Hot colors to wear for every social event this summer

If you’re the kind of fashionista who can’t decide on a favorite color, why not consider the whole rainbow? With so many special occasions on the horizon, summertime is perfect for adding new shades to your wardrobe. Whether you’re going to a wedding, garden party or otherwise, check out these popular hues for summer dresses. Watch the video and read below for more details:

Fashionable Warm colors

This summer, warm colors are front and center, with popular shades reminiscent of beachy sunsets.

Pink
Feminine, classic and chic, pink is a staple for every wardrobe – and it’s in this summer! Elevate a pink dress with gold bracelets. The combination of two warm hues is a winner.

Red
Red is eye-catching, dramatic and perfect for every special occasion. If you really want to stand out in this hot hue, choose a red ladies jumpsuit. Not only will you have freedom of motion, but you’ll be fashion-forward and the belle of whatever ball you visit.

Fuchsia
A little bit of pink and a lot of personality, fuchsia is a star this season. Pair it with metallic shoes for a shimmery look that’s ready to party.

Blush
If you’re seeking an understated and soft color to rock this summer, look no further than blush. This pinkish hue feels at home in garden settings but can stand its ground at evening occasions as well. Combine romance and strength by getting a skirt suit in blush.

Gold
Gold is opulent and never goes out of style, making it a fantastic color to wear year-round. For summer, seek a knee-length dress and pair it with a light matching jacket to stay warm when the sun goes down – cold shoulders shouldn’t keep you from a great time!

Peach
Peach can add a little warmth to your wardrobe without distracting from, say, the bride. Its light tint makes it a natural fit for daytime events and perfect partner to lace.

Fashionable Cool colors

A rainbow isn’t complete without cool colors – and neither is your closet!

Lavender
Lavender gets both the royal feel of purple and the elegance of blue for a color that’s essential for every wardrobe. Glide into your summer events in a breezy ensemble that features embellishments like beading.

Aqua
Part green, part blue and all beautiful, aqua is the serene star of summer. For more coverage, wear aqua as a skirt suit. Or, channel a fun and flirty vibe with a ruffly dress instead.

Blue
You can’t go wrong with blue, no matter what time of year you wear it. This color transitions from day to night flawlessly and looks great on every figure.

Stylish Black and white

Your closet may already contain a little black dress, but how about a little black & white jumpsuit? Elevated classics are on trend, perfect for making a statement and letting you show off your personal style. Going to a black-tie event? Pick a floor-length gown decked out in shimmering beads and sequins. Swap out maxi dresses for knee-length when attending less-formal occasions. Either way, black, white and bling are a better trio than the three musketeers.
