THESE CLEVER

COMBINATIONS TO TRY!

The Pantone Colour

Institute has announced

that the colour of 2020 is

the beautiful ‘Classic Blue’

so expect to see it all over

the shops! Other key colour

trends include pairing aqua

with bright navy and a

touch of cream if you suit

bright warm colours.

Opt for moss green and

a saffron or mustard if

you have a rich,

Autumn palette.

On the other hand if

you look gorgeous in

bright cool colours then

slide on an on-trend bold

scarlet red worked

alongside a neutral such as

charcoal, white or black.

Cool Summers look

effortlessly stylish in this

season’s lilac and purples

with a dash of gorgeous

silver jewellery!

“Everyone has shades of blue that

suit them but some of us have

slightly more of a blue tone to our

skin and will either suit soft and

blended blues such as air force

blue or powder blue, or icy,

jewel-like blues like royal or

electric blue. Warm-toned skin

types will still suit certain warm

blues such as bright navy,

aquamarine or kingfisher.”

NEUTRALS

“Neutrals are an important

part of our wardrobe. Autumn

colour palettes suit rich,

warm earthy colours, whilst

Springs suit warm,

clear colour choices

like chocolate, dove

grey, bright navy,

honey and cream.

Winters look gorgeous

in deep, cool colours

such as silver, black

and stone and Summers

suit cool, subtle

neutrals such as

mushroom, soft

navy and burgundy.

Neutral has never

been less neutral!”

YELLOWS

“Most of us can wear a

yellow. Think about the

difference between warm

vivid sunflowers, versus

cool acid yellow or

rich, warm shades of

yellow such as saffron,

mustard and amber. For

some it can be easier

to wear a small amount

of yellow rather than

the whole Emma Stone

sundress look but it is

such a happy colour!”
