Rite of Spring Pt 2


Previously I shared the women's spring colors. In part 2, I'll be sharing the men's spring color trends.

The first color selected is Lavender Herb. This is one of my favorites for the men and I sincerely  hope that many men adopt this color.  One of the things that I love about this shade is that regardless of personal style, this shade of lavender works for everything from preppy  to Neo Victorian.

Pantone's color of the year makes an a pear ancestors in the color trends for the men as well.  I can see some lovely dress shirts or ties in this shade.

Titanium should be big for the  gentleman this spring.  It makes a great alternative  to black for those warmer days (pretty much every day if you live in Texas)

Sandstone is next on the list. While Pantone may like this shade,  it is one I struggle to get behind.  The yellow/orange undertones makes this a color that I find harsh for many complexions.

Woodbine is a mossy shade of green.  It reminds me of trees in East Texas where I spent my adolescent years. This is another  color that won't work with every complexion, so try this one on...don't  buy unless you LOVE it.

Toasted Almond...sounds more like something I would order for my ice cream sundae than a shade of clothing, but it is a lovely neutral. I can foresee many  khaki pants in this shade for spring.

Classic Blue. The name says it all.  This is a shade that looks good on practically everyone, so buy,buy, buy.

Treetop reminds me of a forest and makes me long for a cabin getaway. I love this shade of green and can't wait to see it on all those beautiful hazel the guys out there.

Glacier Grey,  another great sprint neutral.  Buy pants, suits, pretty much anything you like in this shade.

Dusk Blue is another classic shade of blue that looks great on just about everyone. Many shirts will be found in this shade or with this shade as an accent.
