The Bold Colors Everyone Will Be Wearing This Spring
While we can’t deny the ease and effortlessness of the all-black ensemble, life is unequivocally more fun with color splashed in. That’s why we can’t stop pining over the eye-explosive spring color trends that are about to invade our closets.
Hot pinks, golden yellows, rich indigos, and playful mauves—these are the hues that we guarantee will upturn winter frowns into giddy spring smiles, even for the color-shy who shun the idea of the ROYGBIV wardrobe.

Hot Pink
Barely there blush has been the reigning hue for the past year, but this upcoming season is about amplifying girly pink to electric heights. We're talking about almost-fluorescent levels that your throwback Barbie-obsessed self would have loved.

Golden Yellow
Golden yellow is a special hue that's found in between muted mustard and sunny banana. It packs a punch but not so overwhelmingly that you'd shield your eyes, making it an ideal "bright" for spring. On the color spectrum of emotions, golden yellow is what Happiness is.

Indigo
Denim will never go away, which means indigo (and shades thereof) won't fade, either. This spring, bring on all the blues-on-blues love. Whether you prefer to keep things tonal or contrast the light with dark washes, there's no wrong way to pile them on.

Mauve
Purple tends to have a polarizing stance in fashion—we admit it's not the most popular hue. But a more blue-ish approach to this controversial shade begets a palatable mauve, a completely unexpected and exciting color trend to watch out for this spring.

There's a certain toughness to mauve if you style it right. Treat it like you would denim and have the rich shade toughen up a spring maxi.

Mauve truly catches the eye in unexpected ways—blame it on its under-representation in the wardrobe. Here, a simple pair of loafers really takes a basic outfit to another level.
