Spring-summer 2013 fashion: color trends

Summer 2013 looks pretty shy in terms of colors. Even if we spot some punchy colors like red and yellow that seem unavoidable, we can see that black, white and nude remain predominant. The pastel colors (flagship trend of the summer of 2012) persist on all the podiums of the summer of 2013. They are worn most often in a united way, it is better to avoid this season the mixture of several pastel colors in the same outfit. The sand color will be inevitable with the return of the safari trend and klein blue, the star of the 2012-2013 winter, will last next summer. The most surprising, however, is the preponderance of the total black look in many collections. Zoom on our selection of trendy colors for spring-summer 2013!

Black
Black was present on almost all spring-summer 2013 shows, we are surprised at the choice of this dark color for the summer. The black and the sun do not often mix well! We therefore allow the wearing of this color in the evening only. The total black look remains the most elegant, even on summer evenings. We avoid too much accessorize so as to let him the limelight.

The White
In total contradiction with the trend "black", white looks will be very popular next summer. Unsurprisingly, white has always been one of the colors not to be missed in many summer collections. It has the advantage of enhancing the sunny complexions and above all, the total white look brings a wind of incomparable freshness. We allow it during the day and evening!

Nude / powdery
This delicate trend brings a wind of softness to our summer wardrobe. Very girly, this seductive trend is very easy to wear. However, we avoid associating it with bright colors, at the risk of losing the soft effect it brings to our look. We like it on fluid and light materials.

Pastel colors
These light colors persist for two seasons already. The summer 2013 is the star of our look, because we opt for a pastel color united for all of our outfit. Mixtures of several pastels are avoided.

Yellow
This color comes in all these shades, from pastel yellow to flashy yellow, all shades pass. We love this acidic color for the vitamin touch it brings to our look and our complexion. But we prefer it all the same on tanned skin.

The Red
This color is the sexiest of summer 2013, it brings a glamorous touch to all our looks. On a tailor or on a vaporous dress, the red is grafted to all parts of our dressing. If we put on this color not to go unnoticed next summer, we must be careful not to force too much in terms of accessories and make-up so as not to overdo it!

Klein blue
This color is, a priori, more easily winter, it will however be unavoidable next summer. It is not a color easy to wear, it is best not to overload our look if we opt for a total klein blue look.

Shortbread / beige
The summer 2013 announces the return of the safari trend, the latter is essentially composed of total sand-colored look. Like a true adventurer, we wear this easy-to-wear color to walk the Paris macadam for a shopping session early next spring!
