From '70s-inspired pieces to eye-popping colors, the spring runways delivered 2011 fashion trends that we just can't wait to play around with.
But before we start buying up big and overhauling our outfits, it's time to admit that sometimes we get sucked into the fashion hype and wear things that we look back at with horror a few years down the track (capri pants, anyone?).
Her is a round up of the five most divisive trends, from headscarves to pajama pants, and need your help hashing it out:
