It's that time of year again, when we check in with mainstream's fashion "it" colors of the season. And for me, since I haven't been around for most of the month, mainstream fashion in general. For real, what happened while I was gone? Bell bottoms? Puffy off-the-shoulder tit curtains that don't look flattering on anyone?
Pantone spring 2017 featuring Lime Crime
Lapis Blue: This is the mandatory denim color--there's always a denim color in these sets.
Niagara: This gray-blue is my favorite for leather, esp shoes and handbags (like I used above).
Primrose Yellow: This wearable yellow looks a little autumn to me, but I'm seeing it in a lot of floral patterns like the one above. Also in a lot of other prints.
Pale Dogwood: the color of the flowering tree that kind of stinks but looks beautiful in the spring! This, along with hazelnut and island paradise (and all the ruffles all over the place) remind me of antique and lolita styles.
victorian/lolita featuring a long-sleeve shirt
Island Paradise: This pastel turquoise that looks nice in lace, great for Victorian-inspired or lolita looks.
Hazelnut: When used with florals, like the above skirt, or patterns, it reminds me of faded wallpaper, and therefore antique things. Does anyone still dress Victorian or is that too out-of-date? I had for a little bit--younger me would be happy with all the ruffly high-collars and lace that's all over the place these days.
Flame: An accent color, though I have seen a number of people dying their hair in this red-orange. I happen to like orange for lipstick too.
Kale: What I eat for lunch these days! Whatever, it's the only leafy green that's actually filling. I'm seeing a lot of military-inspired looks all over the place, which I'm not really cool with anymore due to the political situation here (even though I love all the pockets in military-inspired looks). I do see this olivedrab green in vintage-inspired looks here and there...
Greenery: the color of the year! It's a bright bold green that I'm interpreting as a neon green in the below set, what with 00s styles coming back and all. Couldn't resist adding the zipper pants in the below set, though hilariously out-of-date...for now
Pink Yarrow: I'm interpreting this as hot pink. Hot pink and neon green were my cybergoth colors way back when.
What are your favorite colors in the set? How would you wear them?
