“Wow” Colors for Spring

Are you ready to pack away the rich colors of fall and winter? Do you want to add some much needed cheer into your wardrobe? Well, now is the perfect time. The new colors for spring are bright, bold, and vibrant – just the antidote for those winter doldrums.

When spring collections hit the runways last fall designers wowed industry insiders with a vibrant new color palette. T-shirts, sweaters, polo shirts, oxfords, and slacks in hot pink, lemony yellows, and fruity oranges brought smiles to everyone who saw them.

Predicting that consumers coming out of a cold winter would gravitate toward these luscious colors retailers stocked up on mix and match pieces for this spring. These items are just beginning to show up in stores and are selling extremely well.

Jay Monroe, a commenter for AI News, is very excited about the early sales. “With the recent downturn in the economy, and slow holiday sales retailers and manufacturers were really concerned how springs sales would rate. I think everyone had planned for low sales this season. But, from what we are seeing so far in stores, I call it the “early returns”, we might just be surprised.”

Monroe goes on to say that he feels people want something bright in their lives. “The days have been gray, the economy is miserable, and people are looking to add a little light to their mood. Even in this tough economic times a bright tee can left your mood.”

Monroe, and retailers and manufacturers around the country are hoping that these “early returns” hold true throughout the season. According to AI News the largest increases in women’s wear are in the separates department. It seems it is much more economical to add a little color to an existing wardrobe than purchase an entire new wardrobe for the season.
