COLOURS TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS YEAR

This year fashion analysts and enthusiasts alike are predicting a move towards the cooler and softer side of the colour spectrum for fashion. An eclectic mix of understated bright, pale, and natural-like neutral colours are being foretold to take centre stage this year. If the early year runway and red carpet trends are anything to go by, it seems they’re right. I’m hoping we can also be a part of this colour trend, so for that reason I’ve compiled a list of colour shades that are predicted to be the theme of this cooler and softer year.

1.       SAGE GREEN

Generally not thought as a fashion colour in the past, though it does come back in vogue from time to time, Sage Green is a soothing green shade whose time has come again. Sage Green is a tropical green that could best be described as nature’s neutral. It’s a classic yellow-green that could be used with anything and everything. Sage Green has a minty glow that is light in tone and blends seamlessly into any natural beauty.

2.       STRAWBERRY ICE PINK

Although some of us might believe we’ve outgrown pink for being too girly, well its back in vogue for all ages in the form of Strawberry Ice Pink. This is suggestive of a refreshing yet warm colour which is quite appealing. Subtle and charming, Strawberry Ice Pink is an ideal shade for 2015. It is a colour that evokes a feeling of being “in the pink” rather than “putting on the pink”, thus emitting a flattering and healthy glow.

3.       TANGERINE

Spontaneous and friendly, Tangerine is a juicy shade of orange that is energizing, yet not blinding to the eye. Versatile Tangerine is striking enough to stand on its own and adds vitality to a printed pattern. Good natured and friendly, but with a tangy edge, this fun-loving colour invites a smile.

4.       GLACIER GREY

Already featured this year on this blog worn by Amy Adams at the Golden Globe Awards (see here), Glacier Grey is an unobtrusive grey that contrasts and enhances; bouncing off other shades without taking away from them. Sometimes referred to as nature’s most perfect neutral, Glacier Grey is a shade that is timeless. It is a quietly assuring and peacefully relaxing colour.

5.       LAVENDER

Lavender is a tint of purple rich in nostalgia.  It’s a unique shade that adds a bit of surprise to any look and intrigues the eye. Lavender is also a creative shade; one that will add a distinctive colour pop whether worn on its own or combined with other colours.

6.       SCUBA BLUE

An invigorating shade of the all loving Blue, Scuba Blue conveys a sense of carefree playfulness. Even though a cool shade, the vibrancy of Scuba Blue adds a splash of excitement to any outfit. Scuba Blue offers a feeling of escape as it is reminiscent of a tropical ocean. This stirring and energizing shade takes us off to an exotic paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if it’s only a fantasy.
