Chartreuse is one of those colours currently enjoying it's 'moment' in the spotlight. In late 2019 online creative marketplace, Etsy, handpicked Chartreuse as it's colour of the year 2020 - predicting a spike in sales of goods made in the colour. Etsy, is in large part, known for interiors but clearly this colour is crossing over into the fashion frontier.
It's an acidic colour, reminiscent of colours seen in nature, perhaps why it works so well in the home. Helping to create an inviting living space which is also refreshing. In terms of fashion, it offers a welcome move on from the highly over-commercialised 'neon' trend which was prevalent the past couple of years. It's still bold, and the wearer still needs to exude natural confidence, but it doesn't have the same connotations as neon. With neon, we think streetwear and festival attire, but with chartreuse it will sit easier in your wardrobe. Whilst on the runway it was seen in full head-to-toe looks, this need not be the case for your own styling. A chartreuse knit could, for example, be styled with more muted tailored pieces.
