Think twice, ladies, before you start weeding out items in your current spring/summer wardrobes. According to the leading indicator of color trends for 2010, some things you already have may get a second life. Just as New York Fashion Week is getting underway, the Pantone Color Institute has revealed the Top 10 shades chosen by designers in Manhattan for their ready-to-wear collections.
According to a WWD.com report, roughly 13 percent of all designers staging previews showed a preference for the same three pastel shades registered by Pantone: turquoise, aurora (yellow) and violet.

On the lower edge of unanimity, about 7 percent of designers preferred: dried herb (olive), pink and (bright) blue.
Pantone’s executive director, Leatrice Eiseman, told WWD the color choices were a sign of “cautious optimism”.
They lead this Eye to expect that white and brown will be the key accessory colors.
That remains to be seen as the week unfolds. Check back soon for EyeSeeStyle’s Fashion Week updates.
