In the 13 years I've spent writing (and let's face it, obsessing) about fashion, I've come to the conclusion that there's no such thing as a coincidence, especially when it pertains to seeing a person wearing something similar to someone else. And given the fact that I've just witnessed two of the most stylish people wearing the same exact colour, I know it's only a matter of time before it'll begin to catch on.
Earlier in the month, we brought you a handful of expensive-looking colours that were doing the rounds, while this feature included a chic outfit from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, which featured a sage green knitted dress, which she styled out with ecru accessories. Now, imagine my delight when, just this week, Kendall Jenner followed in Huntington-Whiteley's chic footsteps with her very own sage look; a knitted mini dress which she rounded off with Bottega Veneta's new Andiamo bag.
What struck me most was how little of this colour I've seen lately. It's a shade I consider to be very classic, never driven by trends but somewhat omnipresent in collections each season. I also realised just how expensive it looks and how it loans itself to the quiet luxury aesthetic that is still reigning. Sure, Jenner's dress may be St Agni while Huntington-Whiteley's is Khaite, but this is one of those rare colours that has a tendency to look premium no matter how much you spend on it. And I have proof.
Below, I've rounded up my favourite sage colour trend pieces that I truly believe will stand the test of time in your wardrobe and help you dress as elegantly as Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. From H&M to Anine Bing, these pieces confirm that sage is the shade of note this summer.
