Crowned Pantone’s colour of the year, shades of punchy purples and pastel lavenders have been spotted at the fall/winter 2019 fashion week. Ultraviolet’s not a far cry from the recent “It” colour craze, millennial pink, which also makes it easy to match pieces in your wardrobe too.

Speaking of, pink’s got an update too this season. Saturated hues make a great contrast for basic patterns and colours. Otherwise, think big by matching the most unexpected fashion wins, unfiltered by social appropriateness. Pink is a social statement anyhow, no?

We’re not usually green with envy at someone in lime, unless, of course, they are able to pull it off. It’s definitely not a colour to try for the faint of heart; try matching it with absolute basics for fresh visual juxtaposition, or risk looking like a meme in public.

Yellow yellow, fashionable fellow? There’ve been many new names for yellow, thanks to the trending power of social media and blogging, but Generation Z Yellow sticks out prominently. Is the colour a protest of fashion social norms, or just an excuse to look cool? We think both.

You can never have too many shades of blue in one outfit. In fact, blue is kind of such a staple that it gives you the opportunity to play with shades like aquamarine, and even with quirky textures like nylon, lamé or PVC. Blue might mean sad, but it’s definitely a colour that can brighten up your outfit, and ultimately your mood!
