Choose bright, vivid colors

There’s no better way to celebrate the optimism of spring than by adding mood-boosting hues to your closet! Try incorporating one of the Pantone 2021 colors of the year””Illuminating””into your wardrobe with a bright yellow dress, blouse, or skirt. If you want to make a statement, look for trendy neon accessories to accent basic pieces. Or, take a more subtle approach with soft pastels. Light pink, lilac, baby blue, and mint green are perfect choices for everything from blazers, jumpsuits, and shorts to hats, handbags, and sunglasses.
