Feels Like Spring: Ivy Park's New Palette Takes Us From Lemonade to Emerald City

If, like me, you are currently gazing out of the window listlessly, trying to soak up whatever gray, rainy daylight you can as it gets a minute shorter every day, never fear.

If, like me, you are currently gazing out of the window listlessly, trying to soak up whatever gray, rainy daylight you can as it gets a minute shorter every day, never fear. BeyoncΓ© is here, ready to put our love back on top with an Ivy Park palette that is subversively spring-likeβ€”just what we need, in these dark, dark days.

At the top of this week, we buzzed the news that Ivy Park will be debuting new drip next Friday, Oct. 30. But on Wednesday, Queen Bey sweetened the pot with a preview of the new offerings on social media, introducing a very optimistic detour from the more autumnal orange, burgundy and ivory palette which marked the label’s relaunch with Adidas in January (which now feels like 9 years ago, rather than 9 months). We were fully expecting to once again have orange box envy this season, but like β€œThe Wiz,” BeyoncΓ© has declared orange officially overβ€”this season’s colors are broaderβ€”and fresherβ€”including hues of emerald, mint, citron, camel and coral.

What’s the same? Not much.

A few of the athleisure silhouettes we loved from Drop 1 are returning in a new colorway (because you know when you love a style, you covet it in every color available); the snapfront trouser and jacket are back, this time in a gorgeous emerald green with a seafoam stripe. (See? Oz.) Also back is the classic sweatsuit (perfect for the current and still indefinite work-from-home situation many of us find ourselves in), this time in a juicy watermelon hue with a camel stripe, ready to mix-and-match with a few other fleece separates.

Throw in a new tailored, wide-legged, mint-colored pantsuit (proving Adidas can play dress-up, too), a few BeyoncΓ©-worthy β€œget me bodied” suits, some windbreaking, wing-like outwearβ€”including a balaclava-like mask feature on one hooded jacket, so we can be safe AND stylishβ€”and accessories galore, and BeyoncΓ© has officially upgraded your Ivy Park wardrobe.

While we don’t know which of the new hues Bey will be choosing for her massive boxes of celebrity swag this season, but should I somehow, by the grace of all that is good in Parkwood, be blessed with one at my doorstep, this is what my winter will look like...
