COLOR TO THE RESCUE

The artist Rodin said that "Black is the queen of all colors" and I tend to agree. It's the never fail go-to. But the siren song of the rainbow always calls us out. Because motion is life and life is color. And just like running and athletics, color has emotion. The hot reds and corals of blood and effort. Snap is a fire. To the cool blues of downtime and rest. Grounding yourself in an ice bath or an alpine lake. And of course, the interplay. Color play.

Our Fall 19 palette is mix of hots and colds. Below are just a few of my favorite pairings, though our mantra is that any pairing is a good pairing if it gets you out the door. No stylist required.

SNAP AND GROUNDED... are like lovers who are intense opposites but can't be separated. The high flying bright meets the 1000-leagues-under-the-sea blue.

SNAP is easily found in the Flyte Collection, Rogas, and Flyout - where Snap and Grounded are knit together in the same fabric.

Or in Big Stripe, Mock Neck or Tank.

GROUNDED is our new deep blue, showing up in the best-selling Pocket Jogger Shorts, the Roga Collection, or the new Triple Threat Capris.

Or try it in the brand new solid Flyte Tank and Flyte Long Sleeve (with Snap birds, of course).

BB BLUE AND DOUGLAS FIR... is like a grove of evergreens sitting next to a clear blue swimming pool. Not sure I've ever been to a pool like that, but it sounds lovely. Very PNW. And that's the match for this combo. The rich green of DOUGLAS FIR made even more so in the Lux Collection.

And BB BLUE is both the cool hues of fall along with the lingering goodbye of summer. But it's also an all-year color, bringing an instant blue sky joy. It's the antidote to boredom. (As an aside, these were my first purchases of the new season, and the colors immediately energezied my neighborhood six-miler.) In addition to the Rogas, you'll find BB Blue in the Lux Collection, and in Flyte.

FLEUR AND CRIMSON... are love birds. On its own, Crimson can feel very university. The old guard. But when paired with a soft, strong pink, it becomes something entirely different.

You'll find FLEUR in the Lux Collection, as well as mixed with the Crimson in the Big Stripe Mock Neck and Tank. It's also in the always popular, always ready-to-run Flyout HoverFit.

CRIMSON is just right for bottoms... in Pocket Jogger Shorts, Triple Threat Tights, the Roga Collection, and Flyte.

Of course, Y'ALL DO COLOR BEST. Can't wait to see what you combine, mix, fly proud and strong. Don't forget to tag us: @oiselle #flystyle...the runbow is powerful!
