We have more gorgeous photos from Cosmo’s showroom that we simply had to share with you! The bright colors and patterns will leave you awestruck.
As the weather begins to improve, the amount of available light increases because there are more hours of sunshine and the sky gets clearer; also, because natural lighting gets more intense during the central hours of the day. But this is not the weather report for today! It is just one of the main reasons why we enjoy colors so much in Spring, like what you see in these photos: they look brighter and stand out more under the right light. In addition, the palette of nature begins to fill with different hues after wintertime and the end of Autumn, which both tend to show a much lesser chromatic variety.
In cities, the change between seasons is sometimes less marked, but nonetheless easily noticeable: in parks and gardens, in the decoration of streets and shop windows, in the patterns of our clothes and accessories etc. It would seem that, surrounded by this explosion in light and color, we are moved to join in the display, thus keeping in line with the environment and the season. There is no better time than Spring for floral prints, multicolored fabrics or patterns with great contrasts of color. When summer comes, the light is sometimes so intensely dazzling that colors cannot be fully appreciated. However, in spring they shine in all their splendor, so take advantage of it now and enjoy to the fullest those garments, accessories or fabrics that stand out for the quantity and intensity of their colors. In our shop, you’ll see tons of gorgeous fabrics in a wide range of colors. Cosmo fabrics come in so many different colors, that you’ll want to spend all day looking at them!
Of course, color is a matter of taste and, more importantly, of good taste. Now is definitely the time to combine a cheerful, original or daring print with other more neutral clothing/accessories, so that they help show off your flashy item(s) while balancing the whole look. In case of doubt, start by wearing a single garment or somewhat large accessory that is very colorful (bag, shawl, blouse, skirt, pants, jacket), as part of an outfit that is more uniform and features softer hues. A chromatic nod to that special piece of clothing or accessory given through smaller items (shoes, socks, belts, jewelry, hats, whatever you can think of) usually work well, too.
We have in our store a huge amount of solid fabrics, multicolored fabrics, textile patterns of contrasting colors, fabrics with striking designs where color plays a fundamental role. Check out the images we selected to go with this post, and you will see some examples where color is king. We have also included some of the great pictures of Cosmo‘s showroom, featuring some fabrics, accessories and garments with a prominent use of color. We hope you like them and get inspired to sew something beautiful and full of color this spring! If you bring yourself to do it, remember to send us images of the finished project, as we love sharing them!
