These 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 2023.
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.
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.
The bag every editor wants in one of 2022’s standout hues.
The wrap-around detail is a major top trend this season.
2. SAGE

@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.
I’ve had my eye on this blazer for so long.
The simplest way to incorporate colour into your outfits is with a handbag.
Tick off two trends in one with a pair of sage silky trousers.
3. ECRU

@sasha.meiStyle Notes: What would the warmer months be without a healthy dose of white and cream in your wardrobe? Wear it top to toe to look the epitome of rich and unbothered.
Puff sleeves never fail to make an impact.
These will pair just as beautifully with an slider sandals as they will metallic heels.
4. TANGERINE

@smythsistersStyle Notes: Bright-orange tones are everywhere I look right now, but don’t worry—this isn’t a fleeting trend. Stick to juicy tangerine shades, and I promise you’ll pull them out each and every year.
I'd never have guessed this suit came from the high street.
5. COBALT

@cocobeauteaStyle Notes: Although shades of blue work year-round, I think they look their freshest come spring. In place of pastel shades, look to classic cobalt tones to elevate your outfits.
There's nothing I love more than an outfit in one.
6. LILAC

@styleidealistStyle Notes: This specific shade of purple was prevalent in too many collections for it to be an accident. Not only is it on-trend, but it's one of those rare colours it's generally agreed suits all complexions and hair colours.
These are M&S, so you know they're going to be incredible comfortable.
Pastel blazers are trending in a big way this year.
