How To Wear Pantone's Spring Colors Now

*Sigh.* I spend all year getting pumped for my fall wardrobe (best season for dressing, IMO), and then Pantone has to go and get me all excited for next year's clothes. The Pantone Spring 2016 Color Report has been released, and I can't help but look forward to seeing these hues pop up in new collections. Their top ten shades are the perfect blend of vibrant and serene, bright, and blissful. Everything you'd want to start out the new year.

Even though the color authority normally releases slightly different picks for men's and women's, this year's color palette is unisex. "Colors this season transcend cultural and gender norms," according to the description on Pantone's website. "Vivid brights give way to excitement and optimism, though quiet stability prevails in this season’s palette. For Spring 2016 there are truly no perceivable distinctions in color choices between the men’s and women’s collections, both of which focus on a desire to breathe and reflect, then play."

There's plenty of juxtaposition between the louder hues like Buttercup and Green Flash and the more subtle colors such as Rose Quartz and Serenity, but the differences should make for some interesting options come next year.

Even though I'm stoked for my muted Autumn shades, I'll be looking for these colors to invest in when the time is right. Here are the top ten hues we can expect in Spring 2016 lines:

Rose Quartz

"Rose Quartz, a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Like a serene sunset, flushed cheek or budding flower, Rose Quartz reminds us to reflect on our surroundings during the busy but lighthearted spring and summer months."
