LIVING CORAL 2019 COLOR OF THE YEAR

Drum roll, light the lights, curtain up and the PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2019 is LIVING COLOR 16-1546.

Thank the fashion gods that PANTONE picked a pretty color for next year. The 2018 color of the year, purple, was a downer. I still have purple hats in stock that did not, sell if anyone wants to buy them.

Living coral 16-1546
I always love working with coral color. Its looks great on all skin tones. Here's a beauty tip, when you are feeling tired or overworked, don a coral colored hat or scarf and watch your skin come back to life. Here's another secret, it looks amazing on social media pics!
The 2019 coral shade is way better then the last time around circa 1980, when it was more a lipstick shade worn by frilly bridesmaids.
Living coral color has already made it onto the red carpets. From Vanessa Paradis wearing a coral chiffon Chanel gown at the Cesar awards, Taylor Hill wearing a coral gown to the Vanity Fair Oscar party to Heidi Klum wearing a beaded coral gown to the Emmy's, which earned her 10,000 likes on IG.
OK, just one more beauty secret, accessories it with blues and green and never try to match it to your lipstick.

At Callanan hats, we have you covered.

Velvet is a hot fashion trend for Fall 2019. There was a time when velvet was only seen in formal settings, but in a modern setting, its acceptable to wear it, whenever one wants to feel luxurious.

DENIM on trend and IN STYLE

It's hard to classify DENIM as a trend. For most of us, it is a wardrobe staple, and it is without doubt a classic "AMERICA STYLE".


Denim goes back to the future

An all over denim outfit is a hard look to pull-off, but paired with a crisp white shirt or t-shirt and it can be one-sexy-look. Or how about adding a little denim as hat trim and rocking it to your local beach. Yep, a cool on-trend look with the added UPF+ sun protection thrown in for free. Work it gurl!

PURPLE REIGNS FOR 2018

Here's a reminder that Pantone's color of the year 2018 is PURPLE in all its shades of glory.
 Especially ultra VIOLET.




The dearly departed songster known as Prince would have had you "laughing in purple rain, bathing in  purple rain" but I think a little shot of purple goes a long way.

 So what is the difference between the color purple and Violet? Violet appears in the visible light spectrum (rainbow) ,whereas purple is a mix of red and blue. Whilst violet is not as intense as purple, generally speaking the names are interchangeable and the meaning of the color is similar.

Purple/Violet is a secret mystical color worn by catholic priests during exorcism and while hearing confession during Advent. It is believed to have a calming effect with healing powers.

From a color psychology point of view, purple/violet promote harmony, mental balance, psychic abilities and spiritual enlightenment.
The color purple is specifically associated with royalty and nobility, creating an impression of luxury, wealth and extravagance.




At Callanan hats, we have some adorable caps in purple, that will have you humming "PURPLE RAIN" all the way to and from work.
