Spring Means Bring Out the Colors

Spring is on its way!  Yes, I know, here in the Midwest we haven’t really been seeing much hope for warmer temperatures, but March is here so technically Spring should be showing up soon. 

Bringing in a new season means new trends, new styles, and best of all fewer clothes.   I’m a fan of layering; therefore, I do enjoy the fall/winter season, but it’s time for a change. 

I’m tired of the snow and all the cold weather, and I’m sure everyone else is as well.  Around this time of year we all tend to get excited about the upcoming weather and the opportunity to spruce up that spring wardrobe, so in this issue I’m going to speak on what’s hot this season.

Spring usually involves more sunshine and warmer weather, so typically we think of brighter colors.  This season softer colors are being implemented into trends.  Think of coral pinks, ash blues, and glacier grays.  

All white is another big trend.  We often worry about when to wear all

white, but now the focus is on how you wear it.  Use different textures such as leather or cotton or even layer using multiple textures. 

Olive green is also bleeding into spring as well.  Usually we tend to think of it as a fall color, but getting the color in military style jackets or pants is definitely going to be an attention grabber this season.

The combination of black and white was popular on the runway for this year’s fashion week.  Many designers used it with different prints and designs in their looks.  Another combination that is coming as a shock to most people is white and blue. 

Yes, many runway looks this year consisted of both white and blue together, with a crisp clean spring look.  Yellow is also suggested this season, and although many people don’t think they can pull the color off, people fail to realize that there are many shades of yellow.  

The key is to find one that compliments your skin complexion.
