A few years ago, I had my “colours done,” which involved various fabric swatches draped around my neck to show how they worked (or didn’t work) with my skin tone. I very much believe that if you like a colour, you should wear it, as there are really no rules in fashion—at least none that I encourage. Still, if you’re faced with a piece you love in various colours, where do you begin? It’s easy to stick to reliable base colours of black, white and grey, but for those looking to add more colour to their wardrobe, there’s one hue out there that suits all skin tones, and Meghan Markle has proven just how brilliant this colour is: primary red.
Every few months, we get a sighting of Meghan Markle and are reminded of just how stylish she is. Whether meeting up with feminist pioneers or attending sporting events, she seamlessly balances trending styles and classic combinations. Stepping out at the opening ceremony of the One Young World Summit in head-to-toe Valentino, Markle reminded me of the power of red. It’s bold, striking and, according to the experts, the one colour that everyone can wear. What’s more, it just so happens to be one of 2022’s biggest colour trends.
