This is not surprising considering the fact that mint has been one of the most popular colour choices for the year 2015. Runways all over the world have seen exquisite creations in mint colour.

In what ways can you add mint to your wardrobe?

Ethnic Wear
While pastel shades are always popular when it comes to western wear, Indian wear has always been more inclined towards the use of bold colours. We love wearing reds, oranges and other such colours that are loud. But surprisingly, the colour mint has been adopted by lots of Indian designers in recent times. What is even more surprising is that the colour actually looks really great when used for lehengas and kurtas.

Mint is a colour that seems to translate so well when used in accents. So use it sparingly to bring the most out of it. With regard to your outfit, make sure you do not go overboard with it. This means that if you’re wearing a mint coloured dress, then make sure your accessories are of a different colour. Avoid matching or going for the monochromatic look when dealing with mint. Your aim should be to let mint colour be the focus, not overpower the look with so much mint that the colour loses its value.
