The 80's Are Back, With a Modern Twist!!! Hot Spring 2011 Fashions

Trends seem to change every single season, while we sat around and had our eyes raped by the hideous male fashion of super tight skinny jeans, we thankfully got to take a final sigh of relief as the long lasting ball crunching trend is finally taking a halt in the 'whats in' department.


Spring is amongst us, it's 2011, and some of you may be wondering what the next big hot fashion trend is. Like last season, bold seems to be in the now.

That's not just focusing on clothing, bold trends this spring 2011 include cosmetics, clothing, and colors.

This season hot must have color include anything neon. Neon is in again ladies!!! Personally I was always a fan of it, but due to the ever changing trends in the fashion industry, my 80's hot pinks and neon greens sat at the back burner in my closet eventually finding a new home in a local thrift store. Now, I wish I had kept them seeing that neon's are springing up everywhere this spring.

Hot neon nail polishes are making a huge comeback, and these neon's have not seen nails since the 80's. It's nice to see an old era trend pop back up into stores, even more nice to see that they are taking off and making a huge splash in culture once again.

Neon pinks are all the rage right now, from nails to tops, and even pretty club dresses, jackets, and sneakers.

Bold bright colors for jeans are also making a comeback, and the most popular colors include teals, reds, pinks, and lilacs. Neon's are more bold in the denim department, but they too will likely take off.

For those of you who do not like neon's, or just cannot find a way to make them work, you can skip it and try out another one of the newest trends, which was also adopted from the 1980's.

This hot trend includes tight leggings, with a nice skirt on top of them. Short shorts can also be worn over leggings, and like in the 80's this trend not only looks good, but it is also perfect for the spring due to the wacky weather of hot and cold. If you get too hot you can simply remove the leggings and wear the skirt alone.

As far as shirts go Tee's with sparky graphics or retro fonts seem to be in the now as well.

When it comes to jewelry, chunky, large and bold has been a top favorite for the past 2 years now, and the trend seems to have been sticking for quite some time now. Silver in particular is in again, where gold used to be the top priority. Silver however is lower priced, and matches wardrobes better than most gold pieces. Unique pieces, handmade one of a kinds are taking over. In fact, most fashion gurus are more into creating their own pieces, than purchasing them.

In the cosmetics department, the trend has stuck for years, and that trend is tan. The tanner the better. However most skin care junkies know that tanning beds and the sun is a no-no, as it will age skin prematurely. Tans in cans, lotions, gels and moisturizers are all the rage, and many companies create such fantastic tans in cans that they look as real as if you had been sprawled out in the sun. AquaTan is a favorite of mine personally.

Overall, trends change. They come, they go, and they come back again with a few new modern tweaks. This spring 2011, all trends we will be seeing will be pulled from the 1980's, with of course a new modern twist. So pull out your denims, drag out your neon colors, and work it.
