Even though bright colors have been popping up everywhere in the world of fashion, shopping for such a shocking palette is another matter altogether. With classic pieces or a little black dress (LBD), you could just throw on your favorite Jimmy Choos, grab any old Prada handbag you’ve got lying around and you’re good to go. Here’s how to shop – and dress – for bright colors with a little strategy and a lot of style.
When it comes to bright colors, the color itself is enough to catch attention, no matter what form or size it has. If you feel that walking around like an enormous crayon just isn’t your style, go for an understated burst of color somewhere in your ensemble. Adding just a little – in the right color and way, of course – can go a very long way in making your look even more chic.
Focus on accessories. Wearing a top or, even bigger, an entire outfit in a very bright color is too much for some people. If you think you can’t handle such a big blast of bright tints, use your accessories for it instead. Like all other pieces of Dolce & Gabbana clothing, the thin, bright-red belt on the left ($286, styledrops.com, code: dg073w-be0028-a5901-80303) captures a lot of attention. Just add it to your favorite plain outfit and you’ll see the instant update that it can do.
Pair your LBD with bright colored accessories like an eye-catching purse or a statement pair of shoes. This fire engine red detailed patent hobo from Valentino ($1,219, styledrops.com, code: v001s- XAB963NLAA.RO), even when added to the plainest black shift dress, will add life to your outfit and make you the life of the party. So what if it’s a louder shade than most of the lipsticks that you own? Your outfit needs a blast of color and you know it.
