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.

7 Colours to wear that will lift your mood

01/ Red

Associated with passion, energy, and excitement. Wearing red can help you convey confidence and assertiveness.

02/ Blue

Symbolises calmness, trust, and stability. Navy blue is often seen as a professional colour and can evoke a sense of reliability. Navy blue can be thought of as a great alternative to black if you want to introduce colour into your wardrobe in a more subtle way.

03/ Yellow

Represents optimism, happiness, and creativity. Wearing yellow can uplift mood and promote a sense of cheerfulness. When wearing yellow you are guaranteed to lift everyone’s day whoever you meet, never failing to make them smile.

04/ Green

Symbolic of nature, growth, and harmony. Wearing green can evoke feelings of balance, tranquillity and calm. You can experiment with more subtle khaki and olive shades or make more of a statement with bright limes or fresh mint greens.

05/ Purple

Associated with luxury, creativity, and spirituality. Wearing purple can convey a sense of sophistication and elegance.

06/ Orange

Represents enthusiasm, vitality, and warmth. Wearing orange can be energising and promote a sense of enthusiasm. A great shade for Summer vacations.

07/ Pink

Symbolises love, compassion, and femininity. Wearing pink can evoke feelings of tenderness and affection, ideal for romantic dates with your loved one.

 

Incorporating vibrant colours into your wardrobe offers a myriad of positive benefits beyond the realm of traditional black, greys, and whites. By embracing hues like red, blue, yellow, green, purple, and orange, you invite a spectrum of emotions and energies into your daily life. These colours have the power to uplift your mood, evoke creativity, convey confidence, and even promote a sense of harmony and balance.

So why limit yourself to a monochromatic palette when you can infuse your style with the richness and vitality of colour? Step outside your comfort zone, experiment with different shades and watch as your wardrobe transforms into a vibrant reflection of your inner radiance.
