It’s not just about ready-to-wear style this SS17, as followers of fashion think more about a polished finish, ensuring every last detail complements their final look. With this in mind and the new season just around the corner, Pen Heaven have handpicked their favourite stationery shades to help you stay on top of the trends throughout the warmer months. Hot Pink is the colour du jour, the brighter the better if Valentino is anything to go by (see below), along with Canary Yellow, Lapis Blue and some Nudes thrown in for good measure. For seriously cool stationery style, read on…

Hot Pink

Pink in every shade can be seen all over the catwalks, with both Chanel and Givenchy confirming it’s the shade of the summer. Why limit it to your clothes is what we say!

Yellow

With Max Mara dedicating their entire SS17 campaign to yellow (almost), it’s no surprise this hue is hot on the list of every fashion editor. Excellent for adding a flash of colour to any look and brilliant with black, it’s fresh and is bang on trend for Spring 2017.

Royal Blue

Royal blue has long been a favourite of the fashion clan worldwide. This season, the classic colour is made more vibrant to help it pop – just check out Ellie Saab’s SS17 collection. A wardrobe staple, this colour can never go out of style.

Nudes

Barely-there nudes are a hot favourite too, but it will take a supermodel to pull off a headto-toe look, que Stella McCartney’s nude ensemble. Instead, give a nod to the trend through your stationery with pastel hues and delicate golds, channelling Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga.

Monochrome

Monochrome is back, as MUGLER proved with their many knockout runway looks. With plenty of bold black and white prints sprawled all over the fashion pages too, it’s time to get your black and white on again. Go for a matching set in black and white, or a cross pattern.
