Choose pure bright fuchsia, emerald green, bright orange, sunshine yellow, scarlet, rich royal blues (maybe with a hint of indigo), purple, or neons and you have a potent colour mix.<\/p>\n<p>And talking of mix, what\u2019s particularly interesting about many of these colour stories is <strong>the way designers are\u00a0<em>combining<\/em>\u00a0colours<\/strong>. These shades may make a statement as allovers, but in combinations they look even stronger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Labels are mixing neutrals\/classics, pastels and brights with other neutrals\/classics<\/strong>, or offering us intriguing combos of bright-neutral, classic\/pastel, bright-on-bright and more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_129256\" style=\"width: 669px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-129256\" class=\" wp-image-129256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/soft-colour-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"SS20 Colour\" width=\"659\" height=\"494\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-129256\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soft toned: Awake Mode, Prada, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Burberry, Giorgio Armani, Dolce &amp; Gabbana<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One strong combo option\u00a0<strong>soft-toned neutrals\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0<strong>pales with an edge<\/strong>.

There\u2019s a must-have \u2018bad taste\u2019 element here with plenty of non-matching brights \u2014 maybe a purple top and black skirt given an unexpected twist with green hosiery. The purity of black and white serves to highlight the intense shades with which they\u2019re combined and also adds a commercial edge to what could be a tough colour story to carry off.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, for those with the confidence, the pure power of\u00a0<strong>bright contrast<\/strong>\u00a0(see top image is something we\u2019ll see a lot of next season, It might be purple and orange, emerald and lavender, fuchsia and scarlet, orange and yellow, rich blue and vibrant green.
