The Craze: A Pop of Bold Color


The Craze is a trend report bringing you the latest (and, duh, the greatest) in beauty and style.


In the spring 2011 collections we saw the rebirth of color. Even though nudes and neutrals still remain to be in the fashion forefront, bold hues are making a bold statement in spring.


You don’t have to wait until weather starts warming up to add them to your fashion wardrobe. Amid the heavy layering and structural cuts, bold colors are popping up for the fall 2011 leading collections.


Get ahead of the game and start mixing colors whether it’s greens, turquoises, fuchsias, oranges or vibrant reds; there is a color for you that will guarantee stares of jealousy.

Here are some style tips for going bold:

- If you’re wary about going too bold with the colors, wear two colors of the same family. For example a light lavender and magenta.


- Use accessories to add bright accents to your wardrobe like a scarf or necklace. Even colored heels are good for making your outfit stand out.


- Don’t forget colored skinnies! They are making their way back into the fashion circuit.


Color is a great mood booster. It’s a sure way to lighten up your spirits and complexion. Make sure you find a color that looks best on you and, most importantly, have fun mixing these vibrant colors!
