Sweet Treats

Everyone is playing “Candy Crush” and it is no wonder that the sugary pastels in this theme are
finding their way into the fashion scene. Candy, cupcake, ice-cream and icing inspired pastels
work into mid-tone brights and pastels. We see lots of traditional pinks, greens and levels of
the same color together in a palette. Whites are key this season from bright whites to creamy
whites; they look fresh and new when teamed with these sugary pastels.

In this trend, we see palettes that bring to mind rich primary colors used in Guatemalan, Honduran, Mexican, etc.
Native textiles. The colors are rich in hue and bring an excitement to this story. These vibrant shades also remind
us of traditional performance sport colors: red, yellow, blue and green. Adding white and/or black brings energy
and contrast to this palette to create an athletic look.

This Spring/Summer we are focusing on simple, clean colors and fabrics. Palettes emphasize neutrals ranging
from taupe, khaki, bright and/or creamy white which are then combined with traditional navy, black or green.
Together, these colors create an updated maritime look, a country club, varsity or collegiate story.

During Spring/Summer we take on a vacation state of mind, thinking about sun filled times and days spent at the
beach. Colors in this trend are sun bleached and /or water washed. There is an abundance of nature inspired
sandy khakis, driftwood greys, sage & dune grass greens, indigo blues, salmon, coral, sunkist yellow and creamy white
that create a nostalgic seaside palette.
