While I’m a firm believer that style is a personal journey and entirely up to interpretation, there are a few remaining styling tricks that I like to come back to myself. A big fan of a well-executed—and slightly unexpected—colour combination, I love it when too seemingly incompatible shades blend harmoniously, and I tend to keep an eye out for these kinds of styling opportunities when constructing outfits for myself.
A fan of a burgundy and peach pairing, and a lover of anything bright pink and red, today I spotted a new chic colour combo that you can bet I’ll be weaving into my wardrobe sometime this week. Stepping out for appointments on my home turf, actor Lily-Rose Depp was spotted in London styling a roomy chocolate brown blazer with a butter yellow dress with a pair of chicly embellished heels.

While I wouldn’t have thought to pair a rich brown hue with a soft butter yellow, there is something intrinsically appealing about this refined combination. Conjuring memories of Brownies day long gone, this elegant pairing also has a grown-up energy that imparts both a grounded and fresh silhouette.

Already seeping onto the runways, butter yellow is primed to be a huge colour trend for the Spring/Summer 2025 season. Meanwhile, chocolate brown, a hero shade of recent months, shows no signs of slowing down and is poised for an even stronger presence next season. The 16Arlington Spring/Summer 2025 and Victoria Beckham Pre-Fall 2025 collections have already paired these two hues, offering a glimpse of their potential ahead of the rest.
