Summer can be considered a time for a change of pace, change of appearance and change of scenery. Ideally, your stress levels lessen, the changes are reflected in your visual aspect, state of mind and emotional well-being and you enjoy more time out of doors with nature and under the sun.
This change of season and change of circumstances necessitate a lighter wardrobe.
Which colors are the most ideal for your summer wardrobe?
Today, we will assess popular color choices for summer fashion and explain how you can verify the optimal summer colors for yourself.
What Are Summer Colors?
Summer color trends change yearly. A search result will yield a variety of opinions ranging from yellows to blues to purples.
For example, trend forecaster and color matching tool company Pantone suggests incorporating the following colors, among others, into summer wardrobes, design and décor:
- Orange
- Orange Red
- Coral
- Gold
- Yellow
- Royal Blue
- Moss Green
- Lilac Pink
The challenge with the above approach is that not all individuals wear the colors mentioned.
Orange, Orange/Red, Coral, Gold and Lilac Pink are only worn by a portion of the population.
The colors of yellow, royal blue and moss green are worn by the entire population, although, the bases of the colors must be taken into consideration, as individuals wear each of the above mentioned colors with four different bases; Ash/Blue, Blue, Yellow, Earth Red and two varying temperatures; Cool and Warm.
In addition, people often confuse the temperatures of colors. Makeup artists, stylists, designers and most other industry professionals, categorize blues, greens and purples, as cool colors and reds, yellows and oranges, as warm colors and nothing could be further from the truth.
All colors mentioned above can be both cool or warm, as there are 16.7 million identified colors in the world.
Other trend forecasters recommend wearing pastel colors, such as, lavender or pale blue during spring and summer seasons, however, there is a common misconception regarding pastel colors.
Most individuals think pastels are light hues that are cool in nature. In actuality, pastel colors are defined as powdered pigments and are available in all colors, with the dark hues consisting of pure pigments and others, with varying mixtures of inert whites.
