I love color. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it many more times to come, but I’m a huge fan of color in my wardrobe. Of course, I still wear neutrals a lot of the time, but if you look in my closet you’ll see tons of color, from very bright to soft and subtle. I know not everyone enjoys wearing color. I have dear friends of mine who live in black, grey, and white (no problem with that), but many people have told me they are unsure of mixing color into their palette. Either they think they don’t know how, don’t know where to begin, or are just hesitant because for as long as they can remember they’ve been wearing black, grey, and white. Here is how to…work color into your wardrobe.
- Start with an accessory, such as a scarf, piece of jewelry, or bag.
- Find a more subtle, colorful bottom and pair it with a white or black blouse.
- Wear a light color, such as a pastel, and work your way up to bold and bright.
- Throw on a colorful blazer, cardigan, or jacket over your neutral ensemble so you can continuously take it off and on throughout the day or night, if you feel the need.
- Buy a bathing suit in a bold color, as it’s not something you would wear all the time, but laying by the pool or beach is the perfect place for bright colors.
- Next time you’re at the nail salon, have your nails painted a beautiful color instead of something neutral, as it’ll start making you get more comfortable with the idea of color.

This is a great post for those who are afraid of color. I’m not really that person anymore, but at one point I was!
I love wearing color! The more the better–although I do notice my wardrobe gets a bit drab in the dead of winter. Now that it’s spring, there are more colored pieces to choose from!
I’ve never had a problem with wearing bright and pretty colors! That’s what I love to wear most.
Excellent way for someone who is a little scared of color to add some to their wardrobe. I personally wear more color than anyone I know! 🙂

These are such great tips! Scarves are a great way to start since they’re only an accessory and are less overpowering then a bright pair of pants! I’m totally in love with that skirt, the coral and turquoise are the perfect combo for summer!

I definitely resort to letting nail color be the only color in my wardrobe far too often… but with a rich lilac like that, my black pants, shoes, jacket, and bag might forgive me!
