It's grey outside can I wear colour now?
 
 


For those that reach for the grey, brown and black this season - STOP!

For some reason there is this misconception that once Fall comes around we must pack up all our colourful duds and swap them for black, grey and brown. This is not the case, the bright colours of summer simply transform into the warm and earthy tones of fall. Take your cue from nature; it certainly continues to don its colours all year round.

How to Wear Colour Now

1. Pair a colour with a neutral in clothing
Look for a great raspberry top, pair it with neutral grey or beige pant or skirt or a skinny jean (for the weekend).  If you wear a bold colour on top keep makeup neutral.
2. Makeup
If you can't commit to colour in your clothing then try this season's hottest eye colour purple.  Wear it during the day with a neutral lip and go from day to night with an orange lipstick.

3. Nails
One of the easiest and inexpensive ways to add colour to a dreary day is on your nails.  And you can actually admire it all day, while you work away on your computer! Try this season's and next's hottest colour, yes once again, orange! Below essie clam bake (one of Essie's favourite colour from the past 30 years).


So as you can see there are plenty of ways to incorporate colour into your look post-summer. Don't be afraid to try different shades, just pair bolds with neutrals and you'll look great throughout the coming fall and winter seasons!
