Some runway trends don’t become clear until at least the third week of fashion month, but others are so dominant that you can call them after only attending one or two shows. Almost every single collection I’ve seen this London Fashion Week has had one key colour—an acid green—that I just know will be the colour of spring 2020.
This certainly isn’t a classic shade, but the brands that are implementing it are making it feel easy to wear. Victoria Beckham, Rejina Pyo and Molly Goddard had subtle flashes of this shocking lime paired with neutral colours. VB had bright-green roll-necks set against camel tailoring, while Molly and Rejina used this colour via their accessories with bright-green satin flats and strappy sandals. The Rejina Pyo knot bag instantly made its way onto my own personal shopping list in this new colourway.
This is the shade I’ve bookmarked the most this week, but there are other greens in the mix too should such acidic hues turn you off. From bold, grassy shades to a softer sea-foam, there is no doubt that this is a trend that will translate into our actual wardrobes because I've already seen so many editors and influencers wearing it to the shows—mere hours after it hits the runway. From manicures to minidresses, this is the colour that the Instagram crowd is backing way ahead of time.
