I can tell you the peasant thing is not done... I will be writing an article regarding spring trends based on spring collections and other sources of information for the March issue, but I have not finished my research, so I don't want to be conclusive yet...
I think you are right with your prediction of long shorts and gauchos though...

I feel like the nautical look is going to be big. There's a LOT of navy/white/red/green out there right now. I love this look, but it's tough to pull off without being "costumey."
As far as the peasant look goes, I think it's still there, but I feel like it's a little more refined than it was last spring/summer. Just a little sleeker.
I also think the bubble skirt is going to be more popular. I think that look came out for fall/winter, but I think it's just starting to catch on now.

actually this thread is a good idea - I'll definitely consider everyone's opinions in my research for the article... so keep posting replies

I think the nautical look kind of combined with super wealthy old money people on "holiday" look will be hot. Maybe just cause that's how I want to dress.
I think it really depends on which coast. While I am more into the sleek, sophisticated style more present on the east coast, in Southern California comfort and brighter colors always seem to reign. There are tons of older women who have been sporting the "peasant" look for years and will still continue to sport them. I am looking forward to skinny jeans/pants, everyday dresses, and higher waists.

word. i think those are spot-on. i tend to think trends just repeat themselves over and over again each season, but gradually silhouettes change over the seasons. I think higher waist pants and skinny jeans have been coming back the past year or so because we haven't had those in a long time and they look fresh. i love nautical, but i cant think of a single season in my recent memory when that wasn't a spring "trend". i think many trends are just classics that evolve slightly each season.
I think boho is dead, and beatnik/mod is in. Think stripes, black skinny jeans, leggings, etc. I find that if you check out European streetstyle, you can see what's going to be big in North America. (Was totally true with boho)

I'm seeing lots of white. And dressed. And white dresses. I'm really excited for daytime dresses and agree with Maddie on the wealthy people on holiday look. Yay- I can't wait for spring!
