How to Amp Up Your Style with Current Fashion Color Trends

Whether you love to wear lots of color or if you just like to incorporate a few accents of it, there are many ways you can amp up your style with current fashion color trends. I first want to discuss what the color trends are for Spring 2011 and then show you how to wear them. A great website to reference color trends for a specific season is www.pantone.com. Pantone states that for Spring 2011, the inspiration was exotic destinations such as Africa, India, Peru and Turkey. Pantone mentions ten different colors that are going to be popular in the spring; here are four of them. 


The first popular color is called Honeysuckle. It is a vibrant pinkish-red color that is perfect feel-good hue. Alessandra Ambrosio chose a Honeysuckle colored scarf to amp up her outfit. Another color that is going to be popular is Blue Curacao. This color definitely makes you think of tropical destinations. Victoria Beckham is wearing a Blue Curacao handbag in the image below. It definitely brightens up her all black outfit. An additional color that will be dominant in spring is Peapod. This yellow-green adds an organic element to the palette. This color is perfect to wear on your nails. The last color that I am going to talk about is Russet. This nude hue is a perfect dependable background color. If you are someone who is not afraid of color, then the first three are perfect for you. Amp up your style for spring by wearing a honeysuckle or blue curacao colored dress. Don’t be afraid to go all out with these fabulous colors. 


If you are someone that likes to stick to neutrals and add pops of color, then I have just the tips for you. One way to try any new color that you aren’t sure about or don’t quite want to invest in just yet, is to wear it as nail polish. Painting your nails is the cheapest and easiest way to amp up your style with color. Another way to incorporate accents of color is to wear an outfit with neutrals, such as russet, and wear bright colored accessories. Try a peapod colored scarf or a blue curacao colored handbag to add great new colors to any outfit. Also, don’t be scared to try jewelry in any of these fabulous colors. Now with these simple, new tips, you can amp up your style with current fashion color trends just in time for spring :-)
