Last year, the brightest, most attention-grabbing iteration of pink found its way into the collections of Indian and international labels. In 2023, however, a more subdued shade is likely to steal the spotlight. Powder blue, the colour that’s reminiscent of clear skies and pristine waters, was seen making frequent appearances on the spring/summer 2023 runways. Apart from the fact that it exudes a sense of calm, what makes the hue easy to love is its ability to adapt to both pretty and powerful silhouettes. In recent times, we’ve been spotting soft blues on everything from structured blazers and button-downs to breezy dresses and Bermuda shorts. Wondering where you can stock up on the shade? Ahead, we’ve rounded up 9 pieces from some of the coolest homegrown names.
