First up is the classic combo of Pink & Blue which came out strong this Spring. You can carry it through the Summer and even into Fall with the right pieces, like this boucle jacket and trouser jeans. Pleats and trousers are back for 2023, and the cut really dresses up your everyday denim. Add a shoe in the pink tone, and pink and blue accessories to tie it all together. If denim is too casual for the office, you can substitute a navy or white pair of pleated trousers for the same look.
Another way to wear these shades is to select two complimentary or contrasting solids for the top and bottom pieces, and then choose one of those shades for all of your accessories. This is a simple style equation that can hardly go wrong. Choosing the brighter of the two shades for the accessories will add pops of color and bring the outfit alive.
Want to wow? Then choose a statement piece like this sheer duster. The beautiful color and swirling skirt will bring drama to any outfit. Add a solid body-skimming dress underneath, or go casual with a t-shirt and jeans. Again, finish with accessories in the star color to bring it all together.
Hot Summer days running errands call for loose and casual. Cargo pants are trending and work well with a tee for this laid-back monochromatic look. Add a simple earring and shoe, grab a lightweight tote, and you are ready to go. To change it up, you could sub a tank for the tee.
