Jazz it up with Spring’s Hot New Colors

Spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner. If you haven’t done so yet, it is time to weed out your closet from its winter persona. Throw some colors into your wardrobe to match the vibrancy that hit the Spring 2007 shows. Designers from Gucci to Gaultier were showing collections packed with jewel-tones and soft, feminine pastels.
Neon Candy Colors From DKNY
Michael Kors had candy colors on his girls and DKNY was exploding the style shows with fluorescents and neons. The three top colors on this Springs runways were yellow, purples, and soft pinks and pastels. If you want to try something yellow, think of canary shades, anything that will show happiness or playfulness. Versace was the boldest yellow this year with a ‘60’s retro shift dress in bright canary.
Pink is Making a Comeback this Year
When you are picking purple pieces, think jewel tones, anything that embodies luxury and elegance. Purple really makes a statement against black which will instantly make you feel elegant. Frida Giannini was using deep aubergines for her Gucci collection with her violet colored tiered cocktail dress leaving everyone talking. Galliano at Dior was taking the statement a little softer, with lavender Kimonos and super feminine flowers adorned on skirts. Pink is making a comeback this year, and if you think it is going to make you too frou frou think again.
Feninine Touch With Rosy Blushes
Toss out the bubble gum look and feel free to choose more extreme versions of pink like fuchsia or magenta. Go soft with rosy blushes or flesh tones for a more delicate, sweet, feminine touch. Pink is sexy, romantic, and innocent. Michael Kors proved this in his flowing pink party dresses festooned with cute stain bows, and Proenza Schouler went retro with mini minis with scarlet stripes. Regardless of the look you are going for, be it dramatic or delicate, this year there is a color for you. If you can not afford high-end pieces for your wardrobe this year, adding more affordable pieces with the right colors can make just as bold a fashion statement.
