Spring 2016 Colors and Patterns

Spring 2016 Colors and Patterns 

  

 2016 COLOR 

Now that spring will be here soon it is time to update  our closets with some new bright and vibrant colors.  The 10 spring colors we will find to be very light and airy.  I find them very easy to mix and match. So with that being said we want to wear these colors together and add some prints to them to make them pop as well.  P.S It is still ok to color block. Take these colors and be creative wit how your wear them. 
These colors came from Pantone 2016 spring color palate.

 My Top 5 pick!!!

Of course we will all have our favorites out of the bunch and I have 5 colors that I love, love, love and I will tell you why. 
 
  1. Peach Echo: You can do a lot with this color and it is very easy to mix and match. This color reminds me of a nice spring day sitting under a tree reading a book. (County girl thoughts lol) 
  2. Buttercup: This is another color that you are able to mix and match with. I would say this may be my favorite color to color block with this spring. I would wear this with Fiesta, Iced Coffee, Snorkel blue and Lilac Gray. Now this color reminds me of a nice cold glass of homemade lemonade!!! 
  3. Iced Coffee: This color has a very earthy feel to me and it is very beautiful. Because this color is a nude color make sure you are careful how you wear it. I love this color, it is a very refreshing and light color that I would color block with brighter colors. 
  4. Fiesta: This color is so vibrant and a great color to wear many different prints with. This color makes  me want to dance!! 
  5. Lilac Gray: This color is very subtle and wonderful to me. I love dark colors but this is the perfect dark color for the spring. Because this is a darker color I would do some color block and print to bring it out more. Y'all know this color reminds me of a nice rain storm in the spring!! ⛈

2016 PATTERNS 

 
Ok everyone now to one of the most important things about the spring, prints!!! 
 
It can be easy to stick to what me know and not want to try new things but this spring we are going to go all out there and try new things. Don't let patters scare you ladies, you have to embrace them because they are very important when it comes to fashion. 
Now we want to make sure we are doing these patters justice, for 2016 we still have our flower print with a little twist as well as geometrical patterns. But don't be alarmed strips and polka dots are still in. 

Flower Prints 

I love a print but my favorite print of all time is the iconic flower print. I personally believe you can wear flowers with different prints. For instance a nice black and white striped skirt and a flower print shirt or blazer gives me life every time I see it... Lol...
Their are a lot of different prints for you to choose from when  
A few examples of 2012 Spring Flower prints 
it comes to this print, but I want you to choose what is right for the occasion at hand.  You can have bright and vibrant flowers that make you feel like you are on a island to classy and subtle flowers that make you feel like a queen. 
 
Have fun with this print, make it yours and let your style speak for itself!!!
 
 
Here are some rules when it comes to flowers:
 
  • Wear a color to break up the flower so it's not to over powering
  • Do not mix and match flower prints. 
  •  Match your flower print  to the occasion.
  • Don't forget to incorporate the 2016 spring colors into your pattern selection. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Geometrical Prints

The geo patterns that are in for the spring are just breath taking!!! These prints give a whole new meaning to fashion ( and also my life). This print is a great statement piece, and if you want to turn heads a group print will do it. 
 
Before we go any further there is a few ground rules about this print.   
Example of 2016 Spring Geo prints
  1.  All geo prints do not go together. (If you put them all together you will walk around looking like a clown lol)
  2. Make the best of the print. Wear things that will make the print be the focal point of your outfit. 
  3. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT make this print boring. 
  4. Take it and make it fun, make it your bring out your own style just do over do it. 
 
Now let's talk GEO!!! 
 
It is very important that you have fun with these. There are many different patterns to choose from. You have geo's that are really busy then you have the geo's that are subtle. You can style this pattern in many different ways from pencil skirts that have a hint of the design to Blazers and shirts. 
 
 

Let's bring it all together!!! 

2016 spring fashion is going to come in with a bang and you want to be prepared. There are a lot of great beautiful colors and prints to match this spring. 
 
So the one thing I want you to do is have fun and don't be scared to try something different. Play around with the colors and prints, embrace your inner fashionista!!!!
