Single and Ready to Mingle
Here are some of the statement colors getting the most love on the runways and in our closets this FW15/16 season.

Paired with black, stark white, gunmetal, navy, and camel this trend gets an sophisticated upgrade. We’re loving the influence that the athleisure trend has had, and neon is predicted to be prevalent throughout the SS16 seasons as well.
