Moving away from the wintery shades of grey that were popular in Autumn/Winter 2006, fashion for spring 2007 is set to be inspirational, retro and colourful.

A gradual move into the new season sees the monochrome look coming into its own. The striking black and white livens up the mood from the previous season over into a fresher looking spring with the revival of 1960's fashion.

Towards the end of the Autumn/Winter season, fashion hinted at mini lengths - a trend that is definitely sticking around and is most certainly key this spring. The love for metallics is set to continue well into spring.

It's important to remember variations of key transitional styles. We loved metallics and sequins, but spring's look is futuristic with an emphasis shiny metallics. Much coveted sequins have been replaced with other forms of shimmery embellishment, particularly around the neckline. Celebrities have been lining up to get embellished, with dresses shining with mirror beads, metals, crystals and diamantes.

Monochrome is a particularly hot look that suits blondes and brunettes alike. It's hard to imagine the relevance of mono black and white tones for the spring season. The new sixties mini cuts of spring makes the monochrome look work.

Interesting this season sees fashions first retro foray into the 1990's. Experimentation with vintage clothing and eighties retro dressing has exploded over the past few years evident with the opening of more vintage boutiques and the re-emergence of leggings. Only now is fashion "retro" dressing back as early as the nineties, as hints of bright neon colours and rave scene prints surface to grab fashion's limelight.

The neon look is cleverly being introduced into our fashion conscience having been applied to current must haves. Realising that leggings and footless tights are here to stay, the spring season sees the prominence of neon footless tights and leggings, a change from the safe black of last season.
