The only thing constant in the fashion industry is change. Just as the trends for animal prints and funky punk wigs are not here forever, color trends in fashion are also short-lived. To stay fashionable, here are some hot color trends for spring-summer 2012 that should soon find place in your wardrobe:

1. Soft caramel colors: Prefer light shades of pink, cream or coral colors in your wardrobe especially for the spring. Team them up with brighter shades to get the most sought after look of this season.
2. Orange: You can never go wrong with this color in spring season. You have the option of going completely orange or if that is too bold for you, try to get some Dresses that come with orange as a base color or print.
3. White: This is one color that can give you a complete feminine look. Prefer a white laced blouse or shirt and wear it with some bright colored skirt. Even a white pleated skirt is a great turn on this spring season. Or just imagine yourself in the white asymmetrical skirt with a pastel shade top.
4. Black: This color never goes out of the fashion scene. A little black dress is perfect to the night out with friends and a black suit can never go wrong for office meetings.
5. Fuchsia: If you are looking out for a perfect color for dinner party then prefer fuchsia color. It is an ideal pick as it is neither too vibrant like orange or yellow, nor too soft like caramel colors. This can give you an ultra glamorous look and bring you all the compliments galore.
6. Yellow: Yellow and all its shades seem to rule the fashion scene this season. Yellow blouses to skirts to even printed-dresses are seen in all fashion houses and designer stores.
7. Nude: The sheer simplicity and versatility of this color make it an instant hit among the fashion lovers. Soft enough to be worn to formal meetings and vibrant enough to be worn informally also.
8. Red: A red dress can never go wrong, whatever be the occasion. Bright red has the potential to make even a grim situation appear bright. Complement your red dress with good makeup to accentuate your spell binding effect.

It is important to choose your wardrobe in trendy colors as wrong color selection can make even a good outfit go wrong for no fault.
