PALE PINK

If last year was the season of Barbie pink, the tides have turned in favor of something lighter. Pale pink ruled the runways, and it’s only natural that we see this color trend hitting stores currently from some of our favorite shoe brands. We love the pastel tone styled with khaki pants or ecru jeans for a modern take.

CHERRY RED

Red is still going strong in our books, but we are gravitating toward super-bright cherry tones for spring rather than the slightly deeper hues of winter. This bold red mixes perfectly with your favorite checked blazers and denim now, while we start to transition our closets toward the warmer months. Wear with white summer dresses come June.

UNBORING BEIGE

You might think this is a cop-out as a color, but hear us out. Think of this putty tone as your new neutral for spring. Forget the black and chocolate-brown footwear of winter, and start mixing this in with all your everyday, ready-to-wear favorites. Major bonus points if you match your shoes to your bag.

BRIGHT GREEN

Maybe we are inspired by the changing nature around us, but a peppy green feels very of-the-moment. This zesty shade is the perfect balance between a fresh, grassy hue and a heritage, retro shade. Mix it with other bold colors if you’re daring or simply a white T-shirt and blue denim for a cool effect.

BABY BLUE

Pastels for spring might be obvious, but this season, baby blue really is making its return. When it comes to styling, forget the full monochrome look. We recommend mixing it in with unexpected pieces like a leopard-print pencil skirt or simple black kick-flares for instant edge.
