These Are The 3 Colours You Need In Your Wardrobe Stat

Dubbed ‘the new Valentino pink’ by those in the know, this season sees vibrant shades of red take centre stage. But if you’re low-key freaking out at the thought of head-to-toe firetruck red, you’re in luck – designers and tastemakers are turning to the food wheel to inspire a fresh take on spring dressing. We’re talking the juicy, sun-ripened red made viral by TikTok’s Tomato Girl trend, or sweeter, softer shades à la strawberry makeup. With everyone from Rihanna to Hailey Bieber giving red their seal of sartorial approval, we can’t wait to work this bold yet timeless colour into our rotation. 

Once the poster child for ‘too hard to pull off’, yellow is finally having its well-deserved moment in the sun. Ease into the trend with shades of butter yellow and soft sorbet, teaming with spring-friendly neutrals like flax, cream and cool grey. If you like your yellow with a little more zing, we’re loving the vibrant citrus shades seen all over LemonTok. Embrace the shade with a matching yellow set or punchy lemon print, or dip a toe into the trend with one hero accessory. 

If red’s too bold and yellow’s too… yellow, you’ll love this season’s penchant for purple. Soft shades of lavender and lilac are perfect for welcoming warmer weather, striking that balance between fresh and feminine. A purple dress is the ultimate event-ready silhouette, and needs little more than some fine jewellery and dewy makeup to land you the title of best-dressed guest. Lilac heels are an unexpected yet effortless way to work the colour into your everyday rotation – look for mules and strappy sandals that can take you from day to night just as easily as your neutrals can.
