Trendy Hot Colors for Spring 2009

Keeping a new color in mind while stocking up on basics or snatching up a few accessories in the season's hottest shade are affordable ways to change your look for a new season. By only focusing on color, you can buy pieces you'd be picking up anyway, ensuring you won't stop wearing them just because they're no longer on the cusp of trendy. Whether your style is bold or more muted, spring 2009 color trends offer exciting new shades for your wardrobe.

Pale Neutrals:
Unlike Fall/Winter's dark and vampy neutrals, spring feels very, well, spring. Pastels are a trend every time March rocks around, and 2009's pastels are super light and bleached out. This lends to an urban feel, especially if mixed with flashier spring colors, but can also be worn alone for a light-colored lady-like look. If you only do one neutral color, make it slate gray. Gray is "the new black," as they say, when it comes to spring trends.

Ultra Bold Hues:
Big bold colors for spring '09 are highly saturated jewel tones, especially lemon yellow and jade green. Hot pinks are also super popular, but any highly saturated bold colors will do. Pick your fave blue, green, pink, or orange, and choose a shade that's bright and drenched in color. Instead of doing a "pop of color" with a neutral outfit, wear layers from the same color family, or play with color blocking.

The In-Betweens:
For spring color that's low-key but still color, try rose, lavender, or salmon. Varied shades of salmon are big for 2009's warm months. Wear a salmon top with gray skinnies and giant earrings for a look that's comfortably striking and perfectly trendy.

Metallics are also super trendy. Wear silvers, golds, and shiny versions of your fave colors above. Work metal tones into your entire look, or use a metallic bag or shoe to give a colorful outfit an extra kick.
