How to Shop for Your Spring Colors

Choose clear delicate tones. Think in terms of warm, yellow-based, clean, and fresh colors. Solids, animated prints, plaids and stripes are all good choices for this palette of colors. Fabrics may have refined finishes to some texture such as gabardine to crisp linen.
Avoid: Black, white and cool colors with a blue undertone.
