A colourful bag is vitamin C for any outfit: It provides an instant lift. Don’t fret over a seemingly risky purchase: The cost per wear of a non-black bag nets out. That’s because shades this vibrant are classics. Most importantly, they go with everything.
Factor in the size (a handy go-anywhere messenger bag) and you’ve got a functional travel buddy at your side.

If this isn’t the sartorial version of “I got this!” then we don’t know what is. Here’s proof that great things happen when a classic outerwear silhouette connects with jaw-dropping colour.
Up for any outing and guaranteed to elevate whatever is happening underneath, it’s equally good for a spin with casual stuff, so, bring on the jeans and sneakers.

The secret to successfully pulling off two colours in one outfit? Contrasting tones and textures. Aim for a little of the former and a lot of the latter.
A sophisticated approach involves mixing and matching shades that hang out on the same side of the colour wheel while pairing nubby textiles with smooth ones. Oh, and a hint of animal print is always the answer.

The magic of colourful jewellery is that it packs a punch without overwhelming your look. Face-framing statement earrings are the accessory du jour, but a fantastic necklace or a set of bracelets looks just as impressive.
Choose an accent that focuses on shape rather than sparkle to deliver a modern look that’s an effortless match to updated basics, like a collared shirt.
