Is it just us, or is Barbie back by storm? The Barbiecore trend has truly been infiltrating everyone's FYP and is showing no signs of stopping. Without a doubt, the hottest color of summer 2023 is hot pink!

The newfound Barbiecore trend is all about the pink aesthetic. It started gaining traction back in 2022 when it became a massive must-have in fashion.

The Rise Of The Barbiecore Trend

And now that everyone's well into their second Barbie phase (we're sure almost everyone grew up with these iconic dolls), pink is all we see. The Barbie movie is only propelling the popularity of this color further, and you're missing out if you're not ready to incorporate it into your look.

If you're not obsessed with the Barbiecore trend, you'll be able to effortlessly rock the calm summer aesthetic. From soothing tunes to anything pastel, this trend is a go-to if you're looking to spend your summer days relaxing by a beach or peacefully soaking in the sun's rays.

What Are Calm Summer Colors?

Soft pastel blue is one of the most notable calm summer colors. Not only does it remind us of the summer skies, but it pairs well with any fit.

To understand your ideal summer style, it's important to look into seasonal color analysis. That way, you can find out which season you are!

Are You A Summer?

When it comes to color analysis, summer is cool and light. That means your skin tone likely has cool undertones, and you have light eye and hair color. The best colors to wear are often light and powdery, soft and muted, or cool.

This makes pastel blue a must-have for sporting your summer side.

Utilizing Pastel Blue In Your Nail Art

Maniology's Droplet pearl blue stamping polish is perfect for this summer. Not only is it ideal for the warmer weather, but it's a great way to contrast pink-obsessed fashion trends.
