30th April 2024
Liberate yourself from greys and blacks to choose brighter colours that will bring you nothing but happiness and joy. From bold statement dresses, colourful Summer linen, and fun joyful accessories. Let us bring joy back into your wardrobe.
Feel more optimistic in shades of reds and oranges. Let bright yellows boost your energy levels.
It’s time to be bold, bright colours mean no discrete blending into the crowd.
Let’s explore how wearing colourful clothes can boost your mood. Feel confident, make a statement and show everyone your true personality.
01/ Patterned Dresses
If dressing head to toe in a solid colour feels too much, why not try a bright patterned one-piece?
Whatever your style from relaxed to more formal we’ve got some great colourful summery dresses, with graphic prints, large florals or ditsy details. The more you start to wear colour, the more you’ll notice how joyful it makes you feel and the more you’ll want to wear it.
02/ Colourful Linen
We love linen because it’s an everyday luxury during the warmer months. Linen is highly absorbent and breathable. It is relaxing to wear and is one of the most robust natural fibres. Linen clothes are an essential part of a capsule wardrobe when travelling.
Styling tip: At first a multicoloured patterned piece may seem hard to match accessories to, but actually, they’re easier to work with because you can pair them with any colour in the pattern and they will work! For example, the Gant patterned shirt below could be paired with not just black but orange, yellow, lime green and cream. A great item for your wardrobe or holiday suitcase as it will match so many items making packing or summer dressing a breeze.
03/ Fun Accessories
Accessories are the easiest way to bring some colour to an outfit. Accessories are great because you can wear them often and experiment with matching them to different colours within your wardrobe. A necklace, handbag or scarf that can be tied onto a bag or around your neck is an inexpensive way to inject some colour. Accessories have the power to showcase your personality because they’re an extension of your personal style.
