I'm seeing a lot of designers leaning toward neutral earthtones as a backdrop with pops of bold primary colors (shoes, jewelry, belts, even makeup). This works great for me as a MUA.

I am partial to lime green this season. But I do see a lot of earth tones as well.

I just wanted to take a moment to complain about the fact that so many people think the military look is the new look.  We wouldn't have ties if it weren't for the military.  The military has always had a strong influence on the fashion world from as far back as the Crimean war.  The military has always made a concious effort to project power through clothing, rather than just trying to grab onto the next big thing.  The purity (as in non-comercial) of their motives is what makes for great clothes.  They use both color and fit to project strength. 
Its really too bad that the changing nature of warfare rendered bright red coats obsolete in favor of camo.

I'm noticing that 2006 spring designer lines are full of earthy tones, but lots of femininity..

Just got this from www.vogue.com

Dresses:

The dress reigns supreme in silhouettes that veer from sleek shirt styles and chic shifts to delicate babydolls
It comes in every shape imaginable this season from strapless tulips to shirt waisters

COATS
Pick a classic trench as your summer staple
Experiment with the new duster style and Sixties shapes for evening

PLEATS
Find your favourite, from head-to-toe sunray to plissé panels
The answer to grown-up luxe?

NUDES
Softly does it in flushed shades of cream, rose, blush and buff
Nudity rules for summer

SHORTS
Shorts are now smart citywear
Choose tailored styles in any length

WHITE
Lighten up in fresh white suiting or embrace the romantic mood in the prettiest of dresses
At last something to replace all that wintery black

DRAPING
Evoke classical elegance in softly draped and folded goddess gowns
There's an ethereal mood coming on

CHECKS
Winter's plaids evolve into sweet summery ginghams and madras checks
Cheerful, childish and lighter than winter's tweed

DAZZLE
Introducing the new sparkle
Radiate glamour in white gold, moonbeam silver and sequin-laden shimmer

UTILITY
Take your inspiration from workwear
Tough it in dungarees, pinafores, belts and braces

BANDSTAND
Spring marches in, brings bold stripes and majorette details
Stick to an American-classic palette of red, white and blue

   
RUFFLE & PUFF
Cascades of ruffles, puffed shoulders and voluminous airy shapes
This is statement dressing to swoon over

   
WHITE SHIRT
From sexy dress shirts to pretty smocked styles, this classic piece comes in many delightful guises
Forever a style staple


TUXEDO
Channel Marlene in easy mannish cuts or go Latin in matador styles
It's a can't-go-wrong classic


LACE AND CROCHET
Laser cutouts, crafty crochet and intricate lace
Fancy dressing in all in the detail

TROUSERS
This wardrobe staple gets a style update
    Wear yours luxe and loose, sailor smart or rock-star skinny

COLLEGE GIRL
Go for campus cool in prim tennis dresses, preppy polo tops and pleat-front khakis
    School days are the best days

SWIMWEAR
Turn heads in graphic black and white with plunging necks
    Fifties cuts are key


COLOUR
Spring dazzles in a rainbow palette of blazing hues
    Ochre, amethyst, cobalt and crimson

ACCESSORIES
Bags are outsized or detail-heavy, sunglasses are bold and bug-eyed, wide belts cinch the waist and shoes play to colourful, quirky extremes
    Statement accessories grab the limelight this season
