I Know You're a Fashion Person If You Pair These Two Bold Colors Together for Spring
Cool girls are into this.
Spring is so, so close. I’ve been dreaming of the days when I can walk out of my apartment without a jacket. I’ve been harping on my closet, feeling that universal feeling of, “I have nothing to wear.” That said, a solution quickly came to me once I noticed an outfit worn by one of Hollywood’s most stylish darlings, Tessa Thompson.
Thompson wore a color combination that I actually already have in my closet. She wore a head-to-toe, fresh off-the-runway Tory Burch F/W 26 look consisting of a vibrant red sweater, brown leather skirt, and the label’s popular hero shoes, pierced pumps. I don’t know why I haven’t thought of red and brown to be paired together for spring, but I’ve been sold. This color combination is equal parts bold, chic, and playful. I can’t wait to try this trend out once the sun finally peeks out again.
If you’re on the hunt for a new spring outfit trend to try, then keep scrolling through to recreate Tessa’s outfit, and then shop similar items.
