Just last month, Pantone announced that “Living Coral” (Pantone 16-1546, in case you’re wondering) will be their Colour of the Year for 2019. A mix of “vibrant, yet mellowed” shade of pink, we believe that this warm hue will resonate amongst the peers of Generation Y. After all, it’s a tad more orangey than Millennial pink — the perfect refresher for the well-liked soft flamingo hue.
Below are our top picks to rock this year’s Pantone colour of the year, because there’s no better way to welcome the new year than to be dressed in the trendiest shade of the year.
Splurge:
Boasting a sleek silhouette and dark undertones, this crocodile embossed Alexander McQueen purse exudes sensuality and mystery. Let this bold purse be the centre of attention by pairing it casually with a white t-shirt and denim jeans combo.
Featuring spaghetti straps and a flowy silhouette, this viscose dress will keep you cool during the weekends. Dress this number up with a pair of strappy sandals and a straw bag when you’re heading to brunch.
Ring in the new year with a new work bag that is in a striking colour. This mini duffle bag may look small, but its roomy interior will keep your valuables safe.
Put your best foot forward by donning this pair of raspberry raffia heels. Wear them with a monochrome number to let your feet do the talking.
Made out of a slinky silk crepe material and accentuated with cream silk-satin piping, what we love about this Roksanda blouse is its cutesy bell cuffs. Contrast this piece with a pair of black wide legged pants for that touch of gravitas.
Have a dinner date? Show your man your fun and feminine side by donning this bouffant asymmetrical skirt with a delicate off-shoulder blouse.
Leather pants usually come in shades of black and white. Gucci has decided to add an unexpected twist to your typical pair with one that comes in a va va voom burnt pumpkin hue. Wear it with a white sleeveless muscle tank to allow this statement piece to shine.
Steal:
Versatile and stylish, you can carry this girly purse for both work and play. Match it with a skirt-suit for boardroom meetings, or carry it with a crochet maxi dress when you’re meeting your girlfriends for a weekend meal.
Denim skirts that are fashioned in shades of blue, black and white are so passé. Stand out from the crowd by purchasing this dusty coral piece. Rock it with a simple black t-shirt on the weekend, or with a black silk blouse for work.
A simple flat purse is an accessory that every girl should have in their closet. Complement this stylish piece with a printed floral number to elicit that #weekendvibe.
Decorated with a dainty bow detail on its upper, this pair of leather mules is tanned in a more sustainable method — suitable for those who are into environmentally-conscious fashion. Channel your inner femme fatale by dressing this pair of kicks with a statement leather dress.
A loosely fitted floral printed blouse is guaranteed to bring you comfort in Singapore’s sweltering weather. Wear it with a pair of white denim jeans and a pair of espadrille wedges for that breezy resort look.
Flaunt your curves and stay up-to-date with the trend by donning this pair of skinny jeans. Dress this figure-hugging piece up with a sleek navy blue blazer for that contrasting effect.
