Take the runway reporting of Anna LaPlaca for Who What Wear, who lists “icy pastels” and gray (“the new It neutral color”) among the colors featured most frequently by designers. “Shades of periwinkle, lavender, mint, and light pink appeared watered down and barely there,” she writes. “I’m especially keen on trying this trend, as I just know it will play well with my wardrobe of more classic neutrals.” Pastels can be a great way to add some variety to corporate apparel programs for a fresh but timeless look, and beige has been popping up on red carpets as a neutral but fashion-forward counterpoint to the metallics and glam normally associated with celebrity events.
