There are three very distinct and well defined color palettes for the little guy. There is a classic varsity inspired palette with fun infant color twists, a pallet that is influenced by the older boy which has lots of shiny fabrics and metallic trims and a wonderfully warm outdoorsy pallet. The main neutral base color includes shades of brown popped with some of this seasons trendiest colors like charcoal, burnt orange and slate gray.

 

Academy
This is a classic theme with some fresh new twists. Charcoal is now a great neutral as well as a wonderful golden straw color. And for infants we are replacing the red with orange and navy with turq to give it a real baby look. Consider these new colors for use in patterns and prints, especially argyle or plaid.

Man Made vs. Nature
This palette is being influenced by big brother. Use futuristic shiny fabrics in shades of gray, moss and putty mixed with hints of spruce, blues and browns. Pop it with a bright red to give it that younger feel. Pay special attention to the shiny pale gray hues that give darker saturated colors a new meaning.
