THIS SEASON’S BIGGEST COLOUR MIGHT SURPRISE YOU

Move over chocolate brown – there’s another edible shade ruling the autumn/winter playbook. It might not be the obvious choice, but chartreuse has become one of the must-have shades this season. A vibrant blend of yellow and green, named for its resemblance to the French liqueur, this eye-catching colour is everywhere right now. Whether it’s standout moments on the Gucci and Prada catwalks early this year, or red-carpet nods thanks to Emma Stone and the Hadid sisters, rich chartreuse pieces are taking over. And while the colour certainly commands attention, it’s surprisingly easy to wear.

‘We’re loving this bold and expressive shade,’ says Emma Farrow, Head of Design. ‘It acts as a mood enhancer, especially as we transition into winter, and proves its versatility when paired with neutrals.’ Injecting a welcome pop of warmth and brightness into our cold-weather roster, chartreuse offers a fresh contrast that feels ‘modern, wearable and energising.’ Think of it as a kale smoothie for your wardrobe – the straight-and-narrow sister of summer’s brat green.
If you’ve spotted this opulent tone and fancy incorporating it into your everyday looks, we’ve pulled some of our favourite ways to wear chartreuse this winter. So whether you’re looking to pep up your office ensembles or fancy turning heads at your next dinner date, keep scrolling for the only guide to chartreuse you’ll ever need.

This stunning dress from ARRANGE makes a statement all on its own. But why not toughen up your go-to gown with some black leather accessories? Chartreuse lends itself to unexpected combos, so don’t be afraid to push the proverbial boat out when styling it. And with a heeled boot this sharp? Nobody will be crossing you in a hurry.

TAILORING

Crisp silhouettes are go-tos this time of year, be it for corporate events or the annual stream of formal gatherings. You might not feel like a yellow-green blazer for your next outing, but layering chartreuse into your usual tailored ‘fits adds a depth only the most experienced dressers would usually handle. Opt for deep browns to balance the vibrancy whilst keeping your overall look firmly in autumnal territory. The addition of a black trouser and patent loafers is the perfect cut-through to balance your look and prevent it from looking too swampy.

A KNIT

Knits are a vital investment at this time of year, but that doesn’t mean you should stick to neutrals. A few bright and bold jumpers are a great way to mix up your layering roster and create the illusion of a sprawling wardrobe in just a few tweaks. This chartreuse cardigan has a clean boxy shape, which offsets the out-there shade. Plus, everyone knows a barrel-leg jean is the latest must-have trouser – hitting you at the waist for a flattering silhouette that lets the knitwear do the talking.

A COAT

If we’re talking knitwear, we might as well touch on coats. Like the former, outerwear tends to lean more neutral given its capacity to overwhelm a look. But this also makes it prime real estate for making a statement. And given faux fur is everywhere right now, why not go all-out with this chartreuse number? A bright yet flattering shade, this is an enviable finishing touch for any dark, earthy outfits. There’s no way you won’t make an impression if you turn up in this.

ACCESSORIES
