Reminscing The Rose

God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December- J. M. Barrie.

And just like that we’ve had such memories translated into fashionable concepts, so that we might have roses at any time of the year! Undoubtedly, the rose flower has from time immemorial earned the favorite spot with many women. The colours that can be associated to a rose are multifarious which absolutely justifies its relevance to clothing.

Just think of the possibilities that a rose has to offer. There’s white and there’s black. And there are all the colours between that. Colourfully speaking, you could wear anything and fit into the ‘rosy picture’.

However, when we’re speaking of such a broad spectrum of hues, tints and shades, fitting into the theme might not be easy. There’s always the task of getting the look right. Also, setting aside the classics, what hues to choose is a fashion conscious decision to make.

Wear Withered Rose- A deeper hue that tilts towards a smoky purple, this colour will look different and complements all complexions. A sheer top or coloured denims in this hue is ‘rosy’, not obvious.

Print Porcelain Rose- Oversized and washed out rose prints are a flamboyant way to flaunt the trend. Prints in this bubbly colour are cheerful and perfect for spring. Opt for a top with oversized rose print or denims with a washed out print for a blithe and fun look.

Smear Salmon Rose- This girly and mirthful colour is perfect for makeup. A lip colour, gloss or matte nail paint is just what you need. Keep the whole look nude and basic to get this look right.

Carry Coral Rose- Accessories in this colour are an interesting way to portray your flowery mood. Flower embellished head accessories are pretty and minimal. You can don garbs in neutrals and accessorize with this lively colour for a fresh appeal.

Even if you wish to dress up in a monochrome look, you can celebrate the favorite flower. Keep these colours in mind this Spring/Summer and you’re certainly in for a rose revival!
