The dark-to-light and light-to-dark scheme has quickly caught on and these bright ombre designs represent some of this genre's most bold pieces, all of which are unabashedly provocative via ornate technicolor displays. Whether purple, pink or blue-tinged, the careful addition or withering away of color has become mainstream, now the centerpiece of wedding designs and restaurant makeovers. Dresses, jeans and nail tool kits have assumed the dissolve framework, mixing eclectic patterns with breakthrough mediums.
Expertly faded tresses and denim pantone shorts have captivated the minds of a new consumer base. The look is youthful and carefree, all the while suggesting that monochromatic styles are a thing of the past. These rainbow-esque motifs adamantly confirm the passé nature of a single-toned look, spurring on a new school of vibrant enthusiasts.
