    S/S 16 WOMEN'S ACCESSORIES COLOR FORECASTS   

by FASHION SNOOPS

The Spring/Summer 2016 Women’s Accessories Color Forecast is here, and Fashion Snoops has identified four key palettes: Soft Nostalgia, Backyard, Desert Bloom, and Heirloom. Soft Nostalgia plays the most important role with a continuation of pastels that became notably more saturated, with blues as an essential take-away. Desert Bloom refreshes the notion of neutrals not only with new base tones, but with enticing fashion colors that offer a new perspective. Backyard addresses the important brights of the season in fully saturated colors. Finally, while jewel tones are not typically associated with Spring, heirlooms remain relevant with both familiar and newly added hues.

We have compiled this information into a special report for Fashion Vignette members, courtesy of Fashion Snoops – where the full reports are available exclusively to subscribers. The full version of the trend report featured here is available now for individual purchase in the Fashion Vignette Trend Shop.




    SOFT NOSTALGIA (PASTELS)    
Soft Nostalgia addresses pastels as one of the most important groups of the season, lead notably by Blue Hydrangea. Pink is also a focus from the peach tinted Rose Champagne to the whitened Ice Pink. Other fashion pastels include the more saturated hues of Lavender mist, Lemon Chiffon and Sea Glass. Neutral bases tones include the fleshy Butt and the soft Dust grey.

BLUE HYDRANGEA


Blue Hydrangea pushes the S/S 15 color of New York Sky forward with a slight dusting of purple, creating a softer hue of blue. ROSE CHAMPAGNE


This warm shade of Rose Champagne combines the previous seasons shades of Blush from S/S 15 and Dusty Rose from F/W 15/16. Creating a slightly more saturated pastel tone.


BONE



Bone continues the popular shade of Ivory from the F/W 15/16 season and the S/S 15 shade of Sand. This season Bone gets a softer yellow cast as opposed to the creamier shades of the previous seasons.


LEMON CHIFFON



Lemon Chiffon evolves from the S/S 15 shade of Custard. This season becomes much softer, putting in the pastel category.

    BACKYARD (BRIGHTS)    
Backyard brights offer a lively conversation anchored by warm and cool hues. Orangey reds play a pivotal role in both Vermilion and Candy Apple, while Canary offers a brightly saturated yellow. Another popular commercial option is Electric Blue, while Periwinkle really brings something new to the table.

DAFFODIL



    DESERT BLOOM (NEUTRALS)    
The Desert Bloom color palette combines earthy neutrals along with emerging fashion colors. Richer bases like Dark Roast and Olive enliven base hues of Hazy Taupe and Soil. Red casted Persimmon, orange casted Copper and yellow Caramel play influential roles. Cooler hues included Moss and Charcoal. 

DARK ROAST



    PERSIMMON



MOSS



    HEIRLOOM (JEWEL TONES)    
Jewel tones remain relevant for Spring/Summer with a new offering of Heirlooms. Red and green continue to play the most significant roles, including familiar shades of dark Burgundy. Green becomes more influenced by blues with Evergreen and Dark Teal colors. While Navy progresses as an influential base color, Indigo offers a new alternative. Grape purple is featured as a new fashion color. 

BURGUNDY


Burgundy continues to be a strong color for S/S 16 evolving from F/W 15/16 Burgundy and S/S 15 Vineyard and Red Dahlia. This season the shade becomes much deeper with reddish undertones.

DARK TEAL


S/S 16 Dark Teal continues the S/S 15 shade of Poseidon. Lightening up for S/S 16, Dark Teal introduces green undertones.
