Teal is hot for Spring
February 25, 2010 by Deborah Boland and JoJami Tyler - The Glam Gals
You usually see teal in the fall, but it seems to be everywhere this spring. That’s great news because it is one of the four most universally flattering clothing colors.
This deep blue-green shade highlights all skin tones. It goes well with neutrals, darker browns and blacks and is a good transitional color between winter and summer. Here’s a few teal outfits we saw and liked:
| Basic and Beautiful:We love the simplicity of this dress. Its clean lines are slimming and the belt highlights a nice wait. What this dress does cry out for is some great jewelry (maybe some wow earrings) and some fun, sexy shoes to liven it up. If sleeveless is not for you, try a cute fitted jacket overtop.

| The hottest color in Handbags:One of the biggest trends in accessories this Spring is purses in shades of Teal, electric blue and turquoise. This boho bag is relaxed and casual, just perfect for bopping round the mall or out with some friends for lunch. ( Nordstrom) |  |
| Poolside Teal:Brown and teal give an exotic animal look to this swimsuit and cover-up combo and really play up her tawny skin. At the beach, in a sea of loud brightly colored bathing suits, you will stand out as cool and sophisticated in this teal shade. |  |
| Cock-”teal” Wear:Teal is popping up in cocktail wear this Spring too. It’s a deep, rich color that works well for weddings, parties and other more formal special events . This faux wrap dress is great if you are pear shaped. The wide neckline will balance out your hips and make you look more proportioned.(Nordstrom) |  |
| Teal as an accent: If you are not a big on wearing head to toe color, but want to bring a bit into your wardrobe, then thsi teal flat is a great way to do it. The cool snakeskin texture and multiple zippers give it just enough edge to make this elegant shoe most interesting!.(Nordstrom) |  |
| Traditional + Teal:We know, we know..just a few posts ago we said we weren’t mad for plaid, but we accidentally came across this plaid shirt that we were happy to see had a little pizazz. Perky in teal with some ruching for better fit and cute cuffs, this would be a good choice for all you more traditional ladies who just love this tried and true print. (Nordstrom) |  |
| Eccelectic:A splattering of teal mixed with blue, green and cream give this dress the feel of teal without the weight. Refreshing. Check out the other shift dresses we we love this spring. (Saks) | < |
| Grecian Teal:Soft draping is a classic and always looks elegant on 40+ bodies. The teal shade gives it a bold, contemporary twist. (Nordstrom) |  |
