If you love the color salmon pink and you like to wear dresses, you’re in the right spot! If you aren’t sure what color salmon pink is, it’s pink with an orange hue (think of the fish). Looking at pink on the color spectrum, on one side you see purple and on the other side you see red. Salmon pink is closer to red and so is a warmer version of pink. Some close cousins are coral and peach. You’ll find it in a range from dark to light. For reference, if you’ve seen Disney’s original Sleeping Beauty, you’ll notice Princess Aurora wearing a salmon dress (when it isn’t blue). It’s a color I’ve always adored and one that brightens up any space. It’s an energetic, optimistic and friendly color that’s ready to celebrate! Here you’ll find a list of salmon dresses that are perfect for the upcoming warmer months.
A Salmon Dress from Today and Yesterday is the Perfect Staple for This Spring and Summer
You’ll find that more than one salmon dress in this list is vintage. That is because there are so many fabulous styles from the ‘60s and ‘70s that we just don’t see in today’s fast fashion! Plus, when you have the option to purchase a beautiful dress that’s already been worn and loved, you can know that your purchase doesn’t further compromise any ethical or environmental production standards. And I bet you’ll be the only person you know with exactly that dress. So if you love one of the vintage dresses, act on your well-informed and confident decision quickly because there’s only one of each available! But you’ll also see newer salmon dresses in chic and classy vintage styles as well.

The Takeaway: Salmon Dress to Impress…Yourself!
My creative vision is that we should all surround ourselves with our favourite colors, as much as possible. That means wearing them (talk about a power pop). That means furnishing our home in them because seeing these colors make us happy. Most people go about their days without putting much effort into conscious color decisions, but then when they are wearing or seeing colors they love, their energy lifts. Design and beauty do make a difference, and it is in cognizant fashion and design choices that we can tap into that power. So go shine and wear the salmon dress!
