EVE NECKLACE

Pink. Pink, in its entire monochromatic splendor, has been the leading hue for the last few seasons. This eye-catching tone can be paired with almost anything. For this summer, the trend has been to go in solid pink, or to pair it with something white. Pink is generally viewed as a polarizing color, because of stereotypes and expectations that comes with it. With the correct wardrobe and accessories however, pink has been used to power-dress, and subversively turns misconceptions into an image of strength and confidence.

Yellow. Is it possible to leave out yellow, one of the brightest and evocative colors that comes to mind when talking of summer? Apparently, fashion designers cannot. Carrying over from Spring 2015, yellow can be quite tricky to pull of, as matching the right shade of yellow is all about matching with your skin tone. If you think that yellow just isn’t your color but you’re itching to wear it anyway, use it to highlight a neutral color, such as black; or match it with a more delicate tone, such as blue.

Green. Mostly viewed as a color that’s most suited for Christmas or tie-dyed hippie apparel, green strength becomes apparent when it’s used in muted tones. Match it with a floral ensemble or use it as spots and stripes and the color really comes to its own. At the start of the year, stylists and fashion designers have been trumpeting the virtues of green as being a color “that has no season”, so investing in a wardrobe that features multiple shades of green can really be beneficial somewhere down the road.
