Basic Jewel Tones: Crisp and Clean
The weather is finally starting to warm up, better late than never. With the season just starting, it’s time to make a statement. Spring’s colors are ‘in full bloom’, according to W magazine. This means, rich jewel tones. Along with the pretty pastels that brought in the Easter festivities, jewel tones can make their way into Spring.

Darker and edgier jewel tones on the cover of W Magazine. These colors are very sultry and romantic, perfect for Spring.
Whether you incorporate jewel tones in your wardrobe, accessories, handbags or shoes, it can brighten up your whole look. Since these colors are very rich and bright, any piece is bound to make a statement. The most popular jewel tones are the shades of pink, blue, green, yellow and purple. When they’re all paired together, they work beautifully. But maybe not for a whole outfit. Adding one of these colors to a simple look can really make a difference in your outfit. Imagine the luxurious colors one would see in the Emerald City or in Oz, I’m pretty sure they would be jewel tones!

Love the necklace. It could work as a really great statement piece with a simple outfit.
Pairing a jewel tone dress with a dark leather jacket can really balance out your look. Jewel tones look great with white or black. Crisp white pants and a bright jewel tone colored blouse or shirt looks so chic, and a leather jacket adds a simple edge to your ensemble.
My favorites are statement pieces. A bright jewel tone purse or jewelry draws attention to your look in a slight way.
