Trends naturally come and go. One season you\u2019re instructed to wear a single hue from tip to toe, the next you\u2019re advised to rock the boldest and brightest hues of the spectrum. This year, it\u2019s definitely the latter that wins the color contest. But what\u2019s the best way to wear bright colors if you\u2019re generally accustomed to neutrals and generally more understated options? Keep these style-conscious tips in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to wear bright colors \u2014 4 rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Try bold accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to step out in fire engine red to make an impact. Use accessories as an opportunity to brighten up your look without venturing too far outside of your comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your corporate wear is an interesting area to experiment with this look \u2014 try a dress in office-friendly gray with a red satchel\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, for example. Or pair your favorite skirt suit with a vibrant shell<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> underneath. You can also elevate a simple tee and jeans with a jewel-toned scarf. Just a pop of color is all it takes to change the overall tone of your ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Focus on silhouettes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you select pieces that are properly cut to flatter your figure, you\u2019ll feel a lot more comfortable \u2014 and<\/em> confident. That\u2019s the key to wearing any bright color, whether it\u2019s a sunny yellow or a zany pink. A suit in an unexpected shade or an eye-catching print<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> is far easier to pull off when it\u2019s smart and crisply tailored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Select colors wisely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you love every color of the rainbow \u2014 which is perfect, because it gives you a pretty good excuse to fill your closet to the brim. But when planning that brightly colored outfit, be sure you aren\u2019t wearing every<\/em> shade at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Orange<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Opt for colors that complement one another or that fall into the same family so your look doesn’t overwhelm every passerby. And that doesn’t mean you can’t take a risk, either. Pink and orange may not seem like best friends, but they look surprisingly chic together. Same goes for blue and green<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Block your colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
