Yes gentlemen, it’s time once again to shed your bleak black-and-grey winter uniforms and bask in the inspirational glow of seasonal sunshine. Awaken the stylistic daring that lies dormant for the more frigid half of the year and bust out some exciting colorful accessories. Whether you start small and subtle with orange-framed sunglasses or a bright lapel pin, or unleash the beast with sky blue kicks or a festive yellow hat, colorful accessories inject your outfit with a healthy dose of personality.
Outfit 1: Don’t be mistaken – brightly hued accessories aren’t a reason to restrict the rest of your outfit to the confines of banality. They’re actually solid grounds for a playful look that dabbles in multiple color schemes, as demonstrated here. This young man has amped up his already colorful outfit with blue patent shoes and a blue and orange tote (he must have referred to the feature on complementary color pairing a few weeks back), and doesn’t he look smugly aware of his style prowess. Again, I can’t stress enough how fantastic (and fashionable) an excuse rolled cuffs are to show the world what impeccable taste you have in footwear.
Outfit 2: Peep this sexy little nerd. He’s kept it trendy-casual with heavy black frames, some horizontal stripes, a denim jacket and chocolate spectators, but what sets him apart from the myriad hipster street-strutters sporting nearly identical outfits is his bright yellow belt. It adds a welcome splash of pigment to an area where the sun don’t usually shine, and in so doing spices up his whole ensemble.
