9 Ways to Wear the Most Polarizing Color Trends This Summer
These vibrant shades are guaranteed to brighten up your warm-weather outfits.
Friends! Welcome back to Self Checkout. I anticipate you'll find this week's send extra helpful. I want to chat about how to wear color, as I know it's not always easy.
Now, I love wearing color—especially during the summer. As I write this, I’m wearing a purple-and-green rugby dress, and carrying a red handbag. Extreme! But I get it: These summer color trends are great in theory, perhaps a little harder in execution. Which is where I come in! I’ve chosen three of my favorites—mustard yellow, blood orange, and grape purple—and provided ways to style the hues at a beginner, intermediate, and expert level. For more outfit ideas, I highly recommend you read this story. Okay, on to the show!
Mustard Yellow
MUSTARD YELLOW
Dark-wash jorts are an easy foil to this bold hue. Minimalist sandals echo the city-ready vibe.
Chunky brown flats temper the of-a-kind yellows in this look.
Find inspiration in a bag of tropical mix Skittles and go all-out.
Blood Orange
BLOOD ORANGE
Avoid Halloween vibes by pairing your orange pants with chocolate brown pieces instead of black. A sky blue bag adds an extra pop of color.
Here’s another example of how to do of-a-kind color blocking. I’d push it even further by throwing another sunset-ish color, like these fuschia mules, into the mix.
Take your linen pants to the beach and complement them with a sugary pink two-piece. Olive green sandals help ground the look.
Grape Purple
GRAPE PURPLE
A sleek black sandal (with a dash of complementary green) ensures your dress is the star of your outfit.
Nothing says “rich” like pairing purple and gold together. Very regal!
Go deep on Riviera vibes with accessories from noted Italian fashion houses.
