Neon prints and lashings of leather: the top trends not to be missed this spring

With glamorous A-listers filling up the front rows at London Fashion Week, the catwalk can often be overlooked. But this season's bold trends are impossible not to notice.

With designers fusing bright colours and trendy textures, the Spring-Summer collection is hot and ready to trot from the runway straight to the High Street.

Leather is a hit trend this season, be it the classic biker jacket or the sexy mini-skirt. The ultimate emblem of cool, it's being teamed with floral prints and mini-dresses to soften the tough-girl edge.

Designers have gone texture-crazy, teaming silky chiffon with fur, leather and lace.

Women everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief as structured dresses come to the fashion forefront. The rigid shapes flatter all sizes, from curvy to super-slim.

Spring has awakened a love of all things neon. It's time to throw away the pastels and embrace the bold as bright pink, orange and green take centre-stage.

Belts are another must-have for this season. Whether teamed with trousers, skirts or dresses, worn around the waist they make looking fashionable a cinch.

After seasons of dress domination, trousers are finally making a comeback. In a nod to the Seventies, flares are the new skinny. Belted at the waist, the bell-bottoms compliment the fuller figure and also look great on a smaller frame.
