Pantone Color Trends for 2014

 

Pantone celebrates 2014 with “A Season of Colorful Equilibrium.” Soft, dreamy pastel shades are paired with bold, vibrant hues to create a fashion color palette that comes on strong yet subtle. Leading the pack of colors for 2014 is Dazzling Blue – a truly inspired choice.

 

Evoking class and elegance, Dazzling Blue is a color that lives up to its name. It’s a color that is easy to play around with yet bold enough to stand on its own. It is also a color that most people probably already have in their closets, which makes it easier than ever to remain trendy this season.  

 

Sand is also a great color choice for any outfit. Described as lightly toasted and neutral, this Pantone color is reminiscent of the beach and pairs well with any other color for 2014. For those warm days of spring, dress up a light linen dress with a Dazzling Blue, Cayenne or Hemlock statement necklace and classic pearl earrings, blazing yellow bangles or a sterling silver monogrammed bracelet.

 

 

If your style is more subtle and understated, coordinate a pair of Dazzling Blue teardrop earrings with a Cayenne channel bracelet and a black or neutral colored dress to make the accessories really pop without feeling too overwhelming.

 

For a bolder style, invest in a white textured blazer (one of the must-have items for 2014) and accessorize it with a Placid Blue and Hemlock Green Rachelle Bracelet and toggle statement necklace in Celosia Orange and white.

 

 

The Pantone theme of 2014 is definitely centered around natural versatility. All of the colors are commonly found in nature and can be easily be combined with any other hue in the spectrum. All the different hues on the Pantone palette allow for unique, effortless styles that suit your mood and complement your best assets no matter what the occasion.

 

This is definitely one trend that you don't want to miss out on, so start shopping now so you can be ahead of the curve when next year's fashion week hits!
