Why You Should Care about the Color of the Year

If you like incorporating trends into your wardrobe without buying ‘trendy’ items, then using the color of the year is a great way to do this. Shop your closet and use pieces you already have. Or, buy intentionally and selectively to anticipate the trend and dress with modern, contemporary style. Once you start following the Color of the Year announcements, you’ll notice how these colors pop up everywhere, all year long: in clothing, accessories, home goods and interior design.

 I absolutely love that message and how much thought goes into choosing the color(s).

I also think many women shy away from wearing yellow. I’d love to show you how you can wear this cheerful-yet-elegant color.

Remember that tones and shades matter the most when choosing to wear the color—especially near your face.

A lemon-ice shade of yellow has tons of white in it—if you prefer more saturated colors, then choose a goldenrod or mustard yellow.

How to know which is best for you? Here’s a quick cheatsheet:

  • blue, grey or green eyes

  • fair or pale skin

  • natural blonde or light brown hair

  • lighter, less saturated shades of yellow will work on you

  • brown or hazel eyes

  • dark, olive or golden skin

  • black, dark brown or auburn hair

  • deeper, more saturated shades of yellow will work on you

Still not sure about wearing yellow? Then choose different shades for accessories—most notably, handbags. Think of a goldenrod purse as your neutral bag. Wear it with everything, whether it ‘matches’ or not. Here are some beautiful golden/grey accessories combos that will work with everything from sweatpants to jeans to leggings.
