Colour Trend: Radiant Orchid – The Colour Of The Year 2014

Radiant Orchid - Pantone Colour of the Year 2014

Hi everyone,

The results are in: Pantone, the global authority on all things colour-related, has recently announced their selection for 2014’s Colour of the Year: PANTONE 18-3224, aka “Radiant Orchid”.

Radiant Orchid “encourages expanded creativity and originality,” says Pantone. When I first looked at the pictures, I have to admit that I was a bit confused. What exactly is Radiant Orchid supposed to be? This muddled colour of purple and pink with grey undertones? Isn’t that… Mauve?

Then I saw this colour swatch and was already a lot happier:

Radiant Orchid - Pantone Colour of the Year 2014

It’s actually a bit brighter than mauve with more pink and violet undertones. At the same time it is a lot lighter than the Colour of the Year in previous years (Emerald in 2013 and Tangerine in 2012), which makes it easier for more people to wear.

Check out my style advice on How To Wear The Radiant Orchid Colour.

How To Wear Pastel Pink Coats – A Tribute To Jackie Kennedy

How To Wear Pastel Pink Coats

When wearing pastel pink, all you want is to be recognized as a modern, stylish woman. Not a wanna-be princess or ballerina.

Therefore, keep the silhouette sleek and tailored and avoid anything too poufy or girly-looking. The new oversized pastel pink coats that are in store right now are just perfect.

Also, use pastel pink as the focus colour of the outfit and combine it with neutral colours like black, white, grey or with other pastel colours. Don’t try to colour-block with bright colours. It will ruin the classy effect.

And lastly, keep in mind that pastel pink is a light and cool colour. If you have warm and dark colourings in your hair, skin and eyes, then I’m sorry to inform you that pastel pink is not a good colour for you and you should stay away from it completely. (But don’t be sad, there are other iconic items that are just made for you, like the iconic MaxMara camel coat.)

With my little tribute to Jackie O, I hope to show that fashion runs indeed in cycles and essentially, nothing is ever truly new. But why reinvent the wheel when we can enjoy a classy look over years?

Here are your 3 Ways To Wear A Pastel Pink Coat… for future reference (hm, maybe I am a trend guru in the end?).
