New colours have moved down the block, and they’re all paired up…

No one throws a get-together like a couple of colours; pink was just spotted with grey, burgundy and butter yellow are chilling on the couch, and bright pink and orange are on the dance floor bringing the vibes. They’re no ordinary pairs - they’re cool, balanced and the pop of Pantone you’ve been missing from your life!

Blocked up for a good time:

Burgundy Red + Butter Yellow

(Burnt Buttered)

They say opposites attract, and this one elegantly says, “Pick one? Why not both.” It’s witnessing two people with undeniable chemistry meeting for the first time; rich, moody burgundy meets the gaze of fresh butter yellow across the table… the rest is history! What was once deeply mysterious (Mr. Burgundy) is now warm with the addition of the light and playful yellow - it’s giving autumn leaves with the soft sunlight peeking through. 

Blocked Together:

Wrap things up with a burgundy scarf to keep things warm - or even better, a sweater! 


Layer over with a soft butter cardigan for the day or a yellow slip dress to help you power through the chilly nights out. Perfect for a class cafe or lowkey night out! 

Bright Orange + Bright Pink

(Bright & Brighter)

Confidence bottled - but not really! It’s loud but in a friendly way, loud but not overbearing. This shouts main character from the shores of a sunny beach, with the warmth of the sun against your skin. Channel vacation from the parameters of your wardrobe and bring the light and the warmth of summer to every room you enter! It’s bold, bright and makes you excited to wear flip flops and sip cocktails again.

Blocked Together:

Feel extra flirty at your next celebration, party or cocktail night with a hot pink mini or oversized shirt and a fun orange handbag! 


Overwhelmed? Break things up with a plain white tee, or a light denim jean for a softer vibe. 

Baby Pink + Corporate Grey

(Corporate Baby)

Busy woman in the big business world, let’s sweeten up your life with a sprinkle of feminine charm. The duality of introducing baby pink to shades of muted grey shows you mean business, but strawberry matcha in hand! It’s a soft but firm hand at the wheel that shows you’re in charge without feeling the need to be the loudest in the room. Pilates in the morning before your 9-5 vibe.

Blocked Together:

Your favourite grey blazer with a pink satin slip, or your corporate pants with an oversized pink sweater will do the trick! 


Simple, chic, classic.

Pistachio Green + Washed-Denim Blue

(Blue-Wash Pistachio)

Pistachio chocolate who? It’s fresh and nostalgic, in one look. Show you’re in with the trends while also staying true to the classics - when has denim never ever failed us? This pair feels natural and grounded; ocean blues and nutty greens that add a pop of colour that makes you stand out, without looking out of place. 

Blocked Together:

For those days where you're out and about and keeping it comfy, slip on those jeans that fit just right, and explore the thrift-shops for the perfect pistachio piece! 


Date idea with your bestie, and purposeful shopping in one - talk about two birds, one stone!

Whether it’s a bit of you or not your taste, the chemistry between these pairs are undeniable and turn heads in the best way! Ship these combos, mix and mingle, or switch colours with a new shade and remember: the only opinion that matters is yours (rock it in confidence!).
