Fashion Color Coordination Gurus
Declare Yellow Is "It"
for Colors of Spring/Summer

It’s official: Yellow is the IT-iest of the colors for Spring 2010.

Fashion color coordination gurus' words of choice for yellow fever are crocus, taxicab, and aurora.

Yellow is being seen everywhere for spring and in women's summer clothes:

• women's fashion top, shirts, blouses, and sweaters

• women's skirts

• women's dresses

• women's shoes, handbags, belts, and a watch.

  Performance-artist-songtress Lady Gaga was even snapped sporting crayon yellow hair.

  Who Can Wear Yellow?

  Yellow, especially in its most flamboyant incarnations, is not the easiest to wear of the colors of spring.

  If you have a fair complexion with a slightly gold undertone, a yellow dress may be a good addition to your women's summer clothes.

  Perfect for this fashion color coordination are redheads and blonds with tresses the color of wheat-straw, and who also have light green, blue, or gray eyes.

  Yellow Accessories Spark Neutrals

  If you cannot wear yellow close to your face, choose accessories to make this fashion color coordination work for you.

  Wear a scarf in a a flattering color close to your face, if there's a bold yellow dress, blouse or jacket you have to have -- and you don’t have the skin tone for this striking color.

  A belt, handbag, and crocus yellow shoes are especially fine accents for your spring and women's summer clothes wardrobes.

  Bright yellow looks spiffy with dark gray. Fall fashion color coordination predictions name graphite and shades of charcoal as favorites for fall.

  Why Yellow? Why Now?

  Golden yellow emotionally resonates with sunlight. The crocus heralds the new growth of spring, good cheer, and warmth.

  Paraplegia News (2009) reports that yellow aids digestion; yellow stimulates the metabolism.

  Are we draping ourselves in yellow as bright as the background on highway danger signs because life has seemed precarious since 9/11? The structures of our lives literally and metaphorically have crashed and burned.

  Or is this fashion color coordination a symbol of our sunny optimism?

  Whatever you decide, a lightening flash of bright yellow from the colors of spring will add a vivid accent to your wardrobe.
