Top 10 Summer Color Report

By Grace Owen (Styling Assistant)

One of my favorite things about the changing seasons is the color pallets that change along with them. Every season brings a revival of past tonal love as well as unique additional favorites. Spring/Summer is by far the brightest, liveliest, color report of all year making it a personal favorite. Shuffle clothes in and out of our closet creating new tonal looks that will compliment every summer occasion. Pantone - a popular design and color pioneer - releases annual colors of the year as well as capsule collections and is widely regarded as an agreed foundation amongst industries. Because of their promance and excellent color identification we will use there swatches as a reference point. Today we will be breaking down there summer color trend report and how they parallel with what we have seen on the runway. Hopefully these tones inspire and excite you for the upcoming months. Summer has arrived time to show it what we got!

Ah the classic timeless white. A staple in any wardrobe and a stellar go to option for those hot summer days. This color is breezy, light, and peaceful - all that reflect our inner being this time to year. You can never go wrong with it whether it be a dress, pants, or full white outfit.

Another well know summer staple - the beige. This beige is sublet yet similar to a sandy beach, warm, inviting, and always exactly what you need it to be. I personally love a fully tonal beige outfit with neutral gold accessories but this color also pairs nicely with the array of fellow summer tones you have in your closet.

The warm weather breathes a breath of fresh air and with it vibrant greenery. Whenever people wear green often health and wellness comes to mind, reflect this in your lively spirit with a splash of basil. A stunning and timeless color for the summer season.

Kicking off the specitilty colors is a vibrant yellow. Here comes the sun! Enjoy this fun color in subtle accecents or with bold pieces.

Pretty in pink! This light pink is soft, elegant, and a great go to. Innuendo

Pink part two! With a much bolden ambiance to reflect a playful exciting mood. I’ve seen this color in dresses all over and think it makes a great addition to any closet.

Spun Sugar

Bringing us back to a softer alternative this light blue is ever growing this season in popularity. It’s giving airy, its giving cool, its giving serenity.

Poinciana

This has to be hands down my favorite colors of the season. Red is always a great summer and year round color but this tone takes it to the next level.

Dahlia

This is another one of my favorites - this purple is a standout this season. This shade will add a dynamic element to any of your looks.

Coca Mocha

This deep brown I would argue has recently become more of a summer palette classic within the last few years and this year is no different! This color compliments nearly all of the previous colors insuring the plentiful use of any new mocha addition to your wardrobe.
