18 Mar Wasabi Green: The Color That Will Be a Trend
Fashion is once again expanding its chromatic palette, and this time, it’s doing so by embracing intense and contrasting tones that complement ethereal white. While runways anticipate the rise of ice blue or plum, and screen style points to Marty Supreme orange as a protagonist, the true trendsetters seem to have another answer. Attendees at Copenhagen Fashion Week have made it clear that a very specific shade of green will dominate the year.
It is wasabi green, a color that takes over from olive green, but in a more vibrant, luminous, and higher-contrast version. Its name refers to the spicy condiment in Japanese cuisine, and its visual impact is just as powerful. This shade has been strongly repeated in the street style of Copenhagen, especially in fur coats and trench coats that dye the complete look, although it also appears in small doses through bags and accessories.
Far from being difficult to wear, wasabi green is surprisingly versatile. It pairs perfectly with earth tones, from soft beiges to chocolate browns, and also adapts to more daring mixes with colors like burgundy, butter yellow, or even turquoise blue.
A fresh and bold choice that promises to become one of the great protagonists of the season.
