Trend Watch: Ombré

June 18, 2012

Ombré is everywhere this year. It looks fabulous on hair – so easy to maintain!! Roots? What roots?

Now it’s everywhere you look. Our favorite ways to wear this trend?

Ombré Bathing Suits. It’s fabulous for pear shape bodies – the eye is drawn to lighter colors, so having a lighter color on top will draw the eye up and bring attention to where you are slim while the darker bottom conceals what you want to hide.

Ombré Maxi Dress. The gradual fade of color is highlighted so well on a long flowy maxi dress.

shopbop, $207

Even formal wear! Why not try a ombré dress for a wedding this summer? You’ll be trendy without out shining or upstaging anyone with this subtle trend.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous, ombré perfection.

shopbop, $595

Hesitant? Try it on your nails! Fade to light in your nails or try a ombré manicure!

    Ombre is such a sweet trend, and I especially love the nail idea. Last week at the drugstore I saw kits by Orly with 5 mini polishes that were perfectly matched for this look…I’m inspired to go get one now!
    Found your blog through the Monday Mingle today.

    I love ombre. Drew Barrymore had ombre hair a few years ago — she is so before her time. 😉 There are a lot of DIY ombre clothing projects out there too if you are feeling crafty.

    Love the ombre trend! The two shopbop dresses are definitely my favorites and I love the nails too- I’ll have to see if I have enough colors to do that.
