Springing into Summer Colours

Why is it so much easier to shed layers than to add them in the fall? maybe it's also about the brighter colours, shorter lengths and possibilities.

"Spring/Summer 2021 underscores our desire for flexible color that works year-round. Infused with a genuine authenticity that continues to be increasingly important, colors for Spring/Summer 2021 combine a level of comfort and relaxation with sparks of energy that encourage and uplift our moods,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

While this fresh pallet will certainly brighten your outlook, and it is easy to imagine your favorite clothing styles in them, what about your swimwear?

Bikinis, tankinis and onepiece suits are easy to wear in these colours, just pick one that suits your skin tone. And while the colours will inspire your confidence, getting the shape that flatters you is also key, but one step at a time.

For warm tones (golden or olive) try orange, yellow, or gold, mix with natural earth tones such as browns, deep tonal reds, and rich shades of green. Hair colour is in the mid-range from dark brown to dark blonde.

Cooler skin tones have a bluish undertone and can range from very fair to very dark, with hair in very dark blue-black or brown to light blonde. Colour recommendations range from pastel blues and pinks, soft yellow, or green to bold looks in charcoal, cool blues, and violet.

Still can't see yourself, maybe you are neutral. Blonde hair with ashy streaks or brown with warmer tones. neutral people look great in neutral colors, so shades that fall in the middle of the color spectrum. That does not equate boring, spice up your wardrobe with light peach, dusty pinks, soft rose, peony pink, placid blue, even jade green.

 As always, fashion is fun, wear what makes you happy.
