Not Black and White—The Two Surprising Colours Cool Dressers Are Wearing Together Instead

With nostalgic trends currently focusing on many of fashion's most eclectic eras (read: the cyber noughties and pop-punk 2010s), vivid hues have taken over from quiet luxury's restrained palette. From bold neons to tranquil yet impactful tones of aquamarine, almost every shade in the spectrum has had its moment in the spotlight, giving us a lineup of colour combos nothing short of exceptional.

Be it last year's pretty pink paired with sumptuous brown, or sea foam green styled with shades of blue, this summer, we're seeing in colour, but as the season draws to a close, we're ending on a high with turquoise and red.

Somewhere between the dopamine-inducing vibrancy of tomato red and the airy softness of turquoise blue is a pairing that feels perfectly balanced. It's striking without feeling overpowering, playful without sacrificing its polish.

There's a distinctly Mediterranean mood to this combo, which is perhaps why it's so appealing in the year of the Euro Summer. Reminiscent of blue skies set against terracotta rooftops and bowls of vine-ripened tomatoes by the sea, the sun-soaked mood is captured in a cool colour clash guaranteed to make you feel happier just by looking at it.

But how to wear such a statement mix? Whether you go for a sleeveless top teamed with a crochet maxi skirt or cute polka-dot capris finished with ballet flats, this pairing has been making repeat appearances across the fashion set.

With the sun holding strong for now, if you’re looking for a way to jazz up your staples, you may have just found it. Scroll on to shop the best turquoise and red pieces on the market right now.
