A "trend report" just received by email - from Janice at TrendCurve:



Which patterns and colors will pass the "cool" test for kids 2 years from now? Here's just a sampling of the answers from our latest 
Keeping Up With Kids (tm) forecast:  

COLOR
- Greens, blues and pinks are at the top of the list.
- Kids' decor color can lag behind that of adults by up to two years, so we recommend just the right mix of 2011 and 2012 hues.   
- Black is a growing neutral.

DESIGN DETAILS
- Ruffles. flounces and a plethora of pockets will return.
- By contrast, there will be more classic patterns and minimalist detailing. 
- Look for a penchant for layering.

PRINTS
- Plaids of all sizes will continue to be strong.
- Mix small-scale florals with checks.
- Mini-argyles will play a supporting role.
