If you have a neutral-heavy closet yet a strong curiosity to try out all of the beautiful color trends every season, but you’re very hesitant to actually try them out because vibrant colors often feel inorganic to your personal style, you’ve come to the right place. That’s been my reality for many years, and for some reason, I am feeling the need now more than ever to inject some color into my outfit rotations. In order to do this in a way that feels natural to me, I have been leaning into a simple approach that has eased me into color exploration without it feeling overwhelming.
The trick is to add one colorful piece into the mix at a time, and there are three chic and easy ways to do this with the help of bags, shoes, or accessories like bright phone cases, sunglasses, hats, and scarves. To get you inspired, I rounded up my favorite picks from each category that reflect the current color trends: bold red, butter yellow, a variety of green shades, and more. Keep scrolling to shop each piece alongside a variety of outfit inspiration finds that will show just how effortlessly each piece can work the color trends into your wardrobe this season.
