The Colors of Spring Fashion

Spring is officially in full bloom, and so are our fashion options.  Just like the weather seasons, spring fashion is a time where we can depart from the freezing cold hues of subdued gray, earth tones, and blacks, and step into more vibrant colors that enliven our spirits.

And true to form, the runways were ablaze with fiery red, deep cobalt blues, surprising Emerald greens, sunlit yellows, and of course, a few gorgeous pastels.  So whether you're wearing some color from head to toe, with minimal accessories, or incorporating it as a pop statement wardrobe piece, color can really do wonders to add energy not only to your overall look, but your mood as well. One of the reasons why I truly love incorporating color into my wardrobe.

So what are the main hues to take a look at? Well of coarse vibrant red is one of the most popular choices for springtime.  But don't shy away from equally bold hues like yellow, which looks wonderful when worn head to toe, and my personal favorite color of the season, cobalt blue. Cobalt blue can actually work as a statement piece that replaces the little black dress for evenings out.

And let's not forget the beautiful softer side of spring, by wearing some pastels. Lavender is a gorgeous tone for most any skin type, and blush colored tones have also made a huge statement on the runways.

And perhaps the most tried and true color of spring? Mint. We love mint. It works well with other pastel colors, can be punched up with blue tones, even works well with softer reds, and of course some yellows.

And don't be afraid to try and unexpected color like emerald. You don't often see this color incorporated into wardrobe, which makes it a wonderful statement piece when you do.

So what colors are you excited to try for spring? Leave me a comment telling me all about it.
