Embrace mood-boosting shades of colour for holiday nights out …
Step out of your holiday wardrobe comfort zone and inject the joyful mood of the SS22 runway into your summer suitcase. How? Embrace brights – the five shades to prioritise above the rest are powder blue, tangerine orange, bright pink, daffodil yellow and pistachio green – and channel Farrah Fawcett. Yes, there’s more than a soupçon of the 1970s about, with swirly patterns, tie-dye, pussy-bow blouses and tiered maxi-skirts returning to haunt, sorry, delight, us! Bright Pucci-style prints are popping up too – not for the wardrobe wallflower. If you need to flip a switch on your usual suitcase staples, vivid colour will help get you into a holiday state of mind, even before you take off.
