Color Trends For Summer 2023.

 Last time we looked at makeup trends for summer of 2023 so we'd know the current makeup trends.  Today, we'll look at the color trends for clothing so you know what is what.  Yes, they do change colors regularly but you don't have to go change out your whole wardrobe.  You can do a few pieces or a few accessories. 

Let's start with the beautiful ocean blue shade.  Blues are always good for the summer because this color reminds people of the waves in the ocean, the color of the lake, or even the beautiful blue of the sky on a bright, clear day.  Blue is a great color to wear to any summer event.

Next is pink like in the movies "Barbie" or " Legally Blonde".  There is no specific shade of pink, just any pink you feel like wearing and that looks great on you.  Enjoy a bright pink, a pastel pink, or any pink that you like.  When you wear pink, you are making a statement, one that says "This is who I am."

As far as wearing it, you can make the whole outfit in pink, or if you aren't into having a totally pink outfit, think about wearing one piece or an accessory such as your purse.  If you want to wear pink as a touch, pair it with earth tones such as beige or nutmeg.

For those who prefer a more reserved color, look at a shade called oat milk.  For those of us who don't always know the new color names, oat milk is more of an off white heading towards the tans and is a neutral color.  There is a new trend of making considered purchases so they look for colors with practicality versatility, and long term appeal. When people search the internet, beige is one of the most popular colors being looked up.

Another popular color is red.  It is quite popular and will be one color you can wear through the summer into the fall. It is considered one of those timeless accent colors and it has a strong emotional appeal for people. Red is sensuous and is perfect for that outfit you want to make a statement when going to events.

Then there is lilac if you want a purplish color. Although lilac is a pastel shade, it is both intense and feminine and a popular color for several designers. Lilac is considered a dreamy shade that is ideal for summer because it is full of hope and positivity.  It makes the wearer feel optimistic. 

Of course, lime green is quite popular the summer for special occasion dresses, cargo pants, jewelry, or in accessories like purses, shoes, and ready-to-wear outfits.  Match the lime green up with the oat milk since. both look awesome together. Lime green is even an acceptable color to wear to weddings this season. 

Finally, we have a beautiful metallic silver.  Although most people think metallic silver should only be worn for fancy or evening events but this color can be worn as a metallic silver skirt with a plain white t-shirt or a button down dress shirt to make the outfit day appropriate.

Have fun mixing and matching colors for that perfect look.  You have lots of choices and remember you don't have to redo your whole wardrobe.  You can just change out a few accessories for a new look.  Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear.  Have a great day.
