Monochrome Monday: The Saffron Edition
Saffron isn't just a colour. It's heat, heritage, and a memory made tangible.
There are colours that follow seasons, and then there's saffron - perpetually relevant, stubbornly radiant. It lives somewhere between sun-bleached ochre and slow-burn turmeric: neither orange nor yellow, but something older, deeper. You'll find it where heat meets history - in the trim of a galabiya, the glaze of a lantern, the shimmer off the Nile just before the sunset. It's the grain of an old photograph, the lid of a spice jar cracked open at noon.
Saffron isn't merely seasonal but situational. A feeling that stains, lingers, and refuses to wash out. Here's how to wear it.
Alexandra Miro | Leonie Open-back Dress
A sun-drenched column of chiffon with an open back that reads less resort, more revival. Tailored to catch both the light and the side-eyes. Carolina Herrera | Ombré-effect Sequinned Midi Skirt
Think sunset, pixelated. This skirt doesn't whisper elegance—it flashes it in sequins that drip from ochre to gold like a melting hour.
Rebel Cairo | Stripe Cotton Wrap Pareo in Tangerine
More than just a beach wrap, it's a saffron-soaked stripe of attitude. Tie it high, wear it low, don't overthink it. IZIE | Port Sandals
Sleek, sculptural, and dipped in the kind of orange that usually only happens at 6:47 PM. Ground your look without dulling it.
Sheryl Lowe | Sunset Bead Bracelet
A strand of molten sunset held together by three pavé diamond rondelles. Not delicate—deliberate.
Miaou Atlas | Pant in Oasis
Tailored to flirt with structure but lounge like silk. These trousers say 'I'm chill' while their colour says 'No, you're not.'
Okhtein | Mini Feryel Bag in Gel Copper
Structured but soft, like a family heirloom that moonlights as an accessory. Pairs well with everything and nothing at once. PINKO | Sequinned Mini Dress
A disco ball recast in spice tones. If saffron had a nightlife, this is what it would wear. Amina Muaddi | Anok Slipper 105 in Orange Satin
Satin-wrapped power with the architectural heel to back it up. The kind of shoe that turns entrances into exits.
