Ask a Stylist: How to Wear Colour

 

When it comes to colour, I always say the same thing. It has the power to completely lift your outfit and your mood. Whether you are walking into a meeting, heading out for coffee with friends, or just getting dressed for the day, the right colour can bring a little brightness to even the simplest of looks.

If your wardrobe leans heavily towards neutrals and the idea of wearing colour feels slightly daunting, you are not alone. But it does not have to feel dramatic or out of character. A small change can make a big difference, and experimenting with colour can actually be a lot of fun.

You do not need to start from scratch. If you are unsure where to begin, choose one colour that you already know you feel good in. It could be a soft blue, a warm yellow, or a pale pink. Building around something familiar is the easiest way to start introducing colour into your wardrobe.

Blue and yellow are especially lovely for spring. At TBCo, we are also big fans of pink and green. One of my favourite pairings from our current collection is lilac and olive. It feels fresh and versatile. The kind of combination that still works beautifully with denim and classic white pieces but adds something a little more interesting.

You can absolutely lean into boldness if that feels like your style. Colour clashing is one of the season’s most playful trends. Think of mixing red with pink, or pairing green with orange. It is expressive, joyful, and a bit unexpected.

If your style is a little more pared back, focus on complementary shades. These are tones that sit close to each other on the colour wheel, like lilac with sage, or soft blue with grey. They create a subtle shift from your usual neutrals without feeling like too much.
 

Wearing colour should never feel like pressure. It is meant to be fun, and it should feel like an extension of your own taste. Start small if that helps. A colourful top with classic jeans. A striped set that you can mix and match. Even a colourful accessory can change the feel of an outfit.

There is no right or wrong way to wear colour. The key is to choose pieces that feel like you, and to enjoy the process of finding what works.
