I’d like to begin with a lesson in French, circa grade 8. Repeat after me class, “Ombré” …let that “é” roll off your tongues. Very good. Ombré means “shading” in French, a specific type characterized by gradual colour bleeding in a specific pattern; and it just so happens to be one of the biggest spring/summer trends. If you listen carefully, you can even hear faint whispers of winter overstock – from a pair of red Juicy boots to green Kate Spade handbag - condemning their homogenized colour fates. But its all up to you SDTC readers, you can help make amends. Should the boots keep crying or are you hating this trend?
