We touched briefly on slicked back hair yesterday during our top SS 2012 classic styles. But we thought this 80s throw back deserved a post all of its own.
Taking inspiration from the era of pop and punk, this trend already showcased by the likes of Emma Watson and Pixie Geldof, has made catwalk head ways for the spring/Summer season.
If you’re a gal who likes to keep her barnet long and down then take lead from Rebecca Taylor, Victoria Beckham and BCBG which showed off loose slicked back locks, while updos and styles for shorter hair were key at Ralph Lauren and Ruffian.
We’re off to buy that all important hair gel now.
See the gallery below for the hot looks of SS 2012.

Metallics are no strangers to the fashion world, often making an appearance on clothing, in hair and of course eye make-up and next season they make more than just a cameo.
For Spring/Summer 2012 this trend has a leading role in the eye make-up show. However, unlike this season where metallics were dark and bold, next season is all about pale shimmery hues.
Copy the look seen on the Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Gucci catwalks and go for an almost white metallic eyeshadow to make your eyes stand out.
To combine this, and the smokey trend gently brush lower lids with this hue, but not too much- this trend is all about softness.
See the gallery below for our top five designer looks.

The Spring season is almost upon us and we can’t wait to push those jumpers to the back of our wardrobes. It’s also a great excuse to revamp our make up bags.
If you’re a girl who loves the 60s look then you’ll adore this season’s beauty trends, which give a huge nod to this era. One such look is statement smoky eyes.
Seen on the catwalks of Gucci, Rodarte and Erin Fetherstone this look lets you be as big and bold as you like.
Coat those eyelids with dark bold colours, which spread to the brow and of course under the eyelids add some thick eyeliner and you’re ready to dance away to those cheesy tunes in one of this season’s hottest looks.
See the gallery below for our top five statement smoky eye looks.

You may not feel it, but spring is most definitely on its way, at least on the highstreet anyway. This season there’s a huge range of styles to choose from and we can’t wait until the frost thaws and rain goes, so we can begin to channel these looks.
The first trend we can’t wait to get into is the 20s flapper look, which has been given a summer make over. Gone are the feathers seen in AW 2011 and in come the sequins, drop waisted dresses and light fabrics, which really emulate this era.
If you’re a girly girl then the cute and sweet Sugar Doll look is also a must-have trend. Florals and girly colours fashioned into lace and simple cut frocks make up this style for the SS 2012 and was hot on the Louis Vuitton catwalk, while pastels also compliment this trend.
Those who like to show their casual side will also love the glam sports trend. Shown by Victoria Beckham, amongst others, this smart take on the sporty look – think sleek trackies, metallic vests and cute trainers – is great for those chilling out days.
See the gallery below for our top five trends.

Every Spring/Summer we see an abundance of pastels adorning the highstreet and this upcoming season is no different.
However 2012′s take on this traditional trend is all about sheer, soft fabrics as well as feathers in pretty dresses, skinny suits and shift frocks.
Mulberry opted for yellow as its key colour while pale blues were a favourite at Ralph Lauren and Lanvin. Givenvhy showed off pastel pinks, while Christopher Kane went for bolder satins.
Hurry up summer we can’t wait to parade our pastels.

If a dress or skirt isn’t your cup of tea then why not give a nod to the seventies this Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Take inspiration from the Studio 54 look and go for a black flared number or play it simple and sophisticated with a haterneck all in one.
Those wishing to add some sparkle to the party can opt for sequined numbers, which are hot on the highstreet this year, while prints will also ensure you stay bang on-trend at that Christmas or New Year’s Eve party.

Love it or loathe it snakeprint has slithered from associations with Scary Spice and ‘Ender’s Kat Slater into this season, making it one of the hottest trends to be seen it.
Prada showcased this print in its AW 2011 catwalk in the shape of shoes, plastic garish coats mixed with fur, while Chloe showed off something that little bit more subtle with this trend appearing in floaty chiffon frocks.
Go for the bright look – we’re talking pinks, blues and oranges – shown at Angelo Marani, keep it subtle with creams or go all out with 70s inspired snakeprint trousers.
Whatever you choose you’ll be bang on this season’s trend.
See the gallery below for all the designer inspiration.

With the winter weather and party season in full swing, capes are a great alternative to that thick coat.
Given a push from the 20s and 30s into one of today’s must-haves these little warmers are great teamed up with a classic LBD, over a vest top worn with skinny jeans and also a cute pleated skirt.
Go all Strictly Come Dancing and pick sequins or feathers or give a nod to the equestrian look with checks and sheepskin.
Below are our top five cape must haves.

The 70s are a hot fashion topic right now. And while we love all the funky prints and denim the best style to come out of this era and into this season is of course the jumpsuit.
This little one piece has been around for a few seasons but for AW 2011 its taken on a wide legged silhouette and a satin, velvet or silk appearance.
If you want to wear one of these lovelies to that Christmas party then keep it simple. Add a thin waist belt to accentuate that wide leg and add some super high heels.
Finish off the look with a little leather jacket to go right back to that Studio 54 look.
See the gallery below for some designer inspiration.

Hats are always a must have during these cold winter months but like every garment, these change depending on the trends.
Therefore that wooly hat you had last year may not just cut it. Thankfully we have been keeping our beady little fashion eyes on what’s hot in the hat world this season to ensure you get your look just right, and it’s great news for those mad about these head warmers because there’s a huge amount of styles to choose from.
Take the lead from Burberry and go for a faux fur animal print beret or go right back to 80s ghetto chic with a baseball cap as seen on the Miu Miu catwalk. Give a nod to the military look with a soldier style hat as seen at Moschino or play it cool with a fedora as spotted at D&G and Tommy Hilfiger.
See the gallery below for some designer inspiration.
