PANTONE® FASHION COLOR REPORT SPRING 2014

For more than 20 years Pantone has brought season's most important color trends. 

"This season, consumers are looking for a state of thoughtful, emotional and artistic equilibrium," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®."While this need for stability is reflected in the composition of the palette, the inherent versatility of the individual colors allows for experimentation with new looks and color combinations."

All I can say is that I am so in love with this year's palette (even why there is some shopping I have to do). 

 You may say that these are just some fancy names but for a shade lighter or darker than the base color. Fair enough, but keep in mind that when it comes to fashion such details make the difference. 

Placid blue: there is not much to add actually, this is a version of baby blue (this is a warm color and would fit perfectly to some  interior design). There are so many room decorations you can buy, room decorations ..I meant a bag, yes bags come first :D

 Paloma: is such a sophisticated color, it goes well with any other color. Maybe because it is so neutral and interesting in its own.

Sand : I can think of shoes, nothing more. ( I have another post in AUBG street style about nude color, in case you want to check it)

 Hemloc: This is so sweet (not the exact word a fashion blogger would use to describe such a color , but I can not help it, isn't it cute?).   Most probably blonde girls would look better in it , but I will get a cardigan as soon as I can.

Tulip Violet: All the pics I found were related to some weeding dresses/ details. I like it but I think that is too much of a purple, unless you pair it with some black (or another dark color).

Frezie: is named  after the freesia flower. In my opinion this is so hard to match, first option that came across my mind was black and yellow (yep , Wiz Khalifa said it better but I am wondering if he sees me, would he think that I look like e bee?!)

 Cayenne - there is no more red ( at list for the summer we have to keep calling it this way). I know it is hard sometimes to make the difference between the shades, but try to get as close as possible to the Pantone Cayenne sample.

 Orchid Radiant: Pantone declares that  this is the color of the season. Prom is getting closer and closer, and I am thinking to go for this color. ( it's true that it so noticeable but do you think it is more than a 3 months trend? Is it worthy to invest much money on it ? )

Dazzling Blue:  this is another navy, and mos probably you have such a thing in your closet. ( by the way this was the most used color during New York Fashion Week)

Dolls Factory

Celosia Orange:  This is such a springish color. It matches perfectly to the pale skin ( because during summer I think that it would be too much of orange)

 I find it so hard to chose which one I like most...

What about you girls, which is your favorite??

XOXO
