Pantone's Spring/Summer Colors 2016

Pantone is the leading manufacturer of colors, color pallets, and trend reports in the fashion industry. Every season they release a Trend report on what will be "hot" this coming season. Since it seems like the summer weather is here to stay, I decided to share some of the color combinations with you with the hopes of it giving you wardrobe inspiration.

The Pantone Colors of the year are Rose Quartz and Serenity. This is the first year that they have picked two colors. These colors have been seen everywhere so far this season; on the runway, in retailers, even on your favorite web pages.

Add some stronger pastels to these and you have your Spring wardrobe colors!

Summer doesn't have to revolve around pastels. Think brights!

Most of these colors you can mix and match. I would recommend only trying to wear two at a time if you are starting out, but have fun. That is what Summer and fashion is all about. 

Here are some fun color pairings to try:

Look forward to seeing some outfits I have put together with these colors.

Tuesday- Color of the Year 2015

Every year in the Fashion industry Pantone, a color forecaster, debuts it's color of the year. They do this after seeing all the runway collections for the year. Color of the year just represents what Pantone thinks the most used color was or what color is going to be the most requested from consumers. The Pantone color of 2015 is Marsala 18-1438.
