The Colour That's Big in Paris Right Now Is Not Millennial Pink

Although we’ve just seen a wash of pretty pastels on the runway with the likes of Chanel, Miu Miu and Bottega Veneta showing at Fashion Week, rest assured, when it comes to putting outfits together, bright bold colours are taking the win. (Trust us) We’ve seen some of our favourite women wear cobalt blue, proving the colour is equally striking and everlasting.
An update to the colour blocking trend, we’re seeing bright colours make a statement all on their own, or alternatively, solo with an accessory that stands out against a minimal and neutral outfit. Bold colour in 2017 is also playing up extreme textures, such as daring vinyl (see it on Caroline Daur below).
If you’re worried about whether you’d suit the impressive shade, cobalt blue does actually suit all skin tones, making it a perfect choice to dive into the bold colour trend. We’re predicting a huge couple of months of print and textures, so make sure you keep up with Who What Wear Australia this spring and summer to see all the street style action.
