I wasn’t so sure about ‘Western’ as a fashion trend when I first read about it - never been a big one for cowboy boots or cowboy hats! However if you start thinking pretty prairie-style prints teamed with tan coloured leather and durable denim jeans you’ve got a really wearable look. Don’t forget fab tasselled accessories to complete your outfit. Yee-haw!

So that rounds off our focus on top fashion trends for Spring - and how to get the look in a plus size clothes range at Marisota. We’ve had Safari, Geometric, Metallic, Neutrals, Brights and Western. Which will you be wearing?

Well, the weather certainly doesn’t look like it’s going to cheer up any time soon. So it makes the next big fashion trend for spring a particularly appealing one just now - Brights! The brighter and bolder the better. From fiery red, to sunshine yellow and rich magenta these Marisota plus size clothes are sure to lift any mood - whatever the weather.

It’s impossible to feel neutral over this fashion trend - I love it! Usually I go for big and bold colours but there is something so pretty and feminine about these muted colours, and just perfect for warmer spring days. Don’t forget nude coloured underwear to wear underneath -it’s a much better bet than white lingerie which can show through pale colours.

If you fancy putting a little sparkle in your style then this is the spring fashion trend for you! Metallic and glitter-knit fashion used to be the realm of eveningwear, but this season it’s all about the day-time dazzle, from tops and accessories to wide fitting shoes. You can get lots of gorgeous metallic looks in a plus size fashion range from Marisota - check these out:

The next top trend for spring is GEOMETRIC.

Think bold graphic prints in vivid colours or a classic monochrome colour palette.

It’s hip to be square!

I don’t know about you but I can’t wait for all the snow to offically go away so I can focus on some new looks to freshen up my wardrobe. I’ve been wearing the same old clothes all through the winter and I’m really in the mood for something new.

This feature highlights all of the major fashion trends for Spring ‘09. Obviously catwalk fashion always demonstrates any trend to an extreme degree, but these trends actually look quite easy to achieve on a less dramatic scale. So, I thought I’d take a look at one trend per day and show how easy it can be to get the look in a plus size fashion range from Marisota.

So first up - SAFARI

Think animal print, neutral shades, tribal jewellery and funky sandals… simple!

So what do you think? Time to take a walk on the wild side?
