Last week I finally braved the inclement weather and got myself out and about with the aim of researching the new Spring 2020 colours and styles that are currently on display in the stores.

Even though the core of my wardrobe is comprised of my best neutrals, each season I usually add a couple of pieces in my most flattering colours. This may be as simple as a scarf or a piece of costume jewellery.

This year I would like to add some green. It used to be one of my favourite colours however I have not had many green pieces in my wardrobe for some years.

As I wandered around I saw a variety of shades of green from the cool to the warm tones. The favourite tone seemed to be “apple green” probably a bit warm toned for me however would look stunning if you like light bright warm colours.

I may well fall for one of these gorgeous light blues. Definitely one of my favourite colours. Maybe a tee shirt or a lightweight sweater.

I saw lots of soft pinks. It is a colour that goes extremely well with silver grey.

Stripes continue to be popular, usually in classic cream and blue combinations.

I love this bright purply blue. There were also several shades of camel and beige.

Monochrome is never out of fashion.

Yellow was another colour that appeared in most of the stores I visited. A touch of yellow can look stunning to lift a neutral outfit.

Soft apricot and light orange were also in evidence. Again a good colour to lift an outfit.

More “apple green”. I also noticed unusual colour combinations which I will be exploring in future posts.

New seasons Spring scarves at chicatanyage scarf shop reflect many of these colour combinations.

I particularly noticed the mixture of unusual colour combinations. I will be exploring and playing around with this further in future posts.

Spring 2020 colours

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.
