Now that we’ve rung in the new year and spent a month getting used to writing 2012 on bank forms, lets look forward into the year’s fashion future.

There are key elements every year that you can invest in for year round wear. Buying for year round wear is especially useful here in San Francisco where we only have fall and spring weather and layering is key 365 days a year.

From Spring to Fall  key items for 2012 are:

Fun prints and retro cuts.

Pleated skirts from mini to maxi and beyond.

Cropped jackets from bombers to puffers.

Tights have been a staple for a few chilly seasons now.  However unlike previous ventures, this season’s choices have gone beyond just wacky colors.  Its a free-for-all of creativity.  One of my favorite makers of these works of leg art is Look from London – a Brooklyn based maker of all things tights!  If you think his online choices are incredible you need to see his collection in person.  Every pattern imaginable in at least 20 color options and can be printed on any patterned fishnet or solid tights.  I was stunned by choices.  Remember being in Sweet Factory as a kid and mommy says “okay now what do you want?”  Ya, it’s like tat.  The choice is yours – now make some loud leggy statements!
