If you are not sure which colors are trendy this season, here is a quick little fashion tip.
The “color” of the season is an exciting mix of combinations that brighten up the seasonal climate.
According to Regina Martin, global creative director of trends & innovation for HanesBrands, greens, reds and blues are currently painting the apparel landscape, with subtle shifts in color palettes for men, women and children.
For example, winter apparel for men is pairing different shades of green based on olive hues. Deep pine green featuring lilac washes add a soft, feminine touch to women’s garments. Children’s fashion is heavily focused on cargo olive, with rose, pink and purple highlights for girls and splashes of neon reflector green for boys.
