How to wear colour: OK! fashion stylist shares her top tips on the trend

Many of us often shy away from bold brights, opting instead for dark tones and head-to-toe black as it seems like a less daunting option and makes it easier to blend into the crowd.

But why would you want to? We shouldn’t shy away from these happy hues. Worn in the right way colourful shades can look just as chic as head-to-toe black – and we are here to show you how.

If you are new to adding colour into your wardrobe, keep it simple at first with just an accessory or a jacket, for a pop of colour that will easily give your look a new lease of life.

If bright tones are part of your every day look, go for bold and wear it head to toe.

Here’s our guide to bright dressing…

Go For Green

Lime green is all over the high street right now – you can’t escape it!

Keep it simple and super wearable by pairing with your every day denim jeans and a glitzy court heel.

If you’re feeling brave, add a matching bag for extra zest.
