Color Your World

Winter is finally over and here’s hoping Spring will be as bright as the colors for this season’s fashion line. Yellows of varying shades (from muted to neon), bright blues, and coral heated up the runways during Fashion week. White and soft gray were also two colors that contrasted well with the more noticeable shades. It’s all about mixing and matching this season. Mix a coral skirt with a purple top and matching shoes, and you are ready to face the day. Choose a certain color as your statement piece- pair a white top with slate grey pants and royal blue high heels. Floral prints made an impact. Some designers used it in small scattered patterns across a shirt, whie others used a bigger floral design on a knee length dress. Honeysuckle pink was the favorite for spring collection and looks beautiful on any woman on screen, regardless of what wireless broadband you are using or the resolution of your monitor.

What’s best about this Spring trend is the colors match any skin tone. No matter if you’re black, white, brown or olive, these powerful hues make a bold statement. Make a point when mixing colors to put the shade that complements you the most nearer to your face. For instance, if you have a light brown complexion, a bright sea blue shirt would look fantastic paired with a more subdued mustard yellow skirt.

The colors this Spring have a very Mediteranean feel to them, part of its appeal as everyone likes dressing in such lively shades. Like the season, they represent vitality and brighter days ahead.

Fashion Trend Colors for Spring and Summer of 2011

Fashion trend colors tend to focus on specific types of color palettes. For this spring the color palettes are said to focus on vibrant colors and pastels that rejuvenate and excite individuals about the clothing. Some clothing and fabric designers see this spring’s colors as a way to uplift consumers through colors and provide an opportunity to uplift the spirit.

Each fabric company will most likely create their own individual color palette, however; the overall colors for the spring fashion trends will have several themes. Most of the colors are bright and energetic although some pastels are still present. Some palettes will still maintain earthy tones and some will mimic the beautiful colors of spring.

However, the actual colors are not the only focus. Some colors are more about the shimmer or shine of the fabric in a particular color rather than just the color itself in any fabric. The colors themselves contain many variations on purples, blues, teals, maroons, pinks, yellows, and some earth tones.

Finally, the spring colors are also influenced by the particular style they will be used with. For example, colors for the loungerie and leather looks are slightly darker than the other color palettes. Moreover, these colors provide a variety of pinks, purples, blues, teals, maroons, and silvers in rich and vibrant colors to make the style they will be used in.

Overall, color trends for this upcoming fashion season will demonstrate the bright, vibrant colors of spring while inspiring excitement and a new outlook on life.
