The Colors of the Runway
March 02, 2010 | 49th Edition

Be on the lookout for a pot of gold, because the rainbow is out in full force this spring! Paint your day with punchy pastels, electric neon, bold earthy tones, and rich shades of sunset. Color has a particular power to evoke emotions, so let’s lift some spirits with spring’s splash of sunshine and optimistic air. We’ve learned to dismiss the ever-looming economic gray cloud, choosing instead to embrace hopeful hues like joyful yellows, energetic corals, good luck greens, and secure and peaceful blues. In this age of smart spending, we crave pieces with irresistible one-of-a-kind appeal that are also versatile and wearable. Vibrant brights boost an ensemble’s excitement, while practical and posh neutrals provide a solid foundation for the more colorfully cautious. This season’s unique and special colors are just the ticket for an instant update and even a little wow!

How to Wear: Color
March 02, 2010 | 49th Edition

For those ready to rock the rainbow, here are a few of our favorite ways to incorporate spring’s hottest hues into your wardrobe.

tonal1. Tonal Delight: If you live by the motto “rules were made to be broken,” this one’s for you! The trick to going tonal is matching like colors that are similar and/or exactly the same. Accent with contrasting accessories - pairing gold or silver pieces with bright colored outfits, and bold or bright accessories with neutral ensembles.

neutral2. Nice and Neutral: If you’re more colorfully cautious, or just prefer the put together posh of neutrals, here’s your chance to take a walk on the wild side! Start with a basic black, all white, or neutral khaki or navy, and add a pop of color with a blouse, tank, or tee. Or use accessories like a scarf, shoes, jewelry or purse to tell your color story.

colorhappy3. Color Happy: Don’t be afraid to try unexpected color combinations. Embrace a carefree spirit when mixing colors - the world is your oyster! Have fun and experiment with prints. Just keep it balanced with simple accessories.

Whatever your color character, take your cue from the rainbow, and carry your color with confidence. All it takes is a few key pieces to transform into a colorfully courageous stylista!



Accessory Queen
March 02, 2010 | 49th Edition

Roses are red, violets are blue, and some of the season’s hottest accessories are sunny and vibrant too! Nothing marries a must-have statement piece with color like a captivating accessory. Classic dressers, this is your chance to get a little out-of-the box style. Cinch your waist with a bright belt, adorn your neck with a stunning scarf, or add the finishing touch with a colorful clutch and scene-stealing shoes! Bold bangles, chunky necklaces, and chains are must-haves this spring and are easy ways to add personal flair.
