These 6 Colours Are the Key to an Expensive-Looking Spring Wardrobe
From street style to the runway and, of course, Pantone's predictions, when it comes to colour, there are plenty of indicators to help us understand which shades will be prominent for spring. Very Peri was crowned Pantone's colour of the year and is gaining popularity for spring/summer 2022.
On the runway, minimalist ivory was featured heavily at luxury brands including The Row, Valentino and JW Anderson, while sunset orange was a key colourway at Prada and Jacquemus. Additionally, shades of sage green and tangerine orange are already being worn by several of our favourite influencers.
Thankfully, the one thing each of these colours has in common is that they all look extremely high-end and can be worn as a statement shade to create an expensive-looking spring outfit. We definitely know we'll be wearing these for the next few months.
Keep scrolling to shop the six classic spring colours we're investing in for a luxe-looking wardrobe.
1. OCHRE

@monikhStyle Notes: Yellow clothes and accessories always make a comeback in the warmer months, but it’s a hard shade to get right. Often, it can look too twee, and other times too garish. Ochre, however, is the perfect chic balance.

@ada_oguntoduStyle Notes: Kelly green might be one of the year’s biggest trends—colour or otherwise—but in terms of classic spring colours, sage is where it’s at. The hue goes with so many other shades. I’m sure you’ll find it incredibly versatile.
