Styling Very Peri for men

-

FOR the longest time, colours have been playing a subjective role in people’s lives.

They have been used to predict certain events of the times, as well as to symbolise significan­t moments. However, the significan­ce they have in the world of fashion and art is incomparab­le. Especially, when it comes to the fashion industry, we cannot even imagine one without all the vibrant colours in the universe.

So every year the Pantone Colour Institute comes up with a colour to capture and represent the essence of a specific year.

And this time, Pantone has announced “Very Peri” as 2022’s Colour of the Year. A dynamic periwinkle blue with a vivifying violet and red undertone, the shade is described as one of the “happiest and warmest of all the blue hues”.

It also perfectly represents everything from the transforma­tive times we are living in to the rise of the metaverse and encourages courageous creativity as well as imaginativ­e expression.

All of these together make Very Peri an intriguing shade that has been successful­ly tickling every fashionist­a’s curiosity to the max.

If you are someone who is averse to colours, but still wants to be a part of the trend, style your Very Peri piece of clothing with black or white items. Or you can add a little pastel yellow to your outfit to make it casual and more fun.

To further assist you in your journey of flaunting your fashionabl­e self in shades of violet and blue, fashion designer Sakshi Shrivastav­a shares 5 ways to wear the Colour of the Year: Chill in style

From easy layers and everyday sweats to joggers and even co-ords, you can pick your Very Peri from the wide spectrum of comfortabl­e lounge wear – the trendiest item of the season – and feel stylish while you are chilling with your friends or just by yourself. Keep it casual chic

Adding yellow to your Very Peri outfit could be a fun way to give it a casual touch. You can wear a periwinkle cardigan or an over-shirt over

a lemon yellow T-shirt, and a pair of denim pants. Complete the ensemble with a grey beanie and a pair of white sneakers, and there you have the perfect casual chic look.

The effortless trendsette­r

If you are someone who likes to play it safe with colours and does not want to go all-out experiment­ing with bold looks, you can always pair this refreshing shade of purple-blue with black.

Wear a Very Peri polo T-shirt with your favourite pair of black or blue jeans for a simple yet fresh look.

Add an extra pop of colour with your sneakers, and complete the look

with a chic pair of sunglasses.

Vibrant bottoms supremacy If you are already tired of donning periwinkle tops, how about giving the bottoms a chance to shine in Very Peri?

From pants to socks and even underwear, wear your new favourite shade in anything you like, and make heads turn like a total boss.

The tonal look

Considerin­g how popular purple has been over the years, you might also have a few existing violet pieces in your wardrobe.

Bring all of them together, and use the year’s coolest colour for a tonal look, or you can even go for a mix- and -match style challenge by sporting prints on prints.

Do not forget to complete it with a pair of shoes and accessorie­s in muted shades to balance out the entire look. | IANS
