6 New Colour Trends the Royal Family Wore First
Royal dressing protocols might be relaxed with every generation, but there are certain styling rules that are observed religiously by every member of the household. The main one is wearing bright, noticeable colours, so as many people as possible can spot them in the huge crowds. "I have to be seen to be believed," the queen once said, and it's a mindset she seems to have shared with every other senior royal.
Seeing as it's part of their job to wear "look at me" colours, the royal family often wear trending hues first and thus provide plenty of ideas for how to wear bright hues. This season is no exception: Princess Diana was a fan of wearing head-to-toe beige and the now-trending pistachio green, while the queen wore neon brights before they became a Kardashian-Jenner signature.
1. Beige
When it comes to colour trends this spring, there's one boring hue that's dominating: beige. Princess Diana did tonal dressing before the phrase "tonal dressing" was adopted by fashion editors, wearing stone-coloured linen suits with tan shoes and handbags.
