The most important and undeniable trend of spring and summer 2018 was the "Ultraviolet" - a bright, mysterious, unearthly, cosmic purple - the real color of the future! According to the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Aizeman, color symbolizes originality, innovation, creative expression.

Ultraviolet will be perfectly combined with both calm and classic colors (lilac, beige, soft pink, coconut, blue), and with bright colors (blue, emerald, orange).

For example, juicy Stella Jean ultraviolet culottes combined with red-orange and white print look great in combination with a Calvin Klein cotton blue shirt, cornflower blue pumps and brown Dries Van Noten leather clutch.

Another shade of lilac, which entered the spring palette, is the vibrant and vibrant "Spring Crocus", it will look great in combination with classic colors, blue, brown shades ...

Another bright shade that is not inferior to the rest for several seasons is red. This spring, PANTONE highlighted the delicious and juicy color of Cherry Tomatoes, as well as the lighter and more saturated - Red with an Orange Tint.

ALTUZARRA two-piece suit with an asymmetric blazer is presented in red with an orange tint. This color goes well with brown, lilac, blue shades, as well as gold and black, as in the presented image.

The yellow "Lark of the meadow" also did not go unnoticed this season - the warm color of the spring sun radiates joy and light. This color will be a great accent in the image in light colors and classic dark and light colors. The most daring can combine it with green and blue shades.

When choosing green shades, pay attention to the colors of Arcadia and Lime Punch - bright, unusual and bold. Perfectly combined with the entire palette of trendy colors of spring and summer 2018 and with calm classic shades.

Continuing to talk about bright and saturated shades, one cannot but mention Boy Blue. It goes well with trendy red, lilac, blue and, of course, all classic colors. This color of the spring sky is suitable not only for boys and can be very feminine, playful, giving confidence and optimism for the whole day.

A Macgraw blue print and bow dress just proves that a “boy blue” may not be for boys at all when paired with white golf, comfortable, stylish thick-heeled sandals and a stylish velvet bag from Jacquemus!

This season, the pink color is not losing ground: the fragile and romantic Pink Lavender and the delicate pink and peach Blooming Dahlia attract and seduce with softness and delicacy.

A more neutral “Barely Lilac" will ideally be paired with fashionable ultraviolet and other lilac shades, some blue, all classic colors, as well as another trendy color of the upcoming season "Emperador".

Delicious and mouth-watering luxurious chocolate will give strength and depth to an already conscious and tastefully selected outfit. It can also act as a separate color and be the basis of the whole image: the image in the dress from Petar Petrov is excellent proof of this.
