Colour Pop: How To Inject Some Crayola Colour Into Your New-Season Wardrobe

Up your dopamine levels with by giving your wardrobe a Crayola makeover for spring.

The time has come to make the seasonal shift away from winter’s palette of neutrals and deep, rich tones and to instead make way for some serious spring brights. Like the new bulbs ready to unfurl in pops of acid green, sunshine yellow and saccharine pink, the new-season arrivals in fashion are filled with ‘Crayola brights’ to add a dopamine hit of colour to your outfits this spring.

Colour Blocking





Take a tip from style influencers and fashion editors alike and opt for head-to-toe tonal colour blocking. In reality, it’s a super easy way to style an outfit. Stick to one hue but mix up the shades and textures to immediately look pulled together.

Statement Dressing


Your other option is to invest in one ‘colour wow’ piece and let that do the talking. Keep the other elements in your outfit neutral or monochrome and let your colourful buy take centre stage.

Make It Pop





If you’re not ready for a full colour bright look adding just a pop in your shoes and accessories can add a seasonal update to your current wardrobe staples. Red is having ‘a moment’ this season, a pair of red leather ballet flat, or a beanie are a great way to finish an outfit with a colourful twist.
