Spring Summer Color Trends for 2012
Spring summer 2012 color trends are all about beautiful
pastels and bright sorbet hues. Unlike last season which was all about military
colors and neutral shades, this year we veer towards a more refreshing and
fresh color palette. Here are some of the most popular color trends of spring
summer 2012.
Coral
One of the hottest colors this season is coral. Coral is
just right for summer and there are many fashion designers who have showcased
resort wear and spring summer wear in this beautiful color. The best way to
wear coral is not from head-to-toe but just by adding a dash of this color,
say, in your blouse or scarf. You can pair coral with either a deep tan color
or a light brown. This makes your outfit look more harmonious and polished. If
you are a bit wary of wearing a coral blouse or dress, how about just applying
a coral colored nail paint or lip gloss. This can instantly make you look
polished and ready for summer.
White
A color that is making a splash this year is white. This
color was seen extensively in the spring summer 2012 collection of Givenchy and
Louis Vuitton. From maxi dresses to eyelet dresses, white is the shade that is
the most popular this summer. To make white look spectacular invest in a white
peplum dress with a metallic sheen and pair it with accessories in earthy
shades. You can also wear short ruffled organza blouses in this hue or even
white colored origami mini skirts.
Purple
If you study spring summer 2012 fashion trends, you will
notice that a color that designers are using the most are shades of purple.
Darker shades of purple like heliotrope, aubergine and amethyst are very trendy
right now. The best thing about purple is that it suits a variety of skin tones
and it shows off your summer tan beautifully. You can pair a purple colored
outfit with colors like dull gold, gray and even light orange. You can wear
this beautiful hue not only in your clothes, but also in your accessories. A
quilted amethyst envelope clutch or a pair aubergine pumps can instantly jazz
up even the plainest of all outfits. For makeup, you can use purple eye pencil
and amethyst eye shadow to create smoky eyes. And of course, wearing aubergine
nail paint is the ultimate style statement that you can make this year.
Mint Green
Mint green is another color that has been seen in many
spring/summer collections of major fashion designers and design houses. Icy
mint green is just right for the summers, be it in clothes or makeup. Maxi
dresses and Grecian inspired dresses in mint green looks very elegant and
romantic. You can also wear frilly tops and ruffled blouses in this feminine
color this season. This color looks stunning in fabrics like soft chiffons,
georgettes and any sheer and flowy fabric. If you are wearing something bright
just pair it with a mint green eyeshadow and nail paint.
To complement your fashionable wardrobe you will need to
follow spring/summer 2012 hairstyle trends which is all about big volume and
romantic curls. Keep these color trends in mind when you shop for your wardrobe
and makeup this season.
