Summer Fashion is about Self Expression by Kim Ariesen, Owner of Studio Style Fashion trends are often identified by the use of colour, style and appearance. This summer displays a timeless trend that brings back simplicity and classic designs shown in coastal styling, quiet detailing, chic dressing and with the
use of natural fabrics in cotton and linen. Discover the exciting mix of colours, colour schemes and the use of colour for self- expression. Summer’25 explores these designs and provides the right combinations of choices to make it happen! Colour is a key component to each season and Summer’25 offers a variety. Soft hues and mid-tone shades are showcased but there are also full saturated colours for a ‘pop’ of colour that add depth to this summer’s colour lineup. The juxtaposition of light and dark tones adds interest and the excitement of the 80’s colour palette is here! 1. Powdery shades: petal pink, tranquil blue and aqua green 2. Neutral tones: soft ivory, sand, sage and khaki 3. The classics: white, navy, red and black 4. Citrus colours: yellow, tangerine, lime and pink grapefruit 5. And anything blue! Mocha Mousse is the colour of the year laid out by the Pantone Color Institute. Laurie Pressman, VP of Pantone, likes this neutral and the ‘harmonious’ approach that mocha mousse gives. The lighter version of this colour in shades of sand, stone and blush are highlighted for this summer.
