LACOSTE X THERACHELSTORY

Every season, Pantone--a leading technology for accurate communication of color--releases a fashion color report. Researchers at Pantone go through an in-depth analysis to forecast which colors are the "it" shades a.k.a. the colors you'll end up seeing on the runway. PALE DOGWOOD, a light shade of pink, is the must-have hue Pantone has predicted will be poppin' in Spring 2017. Pink is definitely making a comeback. 

Many clothing brands are already in the design lab to produce various clothing items dyed in this color. Lacoste is no exception. I was lucky enough to receive one of their latest additions to the sneaker family: the Straightset Chukka in the color, you guessed it, pale dogwood. These shoes are true to size and they are incredibly comfortable, which is not surprising for such a well-established brand. I wanted to style these shoes with a more feminine outfit so I decided to pair a white long-sleeve shirt with my A-line denim skirt. I kept the look simple by adding few accessories and wore my beige beret to complement the color of the shoes. 

I am now super excited for the next season to roll over (well technically I'd have to wait two seasons) so that I can play around with these shoes more! I could dress this up with a more feminine look like I am in as this outfit or I could contrast it with some black jeans and a gray sweater for a more tomboy-ish look. 

What do you think of Pantone's Spring fashion color report? Would you wear pale dogwood in your outfit? Let me know in the comments below!

Keep it classy,
