Fashion — Finding Your Perfect Palette at The Friary

 

We’re celebrating personal style in full colour this summer with Style Starts With Hue – a two-day event that brought the magic of colour analysis to life.

Across two days, guests experienced free one-to-one colour analysis sessions with expert stylist Kerrie Ellis, who helped shoppers uncover the shades that truly suit them. Whether you attended or you’re just discovering the magic of colour analysis now, this blog is your guide to styling with purpose.

We’ve pulled together some outfit inspiration for each colour palette with items found right here at The Friary, so you can shop smarter, feel brighter, and build a wardrobe that works with you, not against you.

Read on to discover your perfect match… and how to wear it well.
