FASHION UPDATE
Colour me birght
|
|
The
chilly season has its charms, but the first warm breeze and the joy
you feel just to be squinting again signifies the return of spring.
Bright, sun-saturated colors are a spring staple but this year the
shades look to be some of the liveliest driving inspiration from the
80s colour palette one has seen since the '80s. Don't let that scare
you. Rather than the gaudy neon-brights of that fashion-challenged
era, this current color crop is more sophisticated and wearable.
Citrus yellow, mint green, ocean blue, lilac and crimson -- these
are undeniably dazzling hues but they're also surprisingly flattering.
As with this season's big prints, it's best not to drape yourself
in blazing color from head to toe. If you like your tints just a tad
more subdued, look for pastel shades like blush pink or dusty coral.
Drop a pop of crayon color into your wardrobe with a vibrant purse
or shoe. And if the thought of overtly happy hues doesn't cheer you
up, keep an eye out for that hot new neutral, silver gray.
