Sky Blue Blazers

At Milan Fashion Week, robin's egg blue was woven throughout the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Whether it appeared in t-shirts, blazers or trousers, bright sky blue added an attractive pop to the line's mostly neutral palette.

Although black, white, tan and gray are perennial shades for menswear, the splashes of bright colors found in the Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2011 collection remind us that despite spring showers, warm weather is here.

Implications - The use of robin's egg blue in many different pieces throughout Klein's Spring/Summer 2011 collection weaves the collection together in a common theme and excites audiences about a trendy new color for the season. Warm, inviting and fashionable, this egg blue is a part of a family of popular pastels that have made their way onto runways, magazines and streets this summer.
