Fashionista NOW: Coral Chic Fashion Inspiration

Coral, spring’s favorite color, is back. Ladies, get ready to enliven your day-to-evening outfits with saccharine coral hues this season with our help.

If there’s a color that is bursting with joy and delight, coral is it.

Colors that make a great pairing with coral include light mint green and all neutral shades. Don’t forget metallic gold and silver. This season’s hologram-inspired trend may also be coupled with coral if you’re feeling daring and experimental.

Black and coral combo is a classic choice as it easily translates into a wearable monochromatic look that can be dressed up or down and on most people, these two colors just go well together.

Floral and other print styles may be worn with a solid coral hue as long as there is a present of color that is complementary to the latter. A fan of color-blocking? Well, you are advised to stretch the limits by going with whatever color that appeals to you.

Coral is stated to be an enduring hue of the warm seasons and being that it is by itself a warm hue, makes it a predictable color to wear come spring or summer.

And as colors in fashion sit at the whims of temperature and mood, annual fashion color reports by season tend to sound like a broken record.

However, married with style and the substance of the individual who is the (hopefully) conscious consumer of the fashion industry, we get to witness art conveyed through clothing in the way that the wearer choose to present and render a color trend that blends with his/her default way of dressing.

So, how do you sport the coral fashion trend this season and make it work to fit your taste and style preference?
