Nobody could miss the citrus-y color schemes on the menswear Spring 2010 runways.
This color palette was visible on several of the major runways including Burberry Prorsum, D&G, Calvin Klein, Costume National, D’Squared, Emporio Armani, Hermes, Issey Miyake, John Galiano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lanvin and Louis Vuitton.
In some instances, the citrus color was worn in a full blown loud way, while other designers offered a subtle punch of the color to break up neutrals.
While there appeared to be an emphasis on orange, green, yellow, and grapefruit pink also made appearances.
