Colour Guide Spring/Summer 2015 Introduction to this season’s colour story: This season we see designers embrace a refined silhouette with looser, longer-length items worn in layered styles, with femininity emphasised through a focus on the waist. Dresses continue as a popular choice for the season as well as top and bottom separates to achieve this silhouette. Look out for colour blocking as well as blending similar tones together in an outfit. Cut-out details, pretty lace, embellishments and satin finishes add a hint of luxury to summery outfits for this season. Read on to discover the direction colour is headed in the shops for Spring/Summer 2015 and see how the four seasonal House of Colour palettes will work with the different looks.
