The year 2006 has been ushered out, with its trend-followers clad in multicolored polka dots and too-tanned skin.

Everyone sported UGGs that served zero purpose in the recent snowless winter.

Some ladies around campus donned belts around their natural waists, and everyone had their stylists cut side bangs to complement straightener-fried tresses.

Indie guys wore jeans from their 12-year-old sister's closets, and unfortunately, left nothing to the imagination.

The year 2006 was about '80s glam and "almost ugly" sweaters. But let's face it — everyone was dressing the same way their mothers dressed them for the first day of kindergarten.

Fortunately, fashion is no longer trying to re-enact 1987.

As 2007 rages on, so do new trends. And this year, they're all about detail.

Fierce animal prints and fabric-covered bangles are tearing up Diane von Furstenberg's catwalks and even gracing the racks at the local Urban Outfitters. And big hair is back — with a vengeance.

Animal prints

Get wild and replace the polka dots with a bold animal print. However, like a real animal, approach these with caution. Zebra, leopard and tiger prints all look the best when added to a simple outfit as a dashing accessory. These prints are all about complementing an outfit, not overpowering it.

Lots of necklaces

Some things aren't always better in moderation. This season, wearing lots of long necklaces is an easy way to make a simple outfit sexy. However, avoid cheap Mardi Gras beads. It's about elegance, not an '80s Madonna video.

Metallic purses

Last season, we saw metallic purses slowly snuck onto the scene. But this time, it's about having a purse that isn't too overboard in the spray-paint department. Mixing different jewel tones makes a purse outshine a simple leather sack.

Kelly green

Oprah knows what she's doing. The multibillionaire recently made kelly green the official uniform color of students at her Leadership Academy for Girls in Johannesburg, South Africa. The color, also described as "grass green," is easily worn in any amount — be it a bold men's T-shirt or a simple ribbon headband.

Multicolored tennis shoes

Sometimes, the smallest detail can change a whole outfit. Opt for multicolored tennis shoes to jazz up a simple ensemble. An added bonus: They're comfortable, get you where you need to go and still turn heads.

Neutral-colored jeans

Don't call them "blue jeans" anymore. By wearing neutral-colored jeans, the eye is immediately drawn upward, making them a great piece to pair with a daring top.
