Bold confidence isn’t just something you’re seeing on the red carpet anymore. Leave it to designers everywhere to embrace a color so vibrant that it leaves everyone questioning: “Should I?”, “Can I?”, “How do I?” From everyday denim looks to chinos to cargos, you’re bound to see everyone from your hairdresser to the click-clackers of Wall Street going for it, even when it’s not casual Friday. Weddings? All dependent on color scheme, this could be something unexpected to liven up your reception entrance down to your wedding party. Fear being “that guest”? Don’t bother! You don’t need to be an obvious playboy to jolt up this look. All it takes are the right combination of ingredients: sugar, spice and everything nice. And yes, I’m talking about your winning personality. When it comes to accessorizing, tone it down to truly succeed. With bright colors and patterns, it’s smarter to lay low to avoid distraction.
