Everyone is clamoring for the season’s best colors, and it pays to keep up with the trends. Some colors will always be classic, but if you want to capitalize on the hot 2008 summer colors, now is the time to update your stock.
Blue has been in designer color palettes for quite some time now, so it’s no surprise to see it boldly displayed in summer collections this year. Bright electric blues make exciting statements, but for some customers, cooler pastels and faded blues are a way to safely edge into the trend. Teal and Aqua shades have always been a hallmark of summer, which you can’t afford to overlook.
Purple is another carryover from autumn 2007, though it has recently been updated by thrilling mixtures of hot pinks and fuchsias. Lilac is the natural summer complement to the warm wintery plums and burgundies. Look for cool purples to pair with dark denims and vivid primaries.
Metallic is back, particularly in shimmery gold and bronzed tones. Look for ways to pair a bit of shine with other popular seasonal colors. For instance, these Cable & Gauge split v neck blouses.
