Seeking inspiration from the 60s and 70s, 2011 spring fashion for women is all about embracing the glamour, charm and beauty of yesteryears. Therefore, if you are wondering what's hip and cool and what are the absolute no-nos for spring 2011, look no further.

Motorcycle Jacket

Yes, the suave and stylish military fashion ruled for almost a decade; however, for spring 2011, the chic "biker look" has slowly made its way to the fashion vista. Women will see plenty of statement motorcycle jackets, pants and boots.

Women can get an edgy spring look in this fitted leather Michael Kors studded leather motorcycle jacket available at Nordstrom.com that comes with slit cuffs, asymmetrical zip closure and angled zip pockets. However, for a complete spring 2011 look - opt for quilted and colored leather biker jackets with aesthetic zipped sleeves. Check out the new Burberry Heritage Biker collection for inspiration.

Trench Dress

A confluence of trench coats and dresses will be prominent for the spring 2011 fashion scene. Elegant and stylish, the trench dresses are perfect dress options for your spring wardrobe. Get the best-of-both-world look in this Burberry short-sleeved trench dress sold at Bloomingdales.com The double-breasted front, spread collars, two-button detail and flap pockets exemplifies the stylish 2011-spring look. Forego the tights if you want, the trench dress looks perfect with bare legs for a balmy spring day.

Lace Dress

The quaint Victorian fashion of lace has evolved, and for spring 2011 lace finds a distinct individuality. According to the fashion experts at Fashionising.com, for spring 2011, "it's now less about the stretch, allover lace, and more about antique-style lace...Generally, go for a wider net, a more unique pattern, a sturdier fabric - rather than a thin stretch lace." This magenta scalloped lace dress available at NeimarMarcus.com is layered with stretch black underlay, and comes with a deep surplice neckline in the front and at the back. You may want to consider "Gretchen" floral lace dress by Cynthia Steffe in blush. Boatneck, cap sleeves and buttoned epaulets give a sophisticated and sweet look.

High-Waisted Flared Jeans

Inspired by the 70s, the high-waisted flare jeans are a welcoming change for many who never preferred the low-rise jeans (including myself). Pair the bell-bottom jeans of yesteryears with wedge or platform heels. Check out this flared bell bottom in dark vintage wash by JBrand that accentuates and compliments your feminine form. Tuck your shirt inside for a totally rocking spring 2011 look.
