Look great in greys
Sustainability has been a massive theme on the runways for a good few years now, yet the colours on show have often gone against a mood of caution and care.
That’s why the adoption of grey shades is an interesting shift in 2022, with designers intimating the colour represents a change of pace, where thought and intelligence in grey knocks back the buoyant, acidic tones that patterned the shop windows in previous years.
Black to basics
While, in the past, black has found itself mixed with bright shades to provide contrast, for the latter months of 2022 the message is to embrace the very darkest, deepest and shiniest elements of this moody colour. Ink blacks are the perfect exemplar of this image according to the fashion houses, with a typically neutral colour being encouraged to take centre stage.
Keeping in with pinks and purples
Once considered the choice of the very old, the very young or the reckless, pinks and purples are very much in.
From dusky and elegant pinks at Marc Jacobs, to more violent blue and peach shades at Matty Bovan, the beautifully coloured tones have spread right the way through to hair colour.
Nature’s nod
Any kind of green or blue shade generally feels more outrageous when it comes to our clothes colours, but these can still retain a feminine edge, particularly when you choose a lighter tint.
And don’t forget about… white
While other colours and tones may be tipped to dominate, the old favourite white will always be cleaning up in the background. Famously versatile, endlessly expressive and with more shades and variations than any other colour, the only downside to white is the washing powder bill!
