Black clothing is effortless when it comes to styling, and it’s such a chic and powerful color to wear. Styling colorful clothing takes more effort, for me anyway. But I’ve found a few ways to make adding color to my wardrobe both fun and practical. Check out 3 tips on how to add color to your wardrobe below!

 

1. Start Small
   • If you want to start adding more color to your wardrobe start small. Try adding colorful accessories, shoes or even lipstick to your wardrobe first. Get comfortable with a little color before making larger purchases like tops, bottoms, and outerwear.
2. Pick a Season
   • Plan ahead and decide which season you’re going to start adding more color to your wardrobe. Research magazines, Pinterest, Instagram and other sources to find seasonal wardrobe inspiration. When adding color to your wardrobe by season, I suggest focusing on certain clothing items. For example, if you want to start in the fall, focus on adding a few sweaters and maybe one or two jackets. Being selective about your additions will help you avoid overspending, and it’s a great way to build around the wardrobe you already have.
3. Have Fun
   • Incorporating color in your wardrobe should be fun! Don’t overthink the process like I did. Choose colors (and prints) that you enjoy wearing. Of course, I always suggest gathering fashion and style inspiration. However, when it comes to picking the right colors and prints for you, wear what makes you happy.
