Each season we get told that another colour is “the new black,” and this year is no different — there are several must have colours for S/S 2011. The internationally renowned colour experts at Pantone, in conjunction with a bunch of designers, have released the 10 colours that they believe are the must haves for wardrobes this spring. The colours are fresh and fun, and personally, I am a fan of all of them! See if you like the must have colours for S/S 2011, too!

Honeysuckle is one must have colour for S/S 2011. This is a beautiful pinkish-red colour and perfect to snap you out of that winter lull. It’s meant to be a feel-good colour, and I can tell you that my mood is lifted just by looking at it. This colour was seen on the runways of Badgley Mischka and Peter Som, to name a few. I’ll definitely be finding ways of injecting this playful colour into my wardrobe.

2. Coral Rose

3. Pea Pod

This pale, yellow-green colour definitely has a calming effect. It’s a fresh shade of green, which epitomises spring and summer perfectly. However, it’s subdued enough to make it easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. As seen in Erin Fetherston’s spring collection, this is easily one of the coolest colours around.
