Ever wanted to give your outfit a little
splash of color? If so, then you’ve probably thought about putting on something
brightly-colored such as a pink scarf, an orange shirt or even a bright green
goat. Colors are a fantastic way to express yourself and everyone has colors
that they are attracted to. It can give your outfits a lot more personality,
but it does require you to do a bit of research and planning before you wear
anything too outrageous.
So in this article, we’re going to give you a
couple of tips to help you wear bright-colored clothing without feeling
uncomfortable or out of place.

Don’t
push yourself to wear something bright straight away
Going from a palette of neutral colors every
day to brightly-colored clothing isn’t the best approach to take. This is
because you need to get used to bright clothing and slowly learn how you can
mix up your clothes to create unique color combinations and styles. Start
small, such as painting your nails a bright color
first or wearing just a different type of shirt underneath your jacket. Don’t
push yourself into it–just take it slow and allow yourself to ease into it.
Remember
that you have accessories too
Adding a splash of color to your clothes
doesn’t mean you need to wear bright clothes–you can also add accessories. For
example, a great way to add a dash of playfulness to your outfit is to wear a
brightly-colored bag. Alternatively, you could wear a different colored shoe
from what you normally do, or you could consider a hat which has different
colors. There are plenty of colorful accessories that you can add to your
outfit, so start with those first and work your way up. Remember that
accessories can have a huge impact on your overall look!
Pick
colors that compliment each other
Make sure you pick colors that go well with
each other. You can easily Google colorful outfits to learn about the colors
that go well with each other, or you could look at a color chart to help you
pick complementary colors. For example, pink clothing
goes surprisingly well with a pale blue if the pink color is quite light, and
green goes surprisingly well with a bright yellow. There’s plenty of
opportunities to play around, so do a bit of research and test things out in a
clothing store to help you pick.
Impress
yourself before trying to impress others
Don’t wear colorful clothing just because you
want to impress someone you know. Instead, wear it because it’s fun and makes
you happier. You want to pick clothes that you personally feel comfortable in
and forcing yourself to wear something just to fit into a group or to stand out
is a bad choice. You won’t exactly feel comfortable unless you’re in your own
skin, so make sure to develop your own sense of style by
starting small and impressing yourself before you try to impress others.
XOXO,
