Spring 2016 Color Trend: Singing the Blues Klaudia Tirico
New York Fashion Week has given us the blues in the best way possible. No, we’re not sad, just really, really excited about the color of choice for spring 2016. The shows may not be over yet, but we’ve already seen a plethora of blue hues coming down the runway. From metallic teals to bold ceruleans, here are eight ways to rock the color trend of the season, courtesy of some of our favorite shows so far. Hey, Pantone, here is our 2016 Color of the Year nomination incase you’re interested.
Inspired by the bright colors in Lhuillier’s collection, Garland opted for “thick, sort of rectangle” sweeps of electric blue and green eyeliner. If the model was wearing green, blue liner (MAC Chromaline in Hi-Def Cyan) was applied; if she was wearing blue, green was used.
Remark used “a standout bright blue to add an element of fun to complement the earthy, ethereal vibe.” She used essie nail polish in Butler Please on the models’ tips.
The overall look at DVF was inspired by a photo of the designer from the 70s. McGrath opted for a shimmery blue eye shadow on the lids, complemented by a metallic green on the lower lash line, “like they’re on holiday but with beautiful color,” she said.
“For a faded, soft smoky eye, bend the liner upward from the lash line with a flat tool, then layer with eye shadow and blend into the crease,” he says.
Yes, rainbow brows are still a thing; and if you have the courage to rock this bold trend, take note from Chromat’s show and try the metallic blue arches created by Samuel, who was inspired by “the power woman of the future.”
Inspired by Posen’s first collection for Brooks Brothers, the team chose a standout nail color, essie polish in Pret a Surfer, that “played on the plaids and interesting stitching details found throughout the garments, all while keeping true to brand's classic resort feel.”
