While there’s nothing wrong with neutrals, spring’s combination of warmer weather, longer days, and increased UV exposure tends to shake us out of winter hibernation and inspire us to push the boundaries of our personal style.
This is especially true when it comes to color, an attribute that largely shapes our clothing choices each season.
Winter is more about choosing textures, while summer is about more subdued silhouettes. Spring, on the other hand, floats on the wings of flowers.
As we have already witnessed the spring collections of leading fashion brands, several color trends have stood out from the crowd. While some are exactly what we expect for the warmer days, there are some that surprised us and certainly piqued our interest even more.
Seven colors for spring
Cadmium red
It’s no secret that bright, deep red has been the color of our adoration for quite some time. From shoes, accessories and clothes to lipstick that Marilyn Monroe and Taylor Swift would approve of, the color is popping up everywhere in our everyday outfits. This spring, bright maraschino red (also described as cherry or cardinal red) is holding onto the charts.
Get in on the trend with a bright red top or a pair of shorts or pants. If the color is brighter than your usual style preference, opt for a red headband or a pair of shoes that will add excitement to your outfit. Red sneakers, in particular, have become the desired item of fashion girls all over the world.
Blue powder
Powder blue is one of the main colors for this year. Fresh and feminine, this shade is always associated with childhood and the cute dresses our parents dressed us in for holidays and the first days of school.
Of course, the color is also inspired by the fairy world, especially Cinderella. From lightweight knits to pretty dresses and eye-catching shoes, don’t be afraid to incorporate the hue into every element of your outfit this spring.
While lavender was the go-to color a few years ago, its lighter cousin, lilac, is stepping up this spring. True to the pastel quality that most of us associate with warm days, the shade is great to incorporate into our wardrobe for the sunny seasons. Pair a lilac skirt or pair of trousers with a neutral top for a simple, chic look.
Gray
If you’re a stickler for neutrals, don’t panic—you don’t have to wear bright reds or purples to be on-trend this spring. Although it might not be the first thing that comes to mind for spring, gray is an incredibly chic and easy way to put together a great outfit for the office or a date.
On those days when the weather wonders just what to throw at us, pick up a light gray cardigan or blazer to layer over your favorite top. For an office meeting, you can bet on a light gray blazer that exudes professionalism and can be easily combined with brighter or more extravagant accessories.
Metallic
We probably won’t surprise you when we say that metallic colors won’t go out of style anytime soon. Love for the glossy finish continues to grow this year. While silver is the go-to metallic right now, gold is also appropriate and can add a sense of warmth to your spring ensembles.
Accessories and shoes instantly transform any outfit from boring to eye-catching, and both are an affordable way to jump into the trend if you’re not quite ready to take the plunge.
Bordeaux
This is where things get interesting. This dark, classic shade is more associated with autumn and winter. But this year, designers are changing the game and using deep red for warmer days as well. The reason – burgundy is undeniably timeless and elegant, suitable for both everyday life and professional meetings.
If you don’t know how to incorporate burgundy into your look, the shoes are a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Grab a pair of boots, slippers or sneakers and combine with a matching outfit.
Oil yellow
Butter yellow burst onto the scene as a must-have color this past fall and, perhaps unsurprisingly, is making a notable re-emergence after the recent winter months. As an incredibly soft, understated shade, you can try out the trend by essentially treating the color as a neutral.
Oil yellow trousers pair well with a variety of tops and shoes, and a casual dress in this creamy shade might just be the sunny addition your wardrobe needs after winter.
