A Spring Fling With Bold Colors and Patterns

Spring and summer runways are featuring a unique combination of bold colors, patterns and neutrals rather than the classic shades from last year. A key element to updating your look is including bright colors such as fuchsia, aqua, yellow, green, purple and orange. Adding these colors to your evening wear wardrobe infuses excitement into any elegant event.

When you combine bright colors with patterns, it can get rather busy so you need to select your gown carefully. Once you find a pattern that compliments your coloring, it is essential to choose the right accessories. After all, your goal is to look fashionable not comical. Simple jewelry, shoes, handbag and hairstyle are the perfect way to compliment a patterned, colorful evening gown.

We have three favorite formal dresses that tastefully incorporate the latest spring colors, patterns and designs making them suitable for the most distinctive events.

Fuchsia Patterned Formal Dress Our first favorite is the 13262 Fuchsia Patterned Formal Dress with ample straps and a v-neck bodice to flatter every figure type. The fitted waist defines your feminine shape and the full skirt goes to the floor with a short train. When you turn around, this gorgeous gown is backless with a bow-shaped strap of patterned material across your lower back for added definition. The fuchsia pattern is eye-catching yet appropriate for parties of distinction.

Aqua Brown Formal Gown Another one of our favorites is the 13267 Aqua Brown Formal Gown with thick straps and a seductive v-neck bodice. The fitted skirt hugs past your hips and thighs to show off your hourglass figure then flows fully to the floor. The rear view of this fabulous formal gown features thick, sparkling stripes criss-crossed across your back. The combination of aqua and brown is both bright and neutral, incorporating the two favorite color elements of the spring season.

Pattern Party Dress Finally, we love the 13723 Pattern Party Dress, which is perfect for those formal affairs where you prefer to wear a short gown. The vibrant pattern is an eclectic choice with a unique combination of pink, purple and green. Sturdy straps uphold the v-neck bodice and sparkling crossed over bands around your waist give you a great feminine shape. The patterned skirt flares out fully to your knees to make you want to dance for hours. When you spin around, glittering bands cross over your bare upper and middle back for added allure.

Colorful patterns are a whimsical way to express yourself at formal affairs this season so why not go for your spring fling!
