Last week, Pantone announced [1] the two colours of 2021, and they perfectly capture our current feelings. The selected Illuminating and Ultimate Gray shades embody the anxiety and subdued optimism we've felt throughout 2020, as we wrestled with a pandemic [2], a racial reckoning [3], and a heated election season [4].
As the colour-lover I am, the bright yellow shade speaks to me the most. If it has the same effect of making you smile or it happens to be your favourite colour, you'll love the fashion guide I've curated ahead. From a colourful headband to a chunky pair of boots, bring the sun to your wardrobe with these styles.
