After dealing with the cold, drab, gloom of winter just about everyone is ready and itching to get back into the swing of things this spring by adding gorgeous, vibrant colors to their lives. And the best part is that color can once again take the spotlight when it comes to your wardrobe, accessories and even makeup! Of course there is a right and wrong way to celebrate spring with colors this season.

If you’re wondering what colors to be on the lookout for this season, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the following shades: yellows, blues, greens, and reds. But not just any shade within these color families will do. From the runways to storefront window displays, the following specific shades are dominating the fashion scene this spring: vibrant lemon yellow, lavender, neutral gray, palace blue (a mix of navy and sky blue), pale pinkish blue, dark green, bright green (but not neon - don’t worry there is a shade that falls in between the two), soft green, salmon rose (a combination of orange and salon pink), and fuchsia.

Not only do these shades work with just about any type of wardrobe, they are also easy to accessorize around. Fashionistas and designers alike also note that this collection of spring “it” colors has the ability to not only draw attention to your threads in a flattering way but they promote a sense of calmness and stability. The soft shades and vibrant (not harsh or glaring) hues achieve this type of “fashion mind control.” While this concept may seem silly, the association between colors and emotions has been long known and practiced not just in marketing and advertising but now fashion as well.

Not only are colors making a quick comeback in the United States - they’re being celebrated all over the world! In Florence, women are sporting beige dresses, dark purple nails and Bordeaux sweaters. In London, they’re embracing orange sweaters, turquoise bags, and midnight blue shoes. Yellow totes and shoes, as well as hot pink nails are all the rage in Bangalore, while metallic purses, white jeans, purples sweaters, and orange dresses are being sported by women in Sao Paulo. Parisian women are in love with their light pink scarves, white sweaters, and red nails and lips. Women in Madrid sparkle with their silver or gold nails, red heels, fuchsia lips, and purple eye shadow, while Tokyo’s women take the spotlight by wearing purple tights, light pink nails, bright blue jeans, and carrying green purses. Buenos Aires women define femininity by sporting soft pink lips, coral dresses, and carrying red purses.

So jump on the color bandwagon this spring and see which shades help definite your personal sense of style this season!
