Fashion

Your new season wardrobe is about to get louder.

Show of hands if your closet is currently a sea of “Oatmeal” and “Stone,” consider this your official wake-up call. As quiet luxury fades, fashion is getting fun again. At the starting point of this shift is the prevalence of primary crayon hues spotted on the SS26 runways. Seen all over Loewe, Proenza Schouler, and Valentino, these bold shades thrived in varied silhouettes, offering a much-needed break from the monotonous colour stories of black, white, and grey.

While incorporating fire-engine red or cobalt blue might feel like a shock to the system, the trick is in the execution. Introduce one statement colour as a focal point and team it with complementary tones like chocolate brown or a soft cream base. The key to truly nailing this trend? Embrace the boldness, keep the look mature, and lean on texture-heavy fabrications such as cashmere, nylon, and suede. For the brave and the seasoned pros, take it to the next level by combining two or three saturated hues—just take your styling cues from the Loewe runway.
