I'm Experimenting With Adding Color to My Wardrobe—These New Finds Are "It"
As someone who generally sticks to a neutral uniform, I'm surprised to admit that there's something about spring's bold-color trend that really gets me going. Maybe it's the inherent joy it encapsulates or maybe I'm just bored of black and tan (insert shrug emoji). Either way, I'm taking color risks I never have before, and let me tell you, it feels good. Exhibit A: I recently attended a wedding in a floor-length Pepto-Bismol-pink dress. Was I nervous to wear it? Oh yeah. But I have never gotten more compliments on an item of clothing in my life.
This newfound color confidence has me trying to incorporate brighter hues on a more frequent basis. Am I intrigued by a monochrome tangerine look? Yes, yes, I am. Are there Y2K-inspired, kelly-green sandals currently in my shopping cart? There sure are. And in all honestly, they should be in yours, too. So hop on in, and get to scrolling! A rainbow of fun spring pieces awaits.
Hot pink's a color I would've shied away from before, but now I can't wait to try it out!
For a monochrome look, pair the cardigan with the matching skirt!
A rich olive is a super-elevated way to dip your toe in the color pool.
This periwinkle sweater is a great option if you're looking to add just a little pop of color.
If you're new to the color game, how about something in comforting black with just some accents in color? This cardigan is made of recycled clamshells and is hand-embroidered!
If saturated colors aren't your thing, why not try a more muted pastel?
Bright intimates are a fun way to get in on the trend. Show them off, or keep them hidden!
The straight fit and front pleat on these pants are so flattering.
I like the idea of wearing these with a neutral workout outfit and a baseball cap.
If you're still unsure about how to incorporate color into your wardrobe, activewear is the perfect place to start experimenting.
