COLOR TREND S/S 21

Action Points This S/S 2021 color palette is split into four parts - one featuring jewel tone colors, one focusing on neutral tones, one sticking to pastel colors, and the last centered around brights. All colors can be mixed between all palettes freely which is a result of the ever blurring line between online and in-world fashion. These colors also reflect the current zeitgeist and suggest that our world is growing to be more inclusive than ever.

1. Who needs jewels when you have Jewel Tones: colors based on precious and semi-precious stones with rich, deep saturation make these colors a necessity for any S/S 2021 look.

2. Sun Soaked Desert Neutrals: neutral colors taken from the Valley of Fire State Park will bring both your home body and wanderlust nature together with this palette.

3. Mediterranean Pastel Palette: inspired by the coastal city of Cinque Terre, Italy, this pastel palette gives you the Mediterranean mood you never knew you needed for S/S 2021.
