Watermelon is the color of the moment...

Watermelon....no, not the fruit that is delicious to eat, but the color, is this seasons sweetest shade!  This pretty, punchy hue - a pinkish red with a touch of bright orange, is the color to be seen in this season.

Why I love it - I think Peter Som, who used watermelon in his collection, summed it up best: "it has the graphic impact of a lipstick red, but it's just a bit more feminine".

How to wear it - look for a structured silhouette, like the delightful tulip dress by Acne to emphasizethe color's strength.  Or for a little zing, wear a separate - either a blouse, a sweater, or sandals

Not sure about wearing too much of this color?  That's fine, just add a pop of watermelon with a sandal, belt or purse.  Or, adjust your makeup!  A melon mouth will look divine with a shiny gloss.  Choose a gloss that's a shade lighter than the dress rather than the same color - you don't want to overdo it!

Watermelon also plays well with these colors.....white, khaki, tangerine, & cobalt blue.  Don't be afraid to experiment with any of these colors to put a fabulous look together.

Here's some looks in watermelon....get inspired and give this color a try this season!
