2012 Spring New York Fashion Week

Spring is here, and if you're feeling uninspired with your daily beauty routine, look to the runway for inspiration. The 11 styles featured here are so versatile, you'll be wearing them well into Summer and beyond.

As NYFW begins to wind down, we're taking a moment to take it all in. Currently on our radar, we're looking to this week's sexiest styles straight off the Spring 2012 runways. Of course, every designer does sexy just a little differently — from Hervé Léger's figure-flaunting, cutout creations to Monique Lhuillier's color-blasted sexy styles and J. Mendel's sultry evening gowns, we were treated to a range of the most flirtatious, glamorous styles. For those who crave less obvious plays on sexy, Theyskens' Theory showed how to spice up your look with sheer toppers, and Alexander Wang offered a sportier take. In short, there's some kind of sexy for everyone here. Click through to see 38 ways to get sexy for Spring 2012.

Ponytails have forever been a basic, go-to hairstyle, and at this year's Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week, stylists have proven the look doesn't have to be boring. In fact, we saw so many impressive, creative versions of ponytails this past week, we have no doubt it will be one of the hottest looks next year. Which will you be wearing?
