New year, new colour(s)! Here's how to look stylish in Pantone's pastel-perfect colours of 2016
Move over, Marsala. With 2015 done and dusted, it’s time for two new colours to take centre stage this year. And the experts at Pantone have finally spoken – the colours of 2016 are…(drumroll, please) Rose Quartz and Serenity.
Talk about pastel perfection! Take note, folks, because you’ll definitely be seeing plenty of these rose pink and tranquil blue hues in the next 366 days. Not that we’re complaining – it’s the perfect excuse to go shopping, dontcha think?
Need pointers on how to incorporate Rose Quartz and Serenity into your wardrobe? Here are some handy tips on how to rock these colours and look hella stylish while you’re at it.
1. Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise
What’s the easiest way to Pantone-ise your outfit without going overboard? Accessories! If your look needs a quick injection of Rose Quartz and Serenity, add subtle pops of colours – whether with a sleek bucket bag, a stylish timepiece or a killer pair of sunnies.
2. The luxe effect
To keep your look fresh for 2016 – and avoid looking like a five-year old – opt for tailored silhouettes and rich fabrics like silk, lace, leather, and suede for that luxe effect.
3. Dive into your make up stash
If you already own the perfect pink lipstick or blue eyeshadow, now’s the time to whip ’em out! If not, Sephora’s got you covered with the Sephora + Pantone Universe makeup collection that’s pure pastel heaven. (Psst…the collection is only available online for a limited time only, so grab it quick!)
