Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
While I've always worn bold and bright colors, my wardrobe majorly transformed when quiet luxury began trending. I fell into the trap of black blazers, white maxi skirts, and every neutral shade of my favorite loose trousers under the guise of creating a capsule wardrobe. But in actuality, my style was lacking, and my outfits were always missing something. Don't get me wrong—I love a good neutral palette, and some of my style icons err on the polished and simplistic side. But as we usher in a new season (goodbye, winter), I'm looking forward to spicing up my wardrobe with the bolder hues that I've been avoiding.
The temperature is rising, and I'm ready to be experimental again. Printed sets? Add to cart. Striped dresses? They're already in my suitcase. Fun sneakers? I'm building a collection. I rounded up 31 colorful items to top off your wardrobe as summer approaches. Keep scrolling for some seasonal favorites that are not only interesting to look at but also exciting to wear.
