Color Trends for Winter 2015-2016

Each January I take a look back at popular colors. This year I'm breaking down our top five most popular mitten colors for winter 2015-2016!

Click here to see the popular colors from last year.

#1: Black


Basic black moved up to the number one spot this year! Always a classic, black goes with anything and does a good job of masking dirt.

#2: Sunshine Yellow


Yellow was our best seller last year, and it continued to be popular this year. Many parents have found these are the perfect "hands" for Lego themed Halloween costumes. Read more about that here, here, and here.

#3: Iris Purple


Making a comeback from its number two spot in 2013-2014 is iris. This vibrant purple is one of my favorite shades! The yarn has a little bit of a sheen to it, and it looks really rich.

#4: Watermelon Pink


A newcomer to the top colors list is watermelon. I think it's because we started offering this color in our thumbless baby size this year. Whatever the reason, we sold a lot of this pink hue!

#5: Red


Rounding out the top five is classic red. This one was also fifth on last year's list! Red mittens on a string bring back memories of mittens from the old days, don't they?
