How to Style Brights for Summer
Hello quarantine cuties,
(Lol sorry for that intro, but it couldn’t be avoided.) Anyway, how have you all been coping this week? Have you ventured out a bit more, as lockdown rules ease? I’ve been on quite a few picnics outside and reading in the sunshine, but still very much avoiding others and wearing my masks when in grocery shops. Other than that, not much has changed here.
This week, I’ve mixed it up and made a little video on how I’ve been styling bright colours right now. I’ve also created a few tips below on how you can start styling more bright shades in your own wardrobe. I know it can be intimidating at times to break away from your usual blacks, whites, and beiges, but these tips just might make you feel a bit more adventurous.
Monochrome Madness
Going monochrome is a great way to try bright colours without worrying about whether the shades go together or not. I styled three monochrome outfits for this video; my green outfit to the right, my full pink look in the video, and my blue look.
Cross the Colour Wheel
A colour rule, when it comes to just about anything creative, is that shades directly across from one another on the colour wheel compliment each other. For example blue and orange are across from one another and that’s why they always seem to go together. I paired orange with blue and pink with green because they’re known to compliment each other.
Neutral Accessories
A sure fire way for your bright pieces to pop is if you accessorize them with neutrals. I chose black, navy and brown to accessorize within the video above. (Tip: I also think of denim as a neutral most of the time.) Keep your shoes and accessories subdued, so your bright pieces get all the attention.
Colour Combos
When combining two bright colours, I recommend thinking of them as block colours. Try not to introduce too much pattern. Use texture and colour as your main elements, as opposed to print or pattern.
Thank you so much for reading this week’s post. Let me know what you think of having a video this week and comment down below with the bright shades you’re planning to rock this summer. Remember to follow me on social media for daily updates and have an amazing week guys. Stay safe and stay stylish!
