Spring Colors 2013

Spring is here, and not soon enough for some people across the country.  Just as the trees bloom and change color, so do the colors for spring every year.  This year the colors are returning to tradition and primary with a classic appeal. Which color do you feel you look best in?

Blue:  Different shades of blue will be front and center this spring, for a softer more classy spring is upon us.  Go for the dark bold blues such as navy blue to make a statement, and if you want something more subtle, then the lighter shades are for you.  Light blue is great for dress shirts this spring and darker blue ties to accent.  Stripes or checks are a great way to break up the color if it appears too dominant.  Blue took a back seat for a while, but is in full force this year so as they say, Go Blue!

Red.  This year it will be bright red and slightly lighter shades when summer sun sets much later in the afternoon.  Red is a statement color, when you wear this, you mean business and is a great way to catch someone’s attention.  Keep this color for shirts and accessories such as a tie for that special presentation or a scarf on those colder mornings. 

Tan/Camel/Wheat.  With Camel being the darker and wheat the lighter, these shades are a perfect pair for blue and red.  They bring both those colors out and have a subtle presence of class and distinction.  Perfect for spring and summer suits, linen or cotton, and nice compliment for a jacket, or accessory.  This color will last well into the summer months. 

Grey.  This color you will not see anyone talk about or rarely mention, but is great for transitioning from the winter to the spring and works well into the summer.  Its one of the classiest colors that pairs extremely well with all shades of blue and red.  This would be great with pants, or a sports coat or light jacket.  If you happen to have darker blue jeans, slacks or linen pants, by all means a nice grey shirt is perfect.  What also goes with a nice shirt and tie, a light grey suit.
