Spring/Summer 2007 Color Trends

Color is important when it comes to fashion and beauty. This spring and summer, there are some predominant color trends that are popping up everywhere. The good news is, there's something for everyone. Whether you look best in eye-popping brights or classic neutrals, there's a color for you. You'll see these trendy 2007 colors all over the place, from outfits to accessories and even cosmetics. Even one or two pieces in a trendy shade can be all it takes to jazz up your everyday wardrobe.

If you love bright shades, you'll love the resurgence of red. If you think not everyone can wear red, think again. Cool skin tones look fantastic in blue-based reds, while warm skin tones look best in yellow-based reds. A clear neutral red can work for most everyone. If the idea of wearing bright colors like red makes you uncomfortable, try adding small touches of it to an outfit. A pair of crimson heels or a swipe of cherry colored lipstick can be all it takes to glam up a neutral ensemble. Or, try working in a piece or two of jewelry featuring a red gemstone such as ruby or garnet. If red just doesn't work for you, you can try another color trend in the same family -- pink.

Pink can range from bright shades like fuschia to pale hues like carnation. To avoid overload, pair pink with another color. Good colors that go well with pink include shades of gray and even green. You can even wear pink at the office. Try a pink camisole or tank in the hue of your choice underneath a conservative gray suit, paired with pink heels. Pink is also the perfect shade for your nails. Pale skin tones look great in berry brights, while tan skin is perfectly accented by sheer, pale pinks.

When it comes to neutrals, there are lots of choices. One hot trend is the pairing of black and white. This trend gives any ensemble a retro vibe, and lends itself to both sixties and eighties inspired clothing. Brown is also big in 2007. Shades range from creamy ecru to deep, rich chocolate. You can work the neutral look not only with your apparel but accessories and even cosmetics as well. Neutral shades look great on everyone and are flexible. For a sizzling hot look this spring and summer, try shades like copper and bronze. Both of these shades are neutrals with that little something extra!
