Move Over, Pink, Yellow and Green—This Is the #1 Colour Right Now
Pink, yellow and green have been the "Instagram colours" of 2018 so far, however, all that has changed, as cheery powder blue is one of the key shades for autumn/winter. This time of year, we usually stick to a colour palette of exclusively conker browns, burnt oranges and moody greys, but sky blue is promising to make things a little brighter.
So how do you wear this dreamy shade? Thanks to the Instagram crowd, we have plenty of styling inspiration and an ever-growing shopping list. Ganni's sky-blue mohair jumpers and cardigans are at the top of our new-season wish list, along with a pair of blue Veja trainers and a Cinderella-esque party dress. Keep scrolling to see how to wear blue this season, and then shop our edit of the best pieces.
Powder Blue Coats
A powder-blue coat is more versatile than you might think, as it looks amazing with prints—especially leopard.
Powder-Blue Handbag
One of the key handbag trends for autumn/winter 2018 are totes and mini bags in vibrant bluebell shades.
Cinderella Party Dress
When it comes to party dresses, the most spectacular come in Cinderella-esque shades with lots of tulle and embellishments. Case in point? Bettina's magical Stine Goya dress.
