! Pair your favorite body con dress with netted tights, your combat boots and throw over a fitted leather jacket for a layered look for fall!

Miley Cyrus is one of the most stylish Disney stars! Here she is seen rocking her combat boots with distressed denims, a simple grey tank under a plaid, button-front shirt with her aviators! I LOVE this look! One of my favs! Totally Rocker ! Looks effortlessly thrown together but overly stylish!
