While we all love the classic black, gray, and beige palette, sometimes we crave colorful accents, combinations, or bold bright highlights in our outfits. This desire usually isn’t dependent on the season or the weather. However, experimenting with color in summer feels easier and more enjoyable. So, where to start? How to integrate color into your everyday wardrobe to look stylish? Are there any ready-to-use tips? Especially for HANDBAGSENSE, a stylist together with a multi-brand store created two complete outfits — one with simple color combinations and one more complex, where color plays the key role. We share foolproof fashion formulas that you should consider right now.

Accenting the Portrait Zone

If we want to highlight the portrait zone in an outfit, we add color there. This trick works well for girls with active hips, of shorter stature, and, in principle, for anyone who loves to attract attention. Choose a bright top (in our case, a rich blue) and pair it with a structured black suit. This results in a perfect smart casual look, where smart is represented by the pants and jacket, and casual by the top. Keep in mind that you can accentuate the portrait zone not only with color but also with additional details: earrings, bag hardware, bracelets, brooches, etc. Our fashion formula is activated by a two-tone structured bag. By the way, white works similarly to bright colors in styling, drawing attention as well. Thus, we have several accents that enhance your entire look.

Accenting the Waist

Let’s try integrating color into a more relaxed outfit. In this formula, we use color as the base, while achromatic additions in muted shades (white, black, gray) are used for accessories. In our case, it’s a white bag and white sneakers. We make a bright accent on the waist by tying a lilac hoodie over a denim shirt and jeans. This can be a sweatshirt or a shirt draped over the shoulders or tied around the hips. It all depends on where you want to place the fashion emphasis. By choosing lilac, we used an analogous combination, which is absolutely foolproof.

Conclusion

Color accents are a great way to refresh your wardrobe and add individuality to it. Experiment with different colors and combinations, add bright details and accessories. Use our foolproof fashion formulas to create stylish and expressive looks that will delight you every day.
