What time is it? It’s (almost) springtime! While you’re excited about planning your spring break, we are thrilled to tell you what colors people in the fashion world are talking about this spring. Ready to rock the trendy colors this spring? Here comes the rainbow!
The Pantone Fashion Color Report for Spring 2014 is the leading authority that inspires designers and stylists every year with a new color. This year, Pantone has given radiant orchid the title of color of the year. What else can we say? It’s the best combination of pink, purple and fuchsia. Hence, if you’re not the biggest fan of any of those colors, orchid will be the hue to go so you can still stay “on trend.” This doesn’t mean that you’ll have to wear a whole orchid-colored outfit. Try to mix and match this color into your outfit. Even just a hint of it still counts – seriously! Also, it doesn’t just have to be the color of your clothes. Wear it as an eyeshadow, for your shoes or accessories. Want more tips on how to wear this color?

By the end of February, you’re probably ready to give up the black and gray colors of gloomy winter. That doesn’t mean you can’t keep your favorite dark tone. Try dazzling blue! It’s still dark. yet fresh enough for the bright spring. If you try dazzling blue and fall in love with it, also try to mix two other shades of blue in your styles: placid blue and violet tulip. All of these three are the chosen colors of this spring as well. It makes sense, doesn’t it? Blue shade makes you think of the clear, bright sky or brings you to the peaceful, calming beach where you can enjoy the sun bathing that you have been waiting for so long.
Speaking of the beach, we have to mention the sand. Sand and paloma are the two neutral spring colors of this year. If you are ever unsure about what colors to wear, you will be safe with these two neutral shades. Try to pair sand with hemlock or hue green to bring out neutral balance and sophistication.
If you’re still in need of more colors, especially the brighter shades, try Cayenne, a virbrant red, or the bright Freesia. These two tones are sure to bring the sunshine of spring wherever you go. And what if you mix Cayenne and Freesia together? It will become orange, or Celosia Orange to be exact.
Now that you know the trendy colors of the season, try them out yourself and have fun with them! If you need more inspiration of how to wear those colors, check out the Pantone Fashion Report or your favorite fashion and beauty magazines. Happy Spring and Good Luck!
