Top summer colors

A saturated blue and crisp white still feel like summer to me. This old favorite is proof a great color can outlast the trend cycle.

Back in 2016, Pantone Snorkel Blue was one of the season’s big colors. It’s “thisclose” to cobalt blue and it also happens to be one of my favorite colors of all time. Trend cycle or not, I will always have some variant of this shade of blue heavy in my wardrobe (Carolina blue is a close second favorite in the blue family).

This is one of the top summer colors that happens to flatter a lot of skin tones and looks so good with other colors (canary yellow, orange, rose, mint green, with all sorts of prints and so on). Some gorgeous, eye-catching pairing can be created if you invest in Pantone “Snorkel Blue.” If the color is not in your wardrobe yet try it – I do not believe you will be disappointed at all. It’s so rich – lots of depth with this color.

I kept it basic with white because I was celebrating the continued reign of our Kansas City Royals with the season-opening win but be on the lookout for some wicked color combos with this top summer color.

If saturated color is your thing too, Think Pink is me doing the same thing in a completely different shade. And when I want color to work through contrast instead of head-to-toe impact, this is the formula I use.
