According to Marie Claire, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and other major fashion magazines these are the key looks for spring/summer 2009.

Key Colours for 2009

Colour is key again this season and it is fantastic to see such a selection in the shops. Electric, cornflower, cobalt or peacock - blue is this season's trend, which is great - for all of us can wear our own personalised hues from our seasonal palette. A spicy palette of oranges, apricots, corals, ochres and browns are popular this season. Great for those with an autumn seasonal palette and some of the spring corals & reds! A tricky mix to wear but these two are appearing together all over the catwalks this spring. I would suggest wearing with a bright accessory or skirt/jacket to avoid looking washed out.
