The Color of The Year: Coral

Shades of coral are popping up everywhere this spring. This flirty, fun and feminine color is being dubbed the color of the year. It was even seen all over the runways during Fall 2011 Fashion Week!

Tan or not…. brunette or blonde…..  This hue will make you shine all season long.  Check out a few of our favorite coral items available at Hand In Pocket now below along with tips on how to style each piece.

Add a cream belt from Elise M or wear the MM Couture Coral Kiss Dress- Coral $78 flowy and free with beige peep toe sling backs and turquoise accessories. This dress is perfect for a wedding, shower, graduation, or easter.

Pair the Aryn K Silk Tank with Multi Color Print $86  with cuffed denim shorts like the Joes below and a brown wedge to complete a sassy outfit perfect for dinner and drinks on the patio of your favorite restaurant.

Joes Jeans Roll Short -Sammy $97

Maxi dresses are perfect for night you do not want to wear heels! Pair the Karlie Aztec Print Maxi Dress $108  with your Dolce Vita sandals (coming soon to HIP) and stack on gold bangles for a seductive bohemian look that suites multiple occasions.

Pair the MM Couture Creamsicle Top- Orange/Cream $62  with a pair of cuffed bottoms. Cropped denim will work but I really love coral paired with the olive green tones that are ever so popular right now. Try the cuffed twill ones below from !iT Jeans! These two colors complement each other so well people will be in envy of your great fashion sense.
