Move over, Emerald. Pantone has spoken and decreed the colour to be soo last year.
The hue for 2014: Radiant Orchid.
What does that really mean in non-fashion speak? Think Singapore’s national flower – an unabashedly bright purple with pink undertones. We love how feminine yet feisty this shade is, so naturally, we shopped around for some radiant beauties that’ll (definitely) make an appearance in our wardrobes very soon!
Every outfit needs a good foundation and we think sexy lingerie like the L’Agent by Agent Provocateur Monica lingerie set (US$66) is a pretty solid way to start. It even comes with a garter belt, for days when you’re feeling a little saucy.
Add some colour into your normally drab office wear with the the Lipsy bodycon dress (£50) – just throw on a boyfriend blazer and you’re good to go! The gorgeous Calla skirt (US$248) hits the right spot with its playful cut and bold peony print. Perfect for a night out on to town or for lounging on your couch, the dual-toned La Senza tank top (CAD$5) is one versatile wardrobe must-have.
If your outfit needs a quick injection of Radiant Orchard, grab these hot accessories pronto! With its roomy size, the Botkier Honore Small Hobo bag (US$445) is perfect for mums and girls-on-the-go. We’ve got dibs on acne Khole suede slippers (CAD$244) – finally, a pair of comfy, killer shoes that won’t murder our feet! The finishing touches that’ll rock any outfit: AJ Morgan Cookie Cateye Sunglasses ($14), the handmade Purls hand woven yarn necklace (US$116) and a slick of Topshop lipstick ($19) in Straight Ace.
