When it comes to fashion’s most overlooked hue, mint easily takes the top spot. However, things look this season, with the invigorating shade spilling streets and turning up as bold accents on ensembles. A sprinkling of mint adds a refreshing lift to a wardrobe composed of black and denim separates. Mixed with puritan white and polished silver, the colour is a welcome jolt to the senses in a sea of saturated brights or solemn monochromes. For strong contrast, throw in touches of teal or turquoise—a skinny belt that wraps the waist in a delicate embrace, or a furry bag that adds a tactile dimension, should do the trick.
