Admit it. We can dress up January as a fresh start all we want, but in reality it’s a dull and dreary month after the sparkle of Christmas.
Fortunately, there are ways to lighten up the darkness—and one of those magic tricks is smarter clothing choices.
If you find yourself reaching for blacks, grays, browns, and darker shades, you’re feeding off of the moon’s overall negative vibe.
However, if you gravitate towards colorful fragments instead, your mood and outlook will be encouraged to improve.
Even one technicolor piece has the power to change your day, and those who fear flashy outfits needn’t worry as they can subtly accessorize the trend.
Why not try baby blue Chuck Taylors from Converse? Or add Arket’s multicolored hair claw to a simple daytime look?
A rainbow sweater is an easy way to upgrade your everyday look, while statement trousers and ‘combat’ shoes and bags will flood you with compliments and brighten your day.
Whether you’re ready to jump in with the whole rainbow or want to embrace new shades in a less obvious way, the high street is full of options.
We’ve rounded up pieces that will see you make January colorful.
