The first thing we notice when we look at something - Color !
It's no surprise that for the Spring 2012 season splashes of color will be seen popping up on the streets.
Stylesight and Fashion Snoops have us covered for upcoming color trends.
The colors I'm most looking forward to...
Mineral Shades: A blend of gray, tan and beige tones create warm colors
like nude & oatmeal alongside cool grays like lead.
Bright Pinks: Stylesight predicts that these feminine colors will be creating a surprising combo in menswear. Pink tones include mauve, fuchsia, pale petal, and tickle me pink.
Purples: My personal fave ... Purple.
Brights will be slightly toned down to create cool grapes and lavenders for a feminine feel.
Silver: Ready to disco next Spring?
Silvers, steels and gunmetal will hit the streets in the daytime and nightlife until the break of dawn.
Nudes will have a tint of yellow added to them for a buttery touch.
Red and orange will be added to the pink tones to create a cool Caribbean coral.
Soft mints are going to hit the runway to remind busy shoppers that Spring has sprung!
Purple will turn blue into a soft shade of periwinkle.
But purple can't stray too far from it's roots because grapes will have a strong presence.
Season after season colors change to fit our tastes. Here we can see that light pinks and petal shades of Spring 2011 will quickly turn to magentas and neons for the Fall season and then tone it back down for a refreshing lilac and fuchsia.
The brights purples of this Spring will turn smoky for the Fall season and adapt into light, airy pastel tones.
My closet is full of bright colors.
Ditch the black, gray and dark greens for a touch of color for the upcoming 2011 and 2012 Spring seasons!
After all, April showers bring May flowers
&
we don't want anyone raining on our parade of new shades!
