Nothing says warm weather like a vine ripened tomato. Pantone agrees and has named Tomato red as the hot red for spring 2010. The blue hue and the warmth of the color allow it to work well with turquoise on one hand and this spring coral with a strong hue of orange on the other. Inspired by Badgely Mischka, the more main line clothing manufacturers have jumped on and this skintone friendly classic red will be popular on tops and sweaters, shoes, dresses. Some will wear red pants and skirts as well. It is a hot accent color for this season’s vibrant prints. And lets not forget nautical.
I love this sheath dress by Eliza J available at Nordstrom. It is fun yet sophisticated. It will work day into evening on hot summer days and is friendly to many body types. And very eary to wear. Pair it with sandals, flats or heels.
