Pantone announced the colours for 2016 some time now; serenity and quartz. And while I whole heartedly embraced the shade quartz (lets face it, who doesn’t adore this precious shade of blush) I have to be honest but I wasn’t too enamoured with its counterpart serenity. While it is a nice enough hue, personally I’m not sure about utilising it in terms of anything sartorial. Incorporating this into homewares, yes. Adult colouring books also yes. But on clothing? I find this can be a polarising shade on some complexions. Myself included. Which perhaps is the root of my personal disdain and skeptical thoughts.
That said I can still be impartial to matter.
I was invited to curate a fashion lust-list featuring Pantone’s serenity and quartz selection. And I was rather surprised with how many pieces I began to covet over on Banggood. In particular those in the serenity shade. Something which may just have convinced me to become a lot more accepting of this colour. Like that lace skirt above. Something I’d happily wear paired with a moto jacket. Being such a stubborn creature of habit, and by staying true to my love for black, white and grey, this muted version of serenity would make for an ideal stepping stone forward. And I did say that I intended to make this a year of overcoming sartorial stubbornness and what better way then to begin with something as frivolous as this.
