Spring 2011 Trend: Vibrant Colour


If you’ve walked into any clothing stores over the past few weeks you’ll know there’s no avoiding the vibrant hues starting to take over the racks. Being one to stick with black 80% of the time, I have to admit, this loud and juicy new colour palette is actually tempting me to step out of my monotone safety zone and throw caution to the wind and experiment with some bold and bright colour.

If you are a colour novice like myself, yet you want to give the trend a try, tread with caution and combine colour with your neutrals as Beyonce’s little sis Solange has so perfectly done. Or, are you ready to jump straight into the deep end? Take inspiration from model Chanel Iman and Designer Lubov Azria in their vivid coloured frocks.

At the very least, the bold colour trend for Spring 2011 will brighten, energise and liven up the atmosphere, so why not get happy add some colour into your wardrobe this season.
