Don’t stay away from bright colours just because you are on the wrong side of your 40s. While, as a general rule, women tend to lean towards subdued colours as they grow older, adding a pop of colour the right way can perk up your wardrobe.
Here are some ways in which you can add bright colour to your wardrobe without going overboard:
Add a bright scarf
Adding a bright-coloured scarf to a monochrome dress or attire is the right way to add colour to your look without appearing over the top. You can choose solid bright colour scarves or scarves with colourful prints, geometric patterns or trims.
Carry a bright colour bag
Adding a bright-coloured bag to an otherwise subdued outfit is another way to add a pop of colour to your otherwise dull and drab look. Most leading brands have introduced bags in bright hues. So, take your pick!
Offset your monochrome look with a pair of bright colour shoes
Another interesting way to add colour to your outfit is to wear bright-coloured shoes. There are plenty of brands in the market that are experimenting with bold colours in footwear, and you can pick a style that complements your look without causing too much distraction.
Wear a bright colour outer wear
Sometimes, just adding a colourful outerwear can give you that pop of colour that uplifts your look instantly. Consider adding a bright-coloured cardigan or blazer to your outfit. It can instantly transform a basic ensemble into a livelier and more dynamic look.
Wear a bright colour camisole or a bralette
Wearing a bright-coloured camisole or bralette under your shirt is an exciting way to add colour to your attire. There are amazing styles of bralettes, camisoles, and innerwear available in the market that can be teamed with your outerwear to create an enigmatic look.
Wear bright-coloured bottoms
Wearing bright-coloured bottoms is risky unless you know how to pair them correctly with a complementary top. Also, if you have a heavier bottom, it is better to stay away from bright colours. However, you can experiment and figure out what works for you. For example, try pairing neon shorts with a white T-shirt! It may just work! The trick is to keep the top white or a neutral colour if the bottom is a bright colour. Also, avoid adding any other colour that clashes with the overall look.
Boho look with bold colours
Another way in which you can get away with bright colours is with boho style. This eclectic style is trendy and very contemporary. You can explore various looks and settle for the one that feels right. There is no hard and fast rule with this style, so just experiment and settle for the look that you are comfortable with!!
Accessorize with colourful jewellery
Incorporate bright colours into your outfits through statement jewellery pieces such as earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. Opt for vibrant gemstones or enamel accessories to add a touch of colour and elevate your overall look.
Try a colourful belt
Add a pop of colour to your outfit by accessorizing with a bright-coloured belt. It can be worn over dresses, tunics, or even high-waisted pants to clinch the waist and create a stylish focal point.
Experiment with colourful patterns
Instead of adhering to solid colours, explore garments with lively and colourful patterns. Choose items like floral prints, geometric designs, or abstract motifs to inject vibrancy into your ensemble.
Incorporate colour through makeup
While not directly related to wardrobe choices, using colourful makeup can complement your outfit and enhance your overall appearance. Experiment with vibrant eyeshadows, bold lipsticks, or colourful nail polish to add a burst of colour to your look.
Remember, the key is to balance the bright colours with the rest of your outfit, ensuring that they complement each other and create a cohesive and stylish appearance.
