The watermelons, peaches and apricots have gone off. The fruit bowl is out because the colour of the season is coral. You’ll find it on blouses, skirts, dresses, shoes and jewellery and very soon, in your wardrobe. Such a sweet, summery hue is something you’ll want to get on your bod ASAP because as the days get hotter and your skin begins to glow, this colour looks better and better.
Feminine and fun, wear it on a maxi-dress for those lazy beach-side barbecues or wear it with denim as an easy way to lift a plain outfit. A fab way to wear coral is on your feet, when everything else you are wearing is neutral and toned-down. So try ballet flats or loafers in a plain or patent leather because they’ll look cute-as-a-button against a palette of beige, cream and tan.
Also try a cotton, coral ra-ra skirt with a white singlet for a laid-back but fun day-time look, or add a burst of colour to your dark evening attire with a bright coral trench over the top. And if you’re not one to wear much colour, then accessories are your friend. Big, statement, coral-jewelled rings or a coral bag is all you need to be on-trend and still be yourself!
