We gotta thank rainbows for the little things in life. These vivid, miraculous wonders of life are always there to remind us there’s always going to be a little sunshine after the rain. Then somewhere over the rainbow, the fashion world has taken their fixation with trending colors to an extreme for spring and summer!

So you can forget everything you heard about the ‘color of the moment’, because there’s room for EVERY color this season. Rainbow smocked tops galore, multi-color striped denim, tie dye print and even colorful clip ons in all colors of the spectrum!

By adding some color to your wardrobe, it opens up a world full of opportunities to discover more about how different colors can affect your mood.

We’re not experts here, but we could vouch that a little pop of yellow can make us feel extraordinarily cheerful all day, while a red dress can be super sultry and have us feelin’ hot for a night out! Since we’re here to spin the color wheel this summer, we hope to embrace all the color sensations!

Not only is color more fun, the use of color is also a powerful one. Rainbows have been a prevalent symbol of the LGBTQIA community and at the star studded Met Gala event earlier this week, actress and producer Lena Waithe went all out in this statement prism pride cape, challenging this year’s theme while embracing the message to be who you are.

This emerging new appreciation for this colorful print has given me a way to look at my closet a little differently. So if you’re stuck in neutral with your wardrobe like I am, plan to go into sensory overload and add more pops of color to your summer wardrobe!
