Fashion Colours for 2009-Lemon and Citrus Tones

The yellow-green family is strong in the Pantone Spring 2009 palette. As yellow continues to make its mark on the world of fashion, tangy Super Lemon brings a fun, optimistic outlook to the Pantone palette.

Left - This gorgeous cocktail dress was shown at Dior's fashion show for spring 2009.

The high street soon followed suit and you will find a range of lemon and yellow dresses to suit your budget. These gorgeous gowns right are two of the most glamorous short evening dresses, and they are on offer at affordable prices. All you need now is a cocktail party to take on the world!

Centre Right - Another perfect take on the super lemon look with the luxury that only the sheen of satin can give. The halter neckline is similar to that of the Dior dress left and the bow is positively statement making! Centre Right - Lustrous Satin Super Lemon Dress £75 from Warehouse Spring Summer 2009 Collection.

Above Far Right - The colour of this asos.com dress is naturally celeb inspired, and thus is hot on trend, but so is that one shoulder asymmetric styling and that deep flounced shoulder frill ruffle and the soft puffball skirt. The Origami Asymmetric Dress £65 is from www.asos.com Spring Summer 2009 evening dresses. Origami styling and hoiked* areas in garments have been a growing trend the past two seasons. As sleeves and shoulders gain even more volume, and focal point interest, then this easily becomes a style to buy into now.

Even accessories get the bold statement colour treatment from the high street. Think bold brights for summer 2009 with a handbag like this one from Betty Jackson. Look no further than the Designers at Debenhams collections for catwalk inspired trendy colours.

Betty Jackson - 'Black' collection handbag in super lemon, £60/€93 and from the Spring/Summer 2009 Women's Accessories Bags Designers at Debenhams range.
