The end of winter is on the horizon and the warmth of Spring heralds an exciting and uplifting Fashion trend – Colour! Vitamin Fashion which is already presenting in stores, is vibrant and striking with shades ranging from powerful fuchsia to deep green.
Whilst dressing in colourful clothes is easy when you aren’t working (colourful pullovers, dresses, or fluorescent-toned T-shirts), it’s usually more difficult to combine these colour blocks with the office dress code.
However, the vibrant display at the iconic fashion shows of Milan, Paris and New York dictate that the work environment is set to welcome lemon yellow, scarlet red and grass green. From jackets and trousers through to formal or semi formal environment – colours will feature!
Suits will still be made up of jackets and trousers in the same, precise nuance, or blazers and trousers matched ad personam, but there will be a play of different shades of the same colour. This Spring joy arrives in the office!
Pinks are very popular, both in the more delicate shades, such as salmon and peach, but also fuchsia, which we find on Moschino and Frankie Morello jackets, or on Valentino and Elisabetta Franchi cigarette trousers. On the other hand, the ‘Millennium pink’ – most loved by the thirty-forty-year-old generation and a catchphrase of the pre-pandemic years, is now seen as strong and full of character.
Strengthened by its winter protagonist, green also lends itself to combining blazers and trousers in the various nuances of grass, bottle, pistachio, water. Perhaps less easy to wear than pink (because how it is reflected on your complexion) it is certainly effective. This colour expresses self-confidence and a remarkable stylistic personality – much loved by Bottega Veneta.
Continuing the theme are the reds of Mauro Grifoni and the yellows of Ottod’Ame, particularly suitable for those who are not afraid of attracting attention. And purples, which this year thanks to the election of Veri Peri as Pantone colour 2022, will experience a moment of glory!
What do you wear and how do you accessorise with this brightness? Shoes and bags in neutral tones (white, black, nude effect) will be the perfect allies of iridescent suits and suits. Dark outerwear will give a softer touch to the colourful outfit. However, if the imperative is to shine, there’s no reason to hide – you may opt for particular combinations such as red and purple, green and orange, yellow and pink.
There is no question, the message is clear – the light is green for colour on colour for the uplifting and vibrant Spring Summer season of 2023!
