Trend: Soft & pretty shades of coral

To continue the discussion of Tropical Colors (which dominates the Spring/Summer 2009 Color Wheel), if you prefer softer shades, coral pink has your name on it!

Coral stands out as a terrific transitional colour, as it looks amazing with black (for early spring evenings when the nights are cool), and when summer whites kick in, you won't find a more flattering combination than coral & white! If you want to add just a splash, consider a pretty little cardigan, or asymmetric ruffle top (shown below).

To accessorize in coral, you can wear it in it's original form! Kenneth Jay Lane has a gorgeous line of new coral jewellery (most notably seen on Cheryl Cole last week!).

When Freida Pinto opened the new Liberty store in London, she showed us just how to wear coral & black, in a dynamite strapless Dries Van Noten dress. Editor picks below
