Spring Fashion is All about Colour

Yes, we know it is hard to imagine the warmth of spring in the middle of February, but we’d like to liven up a cold winter day with thoughts of brighter days to come.

To that end, we’ll summarize some of the hot fashion trends for spring, courtesy of Flare.com.

• Colour is everywhere and the brighter, the better. Oranges, reds, and bright pinks are among the most popular shades.

• Along with all of that colour comes some very bold patterns. Colour blocking of unexpected shades is one trend (seen here), as are bold florals and stripes (seen here).

• Comfort is in, as seen in wide-legged pants, relaxed tailoring, and beautifully draped fabrics.

• Contrasting trends are also making an appearance. The seeming opposite of the bold colours and prints described above, some designers showed a minimalist trend for spring, with clean lines and light colours.

• Makeup is also following the trend towards brighter colours, with bright magenta and orange for lips and bold blues, greens, and even yellows for eyes.

Not ready to don an outfit with bold swaths of turquoise and orange or take a chance on magenta lipstick? You are not alone. In our next post, we’ll talk about some of the subtle ways you can incorporate the latest colour trends in your look without going overboard.
