4 Fresh Ways to Wear Color
Even those of us who live in warm-weather cities default to a seasonally black-and-grey wardrobe in the winter, but there’s something to be said for infusing some brighter colors into your uniform. (Think of it as an instant mood-lifter.) Here, get inspired by these simple, playful ways to incorporate color without going full-on summer.
Rainbow Bright
In the last few seasons, playful stripes have shown no signs of fading. We love the full spectrum of saturated stripes on this sweater (and its contrasting metallic collar), particularly when teamed with a preppy button-down, light denim, and a hot pink, color-blocked shoulder bag.
