Seven of the best…Brights

We’ll never tell you to throw away your LBD but be prepared for a sensational colour comeback this year.

The runways were filled with a paintbox of shades from lime green at Prabal Gurung to lemon sherbet at Jason Wu. Pops of bubble gum pink were seen at Versace and Emilio Pucci while juicy orange shone at Proenza Schouler.

So, after two years of doom, gloom, feeling blue and wearing greige are we ready to embrace the rainbow?

We took a look, so you don’t have to and found seven of the best brights to bring joy and colour to your wardrobe this winter…

Could this green midi from Jigsaw (£250) replace your favourite little black dress? By adding the blue roll neck it becomes the perfect, put together day dress but by adding a heel and chunky, gold jewellery it’s instantly transformed for evening.

Ok, I know, you’re thinking ‘my favourite Scottish style magazine has lost the plot!’ But bear with… The boiler suit has been around for a while now and (despite the getting to the loo issue) it is absolutely here to stay. And you know why? It looks great on everyone. Size, height, age, we all look good in it. A strappy sandal, chunky trainer, boot, it goes with all your footwear and is the most versatile piece in your wardrobe. This incredibly chic retro design from & Other Stories is in the perfect shade to have you bang on trend (£120).

This cosy co-ord from Mango is hitting the right colour notes and you can mix and match if head to toe pink is a bridge too far. Team the knitted skirt (£29.99) with a black polo neck and chunky boot for an edgy but chic day look. While the super soft cardi (£29.99) has an elegant neckline and can be worn every which way.

We’ve spotted many a fashion forward celeb giving their otherwise muted outfits, a much needed pop of colour using accessories. This mule (£159) from Kurt Geiger does the very same. Keep everything else tonal and let your shoes do the talking.

Same goes for this cute handbag by Kate Spade (£195)

Print is also back for ‘22 (but more of that another day) and this adorable sweater (£55.20) from Oasis will carry you right through. Brings the right amount of zing to an everyday outfit - for even the most colour averse.

Can’t stop thinking about this spring chicken faux fur from Mango - a bit big bird or just totally gorgeous? For just £79.99 we might just have to find out!
