Yellow Blazer Two Ways: How to Pair Bold Brights

Fashion, Style

Pairing bold brights is very hip right now, which I love because bright, bold colors are one of my favorite things to wear!  Wearing a blazer in a bright color is a great way to add a twist to a conventional classic.  People often buy neutral clothes thinking they’ll go with everything, but beware… if everything you buy is neutral you could end up looking boring…and nobody wants that.  These outfits are anything but!

Casual

This is a casual-dressy look that is a definite attention grabber.  If you choose a bold shirt, stick to neutral accessories.  If you wear a bold bag, keep your outfit neutral, like the one above. The key is to pick two bold colors.  If you add in more then you risk looking like a clown…especially in a blazer as bright and yellow as this one.

Going Out

I love this outfit because it’s sexy without trying too hard.  If you wear bold colors, like the ones in the outfit above, you already look confident, which in-turn makes you look sexy.  A long-sleeved, high-necked mini dress is chic and effortless.
