It’s True—the Pale Blue Colour Trend Is Fashion’s New Favourite

After a season of styling rich and opulent tones, the arrival of spring calls for a fresh palette that better illustrates the mood of the brighter months. Having fixated on ruby red and deep merlot shades all winter long, this season the fashion set are reaching for a fresh new shade that cuts through the heavy tones that dominated at the beginning of 2024.

Having peppered countless designer collections including Stella McCartney and Fendi during the S/S 24 runway shows, now that spring is officially here, the colour is taking over IRL.

Cropping up in the from of elegant shoes, floaty dresses and chic knits, the colour is coming for all of our favourite items this season.
