Top 10 Fashion Trends for Spring 2012 from New York Fashion Week: This season brought back some Spring 2011 trends alongside some more unexpected ones. Here’s a look at 10 of the most notable.
Chokers – Rag and Bone
Arguably one of the more difficult trends to pull off, we already saw it creeping in in the Fall 2011 collections (at Vena Cava, Lanvin, and Emanuel Ungaro for example). Now that it carried through on the Spring runways (see also Elie Tahari and Charlotte Ronson), does it mean that this 90s trend will be adopted come Spring 2012? Only time will tell.

Dresses with Sleeves – Proenza Schouler
No longer does wearing a dress have to mean exposing your arms. Seen on the runways of Vera Wang, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Tam, and many more.

Hooded Sportswear – Victoria Beckham
This sportswear-inspired touch came in so many polished iterations this season, even those who don’t dress down will find appeal in the hoodie come Spring.

Peplums – Marc by Marc Jacobs
