It's a good idea to refresh your wardrobe with some new colors in the springtime. When the weather is unpredictable, it is helpful to put on new layers of clothing that have a little or a lot of colors because this can go a long way.
We have just the thing—five things, to be exact—to wake up your closet, regardless of whether you already know how to use the color wheel and just want to learn a few new tricks, or whether your closet is full of neutrals and needs a heavy dose of brights done the right way.
Choose Colors That Complement and Contrast One Another
Locating two colors that complement one another beautifully is only half the battle. If you tend to wear a lot of brown, you might want to experiment with adding a little bit of green for a more understated nod. If you're ready to get up and go, choose oranges or yellows because these colors are cheerful and energizing. In either scenario, if the color combinations you've chosen look good together, you're headed in the right direction.
Put A New Spin On Your Tried-And-True Basics
Try spicing up your look by donning a top layer in a more vibrant color than the standard black, brown, or grey that you would normally wear. It will give the routine a fresh spin and elevate the appearance of an otherwise simple outfit.
The best part is that there are so many different designs of jackets, hoodies, and pullovers that it is simple to locate one that you will want to wear throughout the entirety of the season. Just make sure that everything you wear with it, from your shoes to your purse, complements it well (refer to the first piece of advice).
Don't Let the Top Get Dark
This is the perfect time to clear some space and make it more manageable for yourself. Add a splash of color to your shirt rotation to demonstrate that you are willing to take on challenges that may appear difficult to complete successfully. Keep everything solid so that it is easier to go together, and add outerwear that shows off your daring color choice, keeps your core warm, and lets air in so that you are prepared for the weather changes that spring brings.
Don't Be Afraid To Go All Out With A Fun Print!
The season of spring is all about trying new things. A little loud? Yes, but the time has come to wait and see how everything turns out.
It's possible that people will thank you for making their day more enjoyable (maybe). To demonstrate that you are not afraid to go for it, complete your statement piece with softer colors and shoes that match one of the colors in your shirt. This will show that you are not afraid to take risks.
Don't Forget To Wear Pink!
Pink can be styled in a variety of ways, but if you know how to pull it off properly, you can get away with any of them. If you're not sure where to begin, try going for a look that's inspired by the "9-to-5." Choose a button-down shirt with a pattern that features pink (or coral, or a washed-out red), as well as a color that pairs well with pink, such as light blue. When choosing a shirt to wear, it is important to remember to stick with slimmer cuts and the usual suspects.
