Seven easy ways to add colour to your wardrobe

Have you ever felt like you needed something extra in your wardrobe? It’s that realization that you’re so bored with your clothes to the point where your daily fashion choices are more of a pick and go situation.

It doesn’t have to be like that anymore. One of the best ways to love what’s in your closet again is to add some more colours in there. It’s time to let go of the plain-Jane syndrome with these easy style tips. 

1. Get some interesting jackets and coats

Get some colourful, unique coats to flaunt in whenever you step out. This is such a brilliant idea to start embracing especially now that we’re in the cold, rainy season. Even though it’s sad and gloomy outside, you can shine with a nice brightly coloured coat like a mustard yellow one for example, to bring a little joy effortlessly.

2. Accessories and more accessories

Accessories usually change the tune of every single outfit within a few minutes. You can choose to wear all gold with some earrings, a watch and necklace or mix and match with different popping pieces that pull the whole look together. You can even add a statement piece once in a while that will make you stand out. Try and always wear some jewellery with every outfit.

Adding belts is another quick and easy way to bring more life to your look. Start creating your personal collection of belts that you can use to your advantage even on those days when you’re just trying to secure a pair of trousers that don’t fit quite right at the waist.

3. Choose the perfect shoes

You don’t have to wear screaming green shoes to add colour to your outfits. No sis! It can be heels with a silver detail, interesting embroidery on the heel, colourful straps and anything that will add that needed touch of colour. Shoes usually save a plain outfit so you should invest in more colourful pairs. If you already have the basics like a pair of plain black heels and neutral coloured sneakers, you can now explore something new.

4. Look at the details

You can also take the minimalistic approach to adding colour. Something simple like bright buttons on a jacket, elbow patches, coloured stitches or even a coloured inner lining could be all you need. Not everyone is a fan of bold colours all the time so this is a good way to make your outfits less dull.

5. Try the latest trends

Every fashion season brings something ‘new’ to all the fashion lovers out there. There was a time when bright colour blocking was a thing and now, we’re obsessing over neutrals, pastels and earth tones. You too can keep up with the different seasons so that you know what to buy the next time you’re out shopping.

6. Bring in some patterns and prints

You can never go wrong with plain outfits. But once in a while, you do need to have some prints. Prints make it easy to spruce up your outfit even when you’re working with two colours like black and white. They reinvent the concept of adding colour to your outfit through the interesting match of patterns. For a beginner, combine a plain item with another patterned item. With time, you can learn the art of mixing prints like a pro.

7. Study the perfect colour combinations

Personalize your outfit combinations based on what you like. At the same time, check for the colours that look good together so that you avoid a colour clash scenario. You should look for different outfit inspirations that can give you more details like certain shades that match and merge with what makes you feel confident.
