Pantone’s official pick for colour of the year has been announced and is turning other favourites green with envy. No surprise really, when you consider Pantone’s colour of the year 2013 is emerald green!
Described as “lively,” “radiant,” and “lush” this gorgeous jewel tone is nothing short of refreshing and revitalizing, bringing even the most glamazon fashionistas back to natural roots. Representing heritage and energising trends alike, emerald is gender neutral and juicy to the last minute detail. Designers have made it available in every garment, accessory, shoe and jewellery piece for the choosing, allowing you to work the hue into your lifestyle however you choose. It could be just the pick-me-up your life needs to achieve the balance and harmony all those resolutions set out to provide. Go green in more ways than one this year with a little help from the fashion world’s newest obsession.
Where seasonal shades come and go, the best part about emerald is that you can wear it all year long– and not just because Pantone says so. Green works for autumn and winter holidays, and for spring and summer just as well. Emerald isn’t just some shade of the season, it’s truly a shade for every season. Few colours carry the same sense of clarity and rejuvenation, so you can count on adding in a few pops to old looks to breathe new life and style into your wardrobe.
Whether you’re looking to jump feet first into the emerald invasion or sprinkle your essentials with just a fresh burst of sparkle, we’ve rounded up your best bets for looking vivacious in verde, no matter the occasion. Available in a full-range of price points and designer brands, this is one green everyone can get their hands on. Scoop up any of these pieces to instantly revitalise and look like a million bucks.
