Ultra Violet: How to wear Pantone’s 2018 Colour of the Year this Christmas
updated the 3 May 2019 à 02:53P.S. It’s a lot more wearable than you think.
“Ultra-violet” is officially the 2018 colour of the year according to Pantone, who described the shade as “dramatically provocative and thoughtful” in its announcement. “This shade is one of nonconformity,” shares Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone. “People are looking for ways to display creativity.”
And nonconforming it certainly is – at least, sartorially. To ease yourself into wearing this shade, start with a statement ultra-violet accessory – like a pair of boots or earrings – to accent a casual denim look. But if you’re one to dabble on the more experimental side of fashion, go for an ultra-violet separate – like a pair of stunning culottes or bold metallic dress.
Whichever style route tickles your fancy, one thing’s for sure: this is certainly not the colour to shy away from in a party. Browse our favourite ultra-violet fashion pieces you can wear this festive season in the gallery above!
