Altius Online: BEAUTIFUL COLOURS

The colourful look for Spring/Summer 2012

Designers focus on colours the most during the launch of Spring/summer 2012.

Fashion week gave us lots to look forward for the following seasons, and it’s never too early to prepare yourself for the coming months.

So bold colours are here if you want to get noticed, and you’re going to love, some of the beautiful bright colours that are about to hit the High Streets this spring. Whether you’re looking at tailored or feminine, just a catchy bit of accessory or the whole outfit, the eye catching hues, neon’s, to citrus, and energizing colours like coral and magenta. And soft pastel hues like lilac and sage and nautical colours like cobalt blue and aqua.

The classic muted, subtle tones like black and white are almost always in style; acid colours are having a huge appeal this spring! Hot to soft colours like tangerine-orange, purples, blues and yellows that we cannot resist! Pair these bright colours with neutral pieces, especially white, to stand out in the crowd but not be too over the top and this spring is no exception and with a bit of determination to get out of the drab winter blues, this could really get you off the pavement and onto the catwalk.

So not only has colour made a huge comeback, but so have wacky and colourful prints. Designers this season really stepped out of the box with fearless combinations of bright colours in bold prints, featured on everything from dresses, coats, swimwear to handbags.

It hasn’t befallen the men’s looks either, bright jackets, and trousers, to shirts and shorts. It’s all about getting noticed and straying away from the drab greys and blacks that seem to dominate the wardrobe.
