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. Peach Fuzz was crowned Pantone's colour of the year and is gaining popularity for spring/summer 2024.

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 luxury-looking wardrobe.

6 CLASSIC SPRING COLOURS TO TRY THIS YEAR

1. OCHRE

Style 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. Pale, buttery yellow, however, is the perfect chic balance.

2. OLIVE 

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

3. ECRU

Style Notes: What would the warmer months be without a healthy dose of cream in your wardrobe? Less stark than pure-white tones, consider it your first step in transitioning your palette from dark to light. Wear it top to toe to look the epitome of rich and unbothered.

4. TOMATO RED

Style Notes: Bright red tones are everywhere I look right now, but don’t worry—this isn’t a fleeting trend. Stick to tomato-like shades, and I promise you’ll pull them out each and every year.

5. LIGHT BLUE

Style Notes: Although shades of blue work year-round, I think they look their freshest come spring. In place of cobalt and ultra-bright shades, look to paler tones to elevate your outfits.

6. BROWN

Style Notes: Okay, so there's nothing that tethers brown hues to spring—they are a neutral after all—but I think they look their best in the soft sunlight. It's softer than black meaning it goes with every shade you can think of—use the other tones on this list as your starting point.
