Ask Anton: Hot Colors

Dear Anton, Brights are back, or so everyone seems to be saying, but how many "hot colors" can I wear at once? -Ali

Dear Ali,
Brights are indeed the hot item to have in this season’s wardrobe. Versace, Lanvin, and YSL all had glorious splashes of color on the catwalk; shock yellow, emerald green, cobalt blue and fuchsia seemed the hues of the hour. If you want to invest in some brightly colored bits, accessories are the most obvious and versatile route to take. Bolder is better; bags should be large and slouchy. Juicy offers the Flat Lock Fluffy Bag in Well Coifed in just the right size. Shoes should be lofty and patent. The best way to manage the right look is by limiting it to two colors. By day, a neutral toned outfit will be jazzed up by a big colored slouchy bag and tan shoes, or add tan or natural snakeskin accessories to a bright outfit. More than that and you will look like an 80's throwback. Evening is when lots of color is more acceptable than at any other time. Again, stick to two colors, but this time leave neutrals well alone. A prime example would be mixing our Keyhole Dress in Lemon from Whish, a tonal bag (see the Envelope Clutch in Mustard by BCBG), and add a splash of fuchsia or cobalt in the shoes. Play with contrast - you’ll stand out from the crowd, and for all the right reasons.
I hope this helps,
Anton
