What Fashion Trends are our readers predicting for Spring and Summer 2012?

 

We had great success with our recent Facebook competition looking for your thoughts and opinions on what the big trends for Spring & Summer 2012 will be. We were so impressed with all of the entries we thought we’d share them on our blog. So what are our blog readers and Facebook fans predictions for this season?

1. Prints: You were virtually all in agreement that prints and vibrant patterns will be everywhere this spring. You name it - geometric prints, retro floral prints, lace prints and tribal touches. This season will also see brightly coloured jeans and printed jeans. Nelo’s advice for the more conservative fashionista among you is to pair a printed tailored blazer with just a simple black top and some pants. But we know that some of you will embrace the trend that was the story on the runways and are really looking forward to dressing your bumps in “vibrant, swirling, head to toe patterns.” Do and you know you're guaranteed to turn heads!  
2. A riot of colour: This season you are predicting both saturated sorbets and bold, vivid colours. Vibrant greens, reds and yellows. You are tipping bold block colours to come back again. The trend in pastels and sorbets will particularly extend to nail polishes, see below. However, timeless black and white fashions will also endure. 
3. What else? You are predicting that vintage styling, such as the Mad-Men look, will dominate while others are tipping a Nautical trend, of red white and blue. You’ve also told us that stripes will remain on trend, and when worn with jeans and a blazer will complete the look!  Accessories will be key, brooches, belts, and the pastel nail polishes mentioned above.  We thoroughly agree with the following reader who said “It all has to be topped off by Choice and value.”

Congratulations to our competition winner Pamela, and we’ll leave the closing words to Aileen who suggests you should go for “soft feminine dresses and blouses with lots of draping in bright colours. Match these with tailored jackets and fitted cardigans in neutral colours and you're good to go!”

How to dress to impress this festive season!

The party season can be challenging when you’re pregnant, not only can the energy levels be quite low when put to battle with the crowds, but also knowing that you’re not going to have that festive tipple can put a different slant on things, not to mention what maternity clothes can you WEAR??? 

Here’s what we advise at NELO Maternity:

- Have at least one black dress... 
- One dressy top and
- A good pair of jeans that you can pull out at a moment’s notice!   

Once you have these great maternity wear staples then it all comes down to accessories – dress up with heels and dress down with flats. There is some fabulous costume jewellery out at the moment that will add sparkle to any outfit....

So what are you wearing this festive season?

We just love a satisfied customer at Nelo!!!

We were delighted to get a lovely note the other day from Irish model Sarah McGovern, here she is looking stunning in one of our Winter Jackets!

We were delighted to have Sarah model our Autumn/winter range which has been a great success!  Thanks for such positive feedback Sarah!

"While I was pregnant, Nelo Maternity was always my first choice for maternity clothes.

During your pregnancy, you don’t want to have to spend too much on clothes and Nelo have amazing and affordable pieces. From daywear leggings and jeans to dresses for events – not only are they affordable, they are comfortable (which is exactly what you need!).

I was even able to wear one of the dresses post pregnancy! I’ll let you guess which one!!!

All my pregnancy pieces from the store were such great quality that they are packed away and ready to wear for the next time!!"
