So, what’s the colour vibe this season?
Honestly? It’s a whole mood. WGSN is calling it Acceleration. Shades that keep up with our crazy-fast lives while still making us look fabulous! From shadowy darks to winter brights, the runways this season were basically a masterclass in using contrasts in totally fresh and exciting ways. And just so you know, these aren’t random picks! WGSN is like the Miranda Priestly of colour forecasting! When they say a shade is in, it’s only a matter of time before it shows up in your wardrobe. Translation? If you’re eyeing a dress in these shades, Westside’s already serving those shades straight off the runway.
Sounds dramatic! Which ones are we talking about?
Babe, the line-up is pure theatre. There’s this dreamy blue-purple called Future Dusk, and it’s giving late-night mystery and femme-fatale energy. Celestial Yellow? She’s the golden girl. Like wearing your own personal sunshine. She glows even when the sky’s grey! Cherry Lacquer is the kind of red that turns dinner into a love story. Retro Blue? Calm, collected, like the friend who always bails you out! And Neon Flare? She doesn’t walk in, she storms in! And honestly, you’re just trying to keep up.
So how do these colours actually look on dresses?
Picture a runway moment every time you step out. Future Dusk as a slinky satin slip? Mysterious, like candlelight in fabric form. Celestial Yellow knitted mini? Pure serotonin on a grey morning. Cherry Lacquer in velvet maxi? Red-carpet drama, with the paparazzi clicks. Retro Blue shirt dress? Sharp, clean, the kind that whispers effortless. And Neon Flare in sequins or bodycon? She’s the party no one forgets. These aren’t just colours on fabric. They’re characters, and every dress is a story waiting to be told.
Okay. But how do I actually wear them?
That’s easy girl! Just think of them as your mood board in motion! Future Dusk – layer it with a leather jacket and boots for instant edge. Celestial Yellow loves chunky knits and sneakers. Perfect for those coffee-run-to-catch-up days. Cherry Lacquer begs for a swipe of lipstick and heels. Let’s face it, she’s not here for subtle. Retro Blue plays well with blazers and loafers, making her your 9-to-9 saviour. And Neon Flare? Keep everything else minimal and let her do the shouting. She’s the main act. You’re just along for the applause.
Should I be stocking up?
Absolutely. AW’25 is all about colour with emotion. Basically, dresses that match your mood. One day you’re mysterious in Future Dusk, the next you’re radiant in Celestial Yellow. These shades aren’t just trends, they’re instant confidence. And Westside? Already serving the edit your wardrobe’s been manifesting.
