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 glow of Christmas.
Luckily, there are ways to lighten up the darkness – and one of those magic tricks is making smarter sartorial choices.
If you find yourself reaching for black, gray, brown and darker shades, you are getting into the overall negative atmosphere of the month.
However, if you go for colorful colors instead, your mood and outlook will improve.
Even one technicolor piece has the power to change your day, and those who are afraid of striking clothes need not worry because they can subtly get into the trend with fashion accessories.
Why not try Converse’s baby blue Chuck Taylors? Or add Arket’s multicolored hair claw to a simple day look?
A sweater in rainbow colors is an easy way to improve your everyday look, while striking pants and ‘clutch’ shoes and bags will flood you with compliments and make your day even better.
Whether you’re ready to jump in with the rainbow or want to embrace new shades in a less obvious way, the high street is packed with options.
We’ve rounded up the pieces you’ll see in January in color.
