This spring and summer, color rules the fashion scene. You will be wearing color from head-to-toe if you want to keep up with the hottiest fashionistas around town.

Black may be slimming, but bright tangerine, sunflower yellow, cobalt blue, chartreuse and bold pink are eye-popping hot looks for all ages. Color, it’s a must have to stay current this season.

Floral fabrics in bright, bold colors are popping up on blouses, skirts, dresses, shoes and accessories. And geometric prints make a bold, fun statement from head-to-toe on just about everything. For the young or the young-at-heart, there is something for everyone.

One of the hottest, trendiest items new this spring, bright-colored pants. Mix or match a print top with a pair of jeggings or jeans in beautiful, bright corals, blues, greens and yellows. The brighter the pants, the more daring and hotter the look.
