Picking a favourite colour is very much like falling in love. With you favourite pop singer or rock band that is. You stand behind them every step of the way, never questioning what they do. You buy their merchandises and believe in them wholeheartedly. It is a reflection of your personality. But more than that, it also determines the colour scheme of your wardrobe. The decision between getting that pair of jeans or not could very well boil down to the choice of colour.
So with that in mind, we present to you the top 10 colours that made an impact in 2015. If your favourite colour made it on, congrats. You’ve been staying at the forefront of fashion trends for the whole of this year. But if your favourite colour isn’t on this list, fret not. It is never too late to change camps. Besides, it could very well mean that you’re on trend for the new year ahead.
1. Navy Blue
Navy blue is certainly the new black. This rich and cool hue lends a subtle pop of brightness and colour in your wardrobe while allowing you to stay sophisticated and classic. All without the harshness from the usual black.
2. Nude Beige
Makeup products aren’t the only industry seeing a surge in popularity for pale or nude colours. The colour beige has been adopted by the fashion industry and donning it right can help you exude a clean, modern and chic look.
3. Blush Pink
There is something about this bright shade of colour that makes it a perrenial favourite among most women out there. And it is easy to understand why. This joyous and sweet colour immediately makes anyone who wears it feel happy and feminine.
4. Off White
This non-colour is the perfect way to mix up a monochromatic wardrobe and help spice things up without adding too much drama. The light and soft hues can help you achieve a finished and subdued look that doesn’t border on boring or sad.
5. Silver
Going for this metallic and futuristic colour is a sure-fire way to make sure you turn heads, and for the right reasons. This colour, when borrowed on fabric, creates an almost iridescent effect that lends itself some quiet drama.
6. Gold
This is the ultimate colour of luxury and richness. Gold is high on the drama and glamour factor, and is perfect for special events and occasions when you want to look different. After all, our eyes are drawn to shiny objects, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself the golden girl of the occasion.
7. Storm Grey
There is no doubt that this colour lies somewhat in a grey area — people usually see it as either looking boring and dull or slick and modern. We would like to think that this trusty colour is just like its name — allowing you to make a loud fashion statement in a sea of calm.
8. Maroon
Maroon is one mysterious colour that adds just a hint of sultriness. Those who dare pander to its fantasy and lure will find this warm colour surprisingly flattering for most figures, yet strong enough to command attention.
9. Cream
Enough of loud and bold colours. Sometimes, the most eye-catching pieces are those that are soft and light, like the colour cream. As delicious as it sounds, this colour certainly is a feast for the eyes, giving you a look of radiance and glow.
10. Light Grey
For a colour that is commonly thought to be understated and unassuming, the light grey has made it on the list. But far from being a wallflower, this classic and safe colour choice is one that will never let you down.
