No matter if I find a new purchase in the sales at a pleasingly discounted price, or if I saved up to get the investment piece I’ve had my eye on for a while, I always expect anything I spend my hard earned money on to look (and feel) like a million dollars. It could be a plain white t-shirt or a luxurious cashmere knit, but whether you’ve spent £20 or £200, the results should always be the same–that you feel comfortable and confident in whatever you’re wearing.
With that in mind I always shop with a critical eye, thinking about the fabrication and construction of an item, and having picked up a few styling tips on the recurring pieces that look the most expensive, I can spot an investment piece from a mile off, but how can you keep up with trends and shop sensibly? The answer is simple.
Fresh, new colour trends can instantly update your look, and as much as sticking to what you know suits you can eliminate the chances of a fashion faux pas, taking risks with colour pays off more often than not. After recently taking stock of my wardrobe and counting an unfeasible amount of blue jeans and long-sleeved tops in just about every colour of the rainbow, I decided to re-evaluate the contents based on the runway’s strongest (and most luxurious) colour trends in a bid to strengthen my wardrobe, and the results were surprising.
According to the S/S ’23 runways and the outfit choices of some of Instagram’s most stylish, there are some very strong colour trends happening right now that are too good to ignore. Expect some reoccurring staples (neutrals of course), and a few surprises (those who hate green, prepare yourselves), because after a very deep dive into the colour palettes of the best dressed, I’ve emerged with 8 expensive-looking colour trends that are going to change the way you dress now, and for the rest of the year. Scroll on to see this season’s trending tones and how influencers are wearing them now.
