Inspired by: Robin’s Egg
It’s not every autumn that we are so completely taken by a trend that we feel compelled to do an entire post about it, but when you see something so out-of-the-box and working so perfectly, it’s pretty hard not to. We all know the common colour themes of fall and for the most part, really look forward to incorporating darker tones again after spring and summer have passed. What we don’t always expect, however, is for a vivid, pastel hue to push its way to the forefront and completely revitalize our wardrobes.
What is this colour that has us so head over heels, you ask? Robin’s egg blue!
Who said that pastels can’t work in the fall? Certainly not any of us – and after the following photos, we’re pretty sure you won’t either!
We got our first glimpses of robin’s egg blue earlier in the year during the fall fashion weeks. The cheery blue was earning its keep among the other more typical autumnal tones of burnt orange, burgundy, black and a myriad of greys. The lively pop of azure left us inspired and we hoped that this runway trend would fly all the way into our favourite shops. And it did! We felt a surge of hope when robin’s egg blue started appearing along with all the chunky knits, wool coats and scarves an autumn-lover could hope for.
If we are speaking about colour coordination, the trend makes perfect sense. A basic colour wheel will show you how complimentary blues are to the shades we most commonly associate with fall: reds, oranges, and yellows. Fashion-wise, we think it’s a perfect addition to any fall wardrobe. It’s unexpected, transitions from season to season seamlessly, and is anything but obvious.
