You may have noticed that black is my clothing color of choice.
But, believe it or not, there are times that I throw some color into my life. And when I do, I prefer to go bold, or go home.
Pastels and light-colored clothing can be great. But - nearly obnoxious bold & bright colors are not only “in” right now - they’re also just so much more…FUN!
1. Keep the rest of your outfit simple. For example - a hot pink blazer with jeans and a white v-neck.
2. Stick with a color that you like. I’m not a huge fan of green, so I’m not going to step out in a lime-colored blouse just because it’s bright. I personally prefer pinks, corals, and blues.
3. Look for examples. If you want to rock bold-colored clothes but aren’t sure how to put it all together, flip through some magazines or fashion/style blogs for inspiration.
And of course, no matter what you’re wearing, make sure to just be confident and work it!

How much color is in your wardrobe? What’s your favorite color to wear?
I love color, but I would say I wear it more in the summer than I do in the winter. I love anything bright orange, pink, or blue!
Love this post! I’m the same with black- it’s always my go-to outfit color. Safe, yet classy! I agree with all 3 tips especially number 1: stick to one bold color and then keep the rest simple…otherwise you risk looking like a clown
!
It’s the NYC way to wear mostly black, but I feel you. Black is my color of choice in the winter, but as you know, in the spring and summer I like to go big or go home with ridiculous colored sun dresses. They’re just more fun!!
Black used to make up half my wardrobe. In high school it was the color I always chose. But now my black tops are my least favorite, probably because I’ve worn them so much. Also, I work at an office that discourages black (it’s a creative firm, they’re a little nuts), so now I’m always looking for colors.
My problem is with solids vs. prints. I am ALWAYS dressed in solids.. but totally embrace prints. Not sure why my closet is FILLED with solid clothes!
I wear black, grey, white colors but this year i bought a coral silky blouse which i really like! I prefer wearing neutral colors and use some colorful accesories, like bags or shoes. x
I wear SO much black, especially in the winter! In the summer I dress more colorful. I love to wear coral and purple! Not together obviously..
I love black too and I agree that brights are so much fun.
When I think about my closet, I remember how many of my summer clothes are earth tones. Until I have a decent tan, I don’t like pulling out the bright colors
.
I usually live in black too, but I am trying to incorporate bold pops of color, I love coral (mostly in the form of toe nail polish haha) So pretty though!
I wear a lot of black during the winter, but my color comes out in the summer. I’m loving royal blue right now!
I wear a TON of black all year long, too. But, I love turquoise/teal, and I also like to have bags and shoes that are bold colors so they stand out against my mostly plain clothes.
I’m a big fan of color. My mom claims that I’ve been dressing like Rainbow Brite since the day I started picking out my own clothes at the age of 2.
Bright colors (color blocking) seem to be really in! I’m a black-clothing girl at heart, though. And consider this-someone told me this morning that stores will start carrying their fall collections in 4 weeks! Yikes.
I have a lot of color, but in the form of patterns..I’m obsessed. I do like bright colors though. I think bright pink is so fun!
I wear black ALL the time! In the summer I try to incorporate more color though, usually with colorful/printed dresses!
I love color and wear it a fair amount…love yellows, oranges, pinks and reds. I tend to wear black the most since my job is pretty conservative though.
I have to admit that I wear mostly blacks, grays, and other neutrals. As much as I love color, for some reason I keep gravitating toward the basics (maybe because of my job…?). I’m working on it though - colors are so much more cheerful!
I have way to much black and grey….I think it’s just a city mentality! I do need some color though, so I’m thinking of stocking up on some color for summer! I love that shirt btw!
I’m a black lover too! I also am a fan of greys, and blues, but the pops of color, I just can’t seem to wrap my head around! I’m a rocker chick, and I always want to portray that through my style, and I feel like I have to stick with blacks to get that look. Seems like whenever I go shopping, the items with color look so old-lady-ish or businessey.. :-/ Maybe I need to go shopping more or find other stores to shop!
I wear a TON of black - I think it looks nice with blonde hair, plus the basics are great for work. I definitely need to incorporate more color, especially for spring and summer!
I mostly wear black, too. My co-workers all make fun of me because I rarely wear color. I love color on other people, but I feel safe in black and it works with anything, so I can get out the door faster.
I’m a neutral girl myself…camel and cream, navy and heather grey. I’m also notorious for solids (or stripes…they’re my pattern weakness). I try to bring in at least a little colour through scarves, jewelry, or my shoes. My trick to adding colour is to go shopping with a friend who I know to be a bit bolder…she will always pick up something in coral or teal or a cornflower blue and say “this would look so good on you”. She tends to be right - I (almost) always love it once it’s on. Let’s be honest…I’m a little lazy and just prefer to sit back and let other people push my colour boundaries for me
I love black, too, but when I go with color it’s usually blues! Love the neons and bold colors in your pictures
Yay for fashion posts!
I agree with all of this. If you’re going to have something bold, it’s best to be neutral. I love wearing a bold color handbag - it makes the outfit stand out.
I wear so much black, grey and blue in the winter but my wardrobe gets a lot more colourful in the summers. I love bright yellow and coral!
I’m definitely a black/brown/blue gal. I love teal and cobalt blue for a pop of color.
i love black witha pop of color too! OMG I just got these HOT pink fushia pumps and I cant wait to spruce up a plain ole black outfit with them!
I LOVE the blue top on the bottom.. so cute!
And I am DEFINITELY guilty of my wardrobe being mostly black, at least my winter clothes. During the summer, I use more color.. I LOVE a coral top with white shorts!
My favorite color to wear by far is white! I have SO many white dresses. I like black too, and blue, which is my favorite color in general.
I do have some black and white clothes, but like you said, color is the way to go! I especially love wearing colorful clothes in the summertime!
love, love, love all the colors. I’m obsessed with Gucci’s colorblocking they did for Spring, the jewel tones are beautiful.
