It started in the AW10/11 resort season with Colour bomb, since then there has been a colour shock, a colour block, a rainbow nation, a tangerine dream, a Sea of Blue, the Clash, Jewel Tones and now it is Vibrant pink and Orange. They have appeared in pre and post seasons mini trends and main trends. I'm talking of course about the bright colours that have been strolling out on Catwalks without a break for 3 seasons, they are beautiful and luxurious and when you find the right one, so easy to wear and yet, people still turn to the shades of grey.
It is a braver choice, to wear colour. It can go quite horribly wrong making you look sallow or like a clown that has lost its circus, but when you get it right the pay off is amazing. Now we are in a delicious situation where people are more used to seeing colour, it is not completely out of the ordinary and as a result even the more timid of us can now make the choice with so much less risk. Not to mention the fact that by now it must have been proven to you that colour is not a fad that is going anywhere, I would suggest although I have been wrong before the longer these austere times continue the longer the styles we see will be luxe and sumptuous as an offset. The truth is that you are not the only ones depressed by the news of recession and cut backs, designers are business people too and they know the harder the times, the more attractive their clothes have to be, to attract you. I think we can all agree they do a fabulous job. So why not take advantage of it? The weather is horrid, and things look bleak, so instead of complaining about its lack, why not treat yourself and wear a little sunshine instead.
That dark suit won't seem so constricting if you add a little colour to it. The easiest way to wear "brights" is, as an accent colour, adding a little glamour and finesse.
