NEW TREND ALERT: NUDE/BLUSH TONES

Beige and Metallic 3/4 Length-Sleeved Dress. Jovani Style 7749

Flesh colored shades of cream, caramel and mocha, are the sexiest colors of clothing to go for this Spring! Not only does it create a bit of an optical illusion to the naked eye, it gives you an endless amount of options to play around with your look! Whether it be a nude colored dress, shoe, jacket, handbag, or even lipstick or nail polish, pairing anything with these neutral colors works effortlessly. Another similar color to this flesh toned hue would be a blush tone! Blush colored hues would be found in between the beige and pink color family. Depending on the undertone of your complexion, blush toned hues can also be considered as a nude color.

The popularity of these colors are slowly rising as spring slowly approaches us, giving you fashionistas every reason to follow this trend! Zac Posen used fabulous flesh toned colors in his Spring/Summer 2012 collection with an array of beautiful full length gowns. Most recently, this nude trend has been followed by celebs such as Heidi Klum, Charlize Theron and Anne Hathaway. They all have been seen all over the red carpet of award shows, such as the Golden Globes. Besides the fact the beautiful weather of spring is right around the corner, another reason to begin to incorporate this popular color trend into your look should be Valentine’s Day! For most, the color of romance consists of a cliché color palette of reds and pinks, but to us, it’s nude!
