Colour of the year: Digital Lavender
Depicting wellness, tranquility, stability and balance, this mood-boosting hue is set to be embedded across all fashion product categories. A colour that is already established in digital culture, according to Pantone, this will be a popular choice to evoke calmness and serenity. Pair with flattering pigments such as light blues or pinks for a feminine feel.
Fruity Orange
Energetic, optimistic, and abundant – this joyful shade is great for engaging with a striking hue without being too over the top. This colour can go with many shades to create an abundance of different looks. For a modern and lively ensemble, pair with a contrasting pigment such as navy blue. However, if you prefer a classic understated look, match with complimentary tones such as beige or cream to create a flowing and summery vibe.
Blazing Yellow
Positively playful - this sunny shade emits warmth and happiness. The perfect colour for bright summer days that is sure to suit every skin tone. To create a mood lifting and bold statement, pair with a contrasting bright pink or purple. Also consider using it as a fun accessory accent. For example, a bright yellow sandal will perfectly liven up a neutral outfit.
Gleaming Green
Elegant and earthy, this harmonious hue beams an organic feel. Green has long been known as a trustworthy and consistent tone and often associated with traditional environments. Having stood the test of time, this colour is runway royalty and here to stay. Perfect for pairing with natural tones such as brown, beige or black to create a coordinated and uniform look. Also, this neutral tone is perfect for acting as an understated base allowing to be paired with bold toned accessories such as fuchsia or orange.
Electric Blue
Calming and tranquil yet striking and bold, this colour does it all. A great tone for creating royal and grandiose looks while also giving off a whimsical energy. This strong pigment is versatile and able to be moulded to your desired look. Pair with white for a tranquil and nautical theme or try neutral browns for a rich earthiness that will transition well into autumn. For a classy evening ensemble, experiment with black for a strong and majestic look.
Mariella Sandal
Garden Pink
Empowering, creative and fresh. A romantic pink is an adaptable summer hue that will flatter every person and occasion. This colour can be paired with white or lavender for a feminine appeal. Pink is also a great way to add a playful twist to neutral outfits including khakis, creams and browns. Perhaps you want to try a more vibrant colour combination such as deep purple or red – a beautiful way to mimic the outdoor summery flora.
Metallics
Traditionally a festive trend, the metallics have reappeared this summer and are here to stay all year round. Opulent, luxurious and light reflecting, this pigment option is sure to turn heads. For cool skin tones, pewter and silver options are especially complimentary. For warmer skin tones, bronze and gold are best suited. A metallic colourway is a bold enough statement on its own – try styling with neutrals such as black or white to keep your outfit seamless.
