Spring 2014 color trends.

  

Colour transforms and creates, shifting our ideas and changing our moods. Looking ahead to the spring / summer 2014 fashion season, we're in for colour trends that take in earthy, sun-baked hues, cool, calm blues, and boldly clashing kaleidoscopes of colour. Read on for the full report

 

Colour transforms. It defines. It impacts our mood and changes the way we feel. That’s why each season’s colour trends are as influential and important as the broader fashion trends that sweep in on the change in weather.

Spring / summer 2014 brings a colour palette that’s pared back and yet optimistic, with earthy tones, ocean blues and opaque pastels shaping the mood of the season. After the break, a look at the color trends forecast for the warmer part of 2014.

Serene: The Blues

Contrasting the passion of the ‘sensual’ theme is a palette of serene blues. Clear open skies and calm seas signify freshness and the simplicity of nature. Spurred on by a longing for handmade authenticity, indigo dying and traditional denim return to the spotlight.

Forecasting agency Lenzing predicts colours for spring 2014 will take shape around 5 themes: sensual, serene, colorquake, oasis and diaphanous.

Sensual: Hot Summer

Seductive. Desire. Racy. Intense. Voluptuous. It’s words like these Lenzing uses to describe this theme of a steamy, hot summer; where tactility of textiles is slinky and sophisticated. The colour palette compliments fabrics like light-reflecting satins, jacquards, rich jerseys and open weave knits.
