Spotlight on Color: Coral

It may not be Spring just yet, but that doesn’t mean we can’t brighten up our grey winter days with some pops of bright color. As spring collections start rolling into stores, brights are everywhere, and we LOVE them.

But if you typically stick to neutrals, all this color may be overwhelming. So let us show you how to wear one of Spring’s staple colors—gorgeous sunset coral—from bashful to bold!

1.  Pop of Color: Not ready for full-blown color-mania? That’s ok. You can still join in the fun by adding a simple pop to your more conservative color scheme. These new elegant square scarves from Look by M ($24) are the perfect way to sneak in color subtly. Add to a white button down and slim navy trousers for a Hepburn-esque elegance.

2.  Key Piece: If you’re ready to venture into something a bit more adventurous, consider throwing on a signature piece in the eye-catching shade. We love this soft blazer from BCBG ($118) to wear with a silky cami and jeans for a day-to-night look, or even over a wool sheath for a creative office look. You’ll fall in love with the drapey feel, and the color will brighten any complexion.

3.  Bold Color: Ready to shine bright through the grey? Wonderful! This spring, you’ll see both solid and printed dresses full of uplifting coral. Some or our favorites are this Kensie “animal” dress with faux snakeskin stitching ($86), this sexy BCBG dress ($98) perfect for a night out, and this incredible abstract Tracy Reese dress ($126) that is a piece of art unto itself. Welcome to the big leagues of color ladies.

Whether winter sticks around til March or our mild weather stays (#knockonwood), adding in some brights to your winter wardrobe is a fantastic way to pave the path to spring. It will uplift your mood and make others smile as well.

Stop by the Julep for even more beautiful brights! We’d love to help you find your perfect pop of color.
