Looking to start the New Year with a new wardrobe? Here’s a look at 2010 fashion trends:

 Animal prints: They’re still big this year. Whether it’s leopard or zebra, animal prints can make a classy statement, but don’t’ overdo it. An animal print pant suit is a big no-no. This cheetah printed dress is a must-have for your spring collection. Try pairing this dress with a bright cardigan and matching shoes to help break up the pattern. Dress, $24.99 at Target; cardigan, $14.99 at Target; flats, $14.99 at Target

 Floral prints: While designer Betsy Johnson helped jump-start the trend, clothes manufacturers are picking up their own versions of floral prints. This mini dress takes you back to the ’80s but in a good way. Pair this with some hot pink ballet flats and some tights and you’re good to go. Dress, $24.50 at Wet Seal; shrug, $19.50 at Wet Seal; leggings, $7.90 at Wet Seal; ballet flats, $19.99 at Target

 Tulle skirts: When we think of tulle, we think wedding dresses or pew bows, but this new fashion trend incorporates this fluffy netted fabric into your daily wardrobe. Pair this pink tulle skirt with a neutral colored blouse and add some ballet flats or ankle boots for the shoes. Tulle skirt, $21.50 at Wet Seal; ruche top with pearl neck, $21.50 at Wet Seal; open-toed booties, $12.99 at Wet Seal

 Asymmetrical dress: While this trend isn’t all that new, Michelle Obama wore her white asymmetrical gown and reinstated the trend. This comfy cotton mini dress is both casual and classy. Add some spiked heels and give your height and self confidence a boost. Dress, $24.50 at Wet Seal; leggings, $7.90 at Wet Seal; spiked heels, $24.99 at Wet Seal

 Abstract prints: Now you can wear your very own Jackson Pollock! New York designers are all over abstract prints.
