Trend: THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL!


Bright colors and bold patterns are popping up in every major fashion line this spring and summer. There are so many different ways that you can incorporate bright colors and bold prints into your every-day wardrobe! Whether you are a daring fashionista who enjoys pushing fashion boundaries or someone who prefers a more subtle approach to fashion, there are plenty of ways to incorporate this fun trend this spring! Whether you choose to rock a staggering notice-me-bag, shoes, or dress, adopting this trend is guaranteed to glamorize your spring and summer wardrobe in a major way!

DARE TO BE BOLD:

Lines such as Mara Hoffman, Ramona LaRue, and Alexis are incorporating bold patterns and bright, neon colors into their designs this spring. These designers all feature pieces in their spring collections that have stunning head-to-toe bold patterns in bright colors. Wear any of the outfits shown below to make a statement this spring!

When wearing a whole outfit in a bright color or bold pattern, make sure to pair it with more subtle accessories. Shoes in a neutral color are always a good option for pairing with a daring outfit!

Whether you’re at a poolside party, running errands, or even at an elegant evening affair, there is a great way for you to wear this fun trend. No matter the occasion, Swank has the perfect outfit to ensure that you make a splash this spring!

Add a POP of Color to Any Outfit:

Even if you aren’t comfortable rocking head-to-toe bold patterns or bright colors, you can still enjoy this fun trend in a more subtle way! Simply choose one article of clothing to be your pop of color in your outfit.

You can still wear a bright pair of shorts or a colorful top without looking like you’re going to a rave. Try choosing one article of clothing in a bright color and then stick to neutral colors for the remaining pieces of your outfit.

You can also rock a bold pattern in a more subtle way. Instead of wearing an outfit that has a bold pattern in a bright color, try wearing a bold pattern that is in subtle earth tones. This is also a great way to wear this trend at work!

Spice Up Any Outfit with a Bold Handbag, Accessories, or Shoes:

This is such an easy way to add a little pizzazz to any outfit this spring! Don’t be afraid to go all out with this trend.

If you are feeling extra daring, try pairing your outfit with accessories or a handbag in bright neon colors!

Adding bright shoes, like the Coraline wedges shown below, will help you look bold and beautiful from head to toe!
