Eye-catching guarantee: how to shine in Russet Red
Russet Red combines well with beige, cream and off-white for a fresh, summery look. Different shades of brown such as cognac, chestnut or cinnamon, on the other hand, make the outfit look autumnal and gives it a 70s edge.
Mixing with sage green, mustard yellow or navy blue creates a beautiful contrast and is a colour combination that inspires in every season.
If you're brave, wear a (russet) red all-over look or combine with softer shades of red such as apricot, coral or orange. Make sure you don't mix more than three shades from the same colour family - otherwise the look can appear unbalanced.
Out of the blue: how to style the trend colour Light Blue
For a sophisticated summer look, Light Blue goes perfectly with white, beige and gold. Pastel colours such as apricot, lilac or mint green can also set the scene for Light Blue compression garments. Those who prefer monochrome outfits demonstrate a real sense of colour and fashion: various shades of blue can be stylishly mixed in different shades which harmonise wonderfully. For those who prefer the tone-on-tone look: try mixing different fabrics.
Fancy some colour blocking? Exciting contrasts are created by mixing bright colours such as raspberry, magenta or purple with light blue - here you can play with intense palettes. The choice is completely yours!
Step over to the wild side: the new flat knit pattern Wild
Flat knit users can now wear animal print too with the new design and fashion element Wild. Iconic animal print has remained popular through every decade. Choose to wear with neutral colours such as beige, white and brown or if you want to stand out, wear the Wild pattern compression with a cool tunic or a shirt-dress.
Simply combined with an all-black look, the outfit remains classy with the Wild compression as the centre of attention.
For an on-trend office look, Wild looks great when styled with a crisp white shirt, black blazer and cropped trousers.
Which colours are best combined with Lilac?
Lilac really comes into its own when combined with white, light beige or nude - appearing fresh and elegant, and tells of summer days and fragrant flower meadows. Black, grey or brown tones create a softer, fashionable look. However, if you love colour, try combining with on-trend pastel shades. Another option would be to go for an all-over lilac look - trendy yet elegant! Depending on how you style it, Lilac can either add a delicate touch to outfits or makes a cool statement.
How to integrate Sage Green into your everyday wardrobe
Sage Green harmonises particularly well with black, white and grey. The trend colour also looks extremely elegant with light beige or camel and darker shades of brown. Accentuate Sage Green perfectly with pastel shades such as lilac or apricot and show your sense of style. Bright yellow tones also create lively contrasts in your outfit.

- Wear outfits with a slightly wider cut and a more flattering shape. Tight clothes or stiff fabrics can cut into lipoedema and lymphoedema limbs.
- If you want to draw attention away from your legs, try using a bold colour accent to draw attention to your upper body. Or choose a top with a pattern or detail. Waist-accentuating trousers with a high waistband are also perfect. Go for full skirts or dresses in midi or maxi length - they conjure up a flattering silhouette.
- If you have lipoedema or lymphoedema on your arms, you can work with an eye-catching shoe that draws attention down to the feet - for example, a brightly coloured trainer or a shoe with a pointed toe to lengthen the legs. Kimono or batwing sleeves are also perfect.
- For the more subtle fashionable compression wearers, choose cropped trousers or roll up your trousers slightly so that the compression garment peeks out between the shoe and legwear. Ripped jeans or a midi skirt/dress also gives a glimpse of your compression
- Are you standing in front of your wardrobe, wondering what to wear with your compression? The following outfit always works: a cashmere jumper or a white shirt, bootcut jeans and trainers. This look is smart enough for all occasions.
- To turn a simple outfit into a real wow look, you can top off your outfit with jewellery! When choosing the material, make sure that it matches your skin tone. Silver and white gold tend to work with cooler and darker skin tones. Yellow gold looks fabulous on tanned skin and adds glamorous charm to your look. A mix and match with silver and gold can also add an interesting accent.
- Accessories can also add that certain something: a belt gives your outfit structure and creates a beautiful silhouette. High-quality bags pimp any look, no matter how simple. Colourful headgear such as hats, headscarves or eye-catching headbands also accentuate outfits in style.
