Pantone says the colour of the year is "Greenery". Summer always calls for the orange-reds. It's borderline Christmas-themed, but the saturated and hot hues of the green and red introduce a twist that is exclusively representative of summer and exudes those "tropical vibes". So, this summer I just cannot get enough of this vibrant colour combination. It's definitely bold as neither green or orange/red are neutrals, but that's exactly why I love it. Paired with dewy and highlighted skin along with bare eyelids (or golds for a glammed-up look), an orange-red lip stands out just enough. The contrast with an equally bold shade like green, on the clothes makes for a very different and standout combination, yet still sophisticated.
I usually opt for patterns when it comes to bolder shades, rather than wearing it my means of colour-blocking. So, tops or dresses that subtly inject the green colour is a beautiful way of incorporating it into your look (see examples below).
When it comes to the lipstick, I just cannot get enough of the Tanya Burr lipstick in "Wild Safari". It is the epitome of an orange-red that is not very matte, yet nor shiny either - just the perfect satin finish. It really is the truest summer shade!
What colour combination are you currently adoring for this summer?
