COLOR THEORY: Mellow vs. Bold

For Spring 2014, the runways have shown quiet a huge gamut of colors. It is very familiar for us to see glamorous pastel for Spring time. However, bold and primary color seems very innovative and fresh for Spring! 

Look of this dress resembles somewhat petals of a flower giving very feminine but cool feelings due to light tone of blue. It surely reminds us of sweet warm breeze in the Spring. by Oscar de la Renta

Lavender color but shiny texture makes this fresh and new. Spring is when all the flowers wake up and this pastel hue gives blooming, and dreamy atmosphere of flowers busting out. by Prabal Gurung

 Philosophy showed candy-like pastel colors giving lively, yet sweet feelings to it. The beauty of this pastel color that shows in this is that this mint color gives warm and feminine sense, yet this color is under cool hue pallet.

 

This variety of pastel colors by DKNY resembles cotton candy! This runway show totally shows the soft colors for the Spring 2014.

Here it comes the BOLD! This collection by Ralph Lauren shows the bold bred monochromatic look on Spring 2014 runway. It is definite showing the strong primary color.

This  pure yellow hue gives similar atmosphere of mellow pastels. Vera Wang represented the vivid primary color but in the same time gave feminine look that resembles spring!

Strong Primary Pallets together, but not too much! Here, Celine gives very interesting bold colors in one garment.

Trend Report: Boyfriend in New York

In the city streets of New York Fashion Week, the boyfriend has taken over – the boyfriend look, that is. Baseball caps and beanies, distressed boyfriend jeans, oversized outerwear, rugged overalls, and masculine kicks is what it's all about this winter season.

Dressed head to toe in a cool color palette of different shades of blue, this gal has got the look down from her light wash distressed boyfriend jeans and clean white sneakers to her multi tone wool coat.

From her fingerless gloves to her seemingly worn-in bomber jacket, reminiscent of elementary school play dates, her nonchalant attitude is the perfect finish to her cool, masculine look.

Typically the only place you'd see overalls and Timberland boots together is on a construction site, but this season has redefined the once greasy look into one of class and cool.

From her 

Tailored pants, collared shirt, and oversized coat in all rich wool textiles, with oxford leather boots. A straight-up, masculine look centered around the classically chic, oversized statement coat.

A leather jumpsuit topped off with a masculine wool blazer and tousled blonde locks. 

Effortless. Elegant. Cool.

This look is centered around layers on top of layers. Her slim cut trousers are paired with a casual hoodie and two knee-length coats, serving the dual purpose of style and warmth. An olive beanie keeps the look relaxed and nonchalant.

   

These masculine ensembles have a lot of look, centering on the grayscale maxi-length outerwear.

According to Lucky magazine's Winter Street Style, "opting for maxi-length outerwear is smart for two reasons: not only is it undeniably dramatic, but it also gives you a little more leeway when it comes to what you later underneath." 

Mix a little feminine chicness to an otherwise masculine outfit and you've got a street style show stopper.
