How to Add the Perfect Pop of Color to Any Outfit

Adding the right pop of color can transform any outfit from forgettable to fabulous. While bright colors can be a powerful styling tool, they’re often intimidating to experiment with, leaving many people afraid to walk the line between uninspiring and overwhelming. But have no fear, with just a few easy tips, you can harness the power of the color pop! Let’s explore a few ways to add some pizzazz to your wardrobe.

Shoes

Contrary to their eye-popping colors, bright shoes often get overlooked in stores, getting outsold by their neutral-colored counterparts. This can be a great opportunity for somebody looking to make a bold statement. Don’t shy away from these not-so-hidden gems. If you find brightly-colored shoes that speak to you, just use the phrase, “Buy now and ask questions later.” After some experimentation, learning how to incorporate them into your outfits will be truly rewarding.

Purses

Much like shoes, playfully-colored purses can take a backseat in the sales department to more standard colors such as black, brown and tan. But, if you’re looking for a distinctive look, consider a purse with a little more character. You’ll be the envy of those wishing to be more adventurous.

Hats

At one time, hats were common accessories for fashionable women. These days, hats are more of a statement piece, so why not make that statement fun and unapologetic? Find yourself a bold, stylish hat that compliments your face shape and skin tone. With the right hat, you’ll achieve the perfect brave and spunky look.

Jewelry

When it comes to jewelry, adding one or two little pops of color can elevate your entire outfit. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets are great ways of introducing vibrancy to your style. Speaking of bracelets, consider stacking two or more on one wrist for a fun, modern take.

Putting It All Together

If you’re feeling inspired, but still a little unsure of which colors to mix and match, there’s a great tool at your disposal – the color wheel. With the color wheel, three basic palettes can be easily understood:

Analogous

Choose a slice of three neighboring colors from the color wheel (such as a pallet containing green, yellow-green, and yellow.) This will give your outfit a unified, cohesive look.

Complimentary

Choose colors from opposite sides of the color wheel (such as a pallet containing blue and orange). This will give your outfit a strong, contrasting style.

Primary

Choose the three primary colors – blue, red and yellow. This will give your outfit a playful, vintage flair.
