Every now and then fashion magazines like to trot out the latest colour of the season to wear. And while there are colours that designers and retailers like to push each season, there are certainly some unexpected tones that will be making a cameo come the depths of winter deliveries, from icy pastels to shades of sunny yellow and chartreuse.
But what colour to wear this season? In a retail environment that's beginning to move at a frenetic pace, anything goes. Several local designers explore various hues this season that run the gamut from Zambesi's murky purple tones to the jolts of silk green at Penny Sage.
Jewel tones are a perennial autumn/winter favourite, yet always feel new as designers discover fresh ways to make the most of them.
For those that prefer to err on the side of wearing safe black, there are colours that are a little less confronting and, when approached tonally, can inspire a head-to-toe look that's polished and put-together.
