The fail-safe way to work the accent colors of FW 2025? Start with a cashmere sweater. Then build one accessible accessory to quietly finish the frame (left-right, top-bottom):
Lavender + Baroque Pearl Drops — A little art, a little attitude. Not your grandma’s pearls — these are asymmetrical, paired with gold (once unacceptable, now essential). They bring luminosity and presence, catching light beautifully on camera while giving lavender a sculptural edge.
Blush Pink + Ruffled White Collar — Softness with a frame. The crisp white collar nods to this season’s exaggerated ruffle trend but reins it in to something wearable — prim, modern, and quietly intentional. Romantic enough for the camera, composed enough for most meetings (perhaps not the most formal ones).
Camel + Chunky Gold Chain — Your boardroom neutral, elevated. Camel grounds the palette while the oversized gold chain brings instant authority. They’re always around — so still a solid investment. Luxurious, minimal, and unmistakably pulled together. Psst: for a full look, add camel wide-leg trousers and you’re done.
Baby Blue + Gold Hoops — Clean, clear, and quietly assertive. The small ruffled collar peeking through also echoes the big statement ruffles of FW 2025 — just scaled down for real work life. Sleek gold hoops frame the face and balance the softness with structure.
