The fashion world can broadly be divided up into people who love colour and those who feel most comfortable in soft beiges and muted tones. It’s fair to say that the fashion gods have not looked kindly upon the former crowd over the last year or two.

However, over the last month, I’ve found the sea of same-same tones has grown a little repetitive, and, in my opinion, in need of a little excitement.
Fellow monochrome lovers, this one’s for you. If you’re someone who cringes at the sight of rainbow brights, I’ve put together a minimalist’s cheat sheet for injecting colour into your wardrobe this October. Scroll down to see my top tips and shop the key pieces.
