I have just finished a design project based on Womenswear for Zara, choosing the trend 50's Twist new to SS12. This trend is perfect for this year as it consists of minimalist shapes such as cropped jackets/tops, playful gathered and pleated skirts, and high waisted shorts/skirts/trousers. The colour palette however is defined by light tones of candy coloured pastels such as baby pinks, mint greens and sky blues, appearing in most high street stores this season, alongside quirky unusual prints.
Although personally the key item I think to have in your wardrobe for this season, which I recommend from this trend would be a pastel toned blazer, possibly for an evening look placed with a simple elongated pencil skirt and cream lace top tucked underneath while for day time this would go well with skinny black jeans or even wet look leggings, with a loose fitted top and wedges this will be the perfect look for the summer.
