If you’re open to adding more character to your outfits, but your signature style is classic and colourless, sometimes putting on a loud party shirt can feel unnatural and a little out of the blue.
To get accustomed to the idea of colour and prints, we suggest following these simple style tips.
1. Start with socks

1. Start with socks
You don’t need to drastically change your style to stand out. A patterned pair of socks is the easiest way to introduce colour to any look. When you’re feeling confident, consider rolling your cuffs to show them off, or style them with a pair of shorts.
2. Tie in accessories

3. Update your basics

If you’re not ready to commit to colour, consider layers that you can easily remove. Think jackets, jumpers, sweaters or even an overshirt – outer layers that you don’t have to wear all day.
