Monochrome Monday: The Saffron Edition

Saffron isn’t just a colour. It’s heat, heritage, and a memory made tangible.

Monochrome Monday: The Saffron Edition

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.
