Colour Your World
As irresistible as a tall glass of lemonade on a scorching day, spring’s saturated colours entice us to revisit the rainbow at this dreary time of year. While we wait for the sun’s triumphant return, our daily dose of vitamin D comes courtesy of sunshine yellow, juicy orange, cloudless cobalt, grass green and floral fuchsia. Whether you opt for a brilliant blazer, dazzling dress or kaleidoscopic knit, now is the time to lean into the mood boosting energy brought on by a painterly palette. Here, discover the latest looks to inspire a chic, colourful closet.
Tangerine Dream
Orange is due for a comeback. Lively and intense like its colour wheel cousins, it exudes unexpected glamour, especially when used to tint timeless pieces. This classic cardigan by Rails and cashmere sweater by White + Warren are perfect examples – a minimal approach with a maximalist punch.
Cool Intentions
Blues and greens fall into the cool category of colours, said to evoke relaxation and calm. While they are ever-present pillars in many wardrobes, this season’s iterations offer something new – a commanding richness. Jason Wu’s exquisite cobalt dress, though seemingly understated, speaks to this quiet power. The same can be said for Autumn Cashmere’s spearmint sweater. Clean lines and feminine finishes lend an effortless elegance.
Rainbow Connection
The wonderful thing about fashion is that there are no hard and fast rules, especially when it comes to playing with colour. Autumn Cashmere has taken that credo to heart with their stunning watercolour sweater, awash in a garden variety of shades.
Stripes are another way to herald the return of vibrant hues. This statement sweater, also by Autumn Cashmere, channels the insouciance of luxe lines while injecting a directional detail thanks to chromatic cashmere. Still craving some structure? Toss Tagliatore’s tailored blazer in zingy lemon over your shoulders.
Tickled Pink
With the Barbie movie set to hit theatres this summer, pink’s popularity has hit fever pitch. But instead of super saccharine shades, favour deep tones of fuchsia. Jason Wu’s graphic floral print mini is a feast for the eyes, as is Tagliatore’s reinterpretation of the linen blazer in mouth-watering watermelon.
Meanwhile, White + Warren makes the case for injecting intensity into our outfits with their electric rose-coloured sweater. The simple silhouette means it will add instant sophistication to any pared back look.
