Brat Summer might be over, but its flashier, tangier cousin is just getting started.
May 12, 2025
Forget matcha green, sage phases, and even Brat's signature hue - this summer, the spotlight shifts to Lime Punch: a zesty yellow-green that's impossible to ignore. It's citrus with a side of chaos, neon with bite, and yes - it packs a punch.
Think less elegance, more energy; less class, more character. Lime Punch is the colour of late nights and louder outfits, of lime-chilli chips at the beach and 'limun na'naa'' that tastes a little too electric to be natural. It's a dirty martini with extra olives, a faded neon bodycon, cheap rave sunglasses, the kind of shade you wear when you want to be remembered, not revered.
This Monochrome Monday, we're spotlighting pieces that go beyond trends - they capture moments, memories, and a bold rebellion, all wrapped in a single Pantone shade.
