Into The Blue
This season’s standout soft shade is sky blue. The key to mastering the delicate hue is to wear it in tougher iterations. Opt for structured fabrics and edgier shapes, like a moto jacket.

Green Goddess
Verdant shades from seafoam to emerald hit the Spring 2018 runways, ensuring that you’ll find one perfect for you. If your skin has cool undertones, choose blue-based greens, like teal. If you have warm undertones, look for shades with yellow in them, like moss.

Pink Lady
Blushing millennial pink isn’t going anywhere this spring. Embrace your girlie side by wearing it from head to toe; the monochromatic palette works day or night, polished or playful.

Orange Crush
Intense? Yes. Wearable? Absolutely. To successfully wear orange, pair it with simple colours, like khaki, denim, white or navy. If you like prints, keep them monochromatic and graphic.
Fashion note: Forget basic black and khaki. Instead, liven up your outerwear with a bright
pop of colour.

Yellow Light
Yellow is an optimistic colour that will surely get you noticed. If you’re new to the sunny shade, try it in a trouser or skirt, then contrast it with a neutral top.
Fashion note: If you doubt your ability to pull off canary with your complexion, dial down the intensity by wearing a golden yellow instead.

Red Alert
Statement-making red is often associated with look-at-me appeal. But this season, it’s being worn less as a showoff shade and more of a confidence builder. Make a red dress wearable for everyday by layering it with denim.
