The time to wear more color is here, everyone! On the spring/summer 2022 runways, brands such as Versace, Saint Laurent, and Valentino made a strong case for electric shades ranging from hot pink to orange to Kermit green, and it's clear that feel-good colors are going to make a huge impact on fashion in the year ahead. The vibrant pieces are already landing on the market and are here to add a dose of joy to your looks.
If you're normally a neutrals person like me and need some help easing into bolder shades, I'd suggest starting with one piece, like a vibrant pair of heels to offset an all-black look or a colorful sweater to style with jeans or leather trousers. Or just throw out the rule book altogether and have a little fun because that's what colorful fashion is all about. Ahead, you'll find some shopping picks that caught my eye.
