Pull Off Brights Without Looking Like A Fashion Clown



For those who reserve bright colors for the warmer months, this will figure into your shopping for spring, but even in winter a splash of electric color never hurt anyone. Actually it`s quite the opposite – if done properly. It`s a big if, so consider these thoughts on how to pull off the new bright colored purses trend without looking like a misguided ski bunny from the 90`s.

Marc Jacobs bags aren`t the only new 2011 purses with the neon glow of 70`s glam as their inspiration. There is of course his collection of LV handbags catching everyone`s attention, but, always bright and flirty,The important thing to remember about these clutches, especially if you`ve been pouring over the catwalk photos is that many of those clothes belong on the catwalk! Pairing the purple Galuchat above with a full purple and yellow jumpsuit, even in LA, is not recommended. Think white or cream in spring and summer. For winter avoid pairing it with ski jackets or overly colorful accessories at all costs. Let these clutches handle the color for you. Wear a neutral outfit.

With the color blocked examples above you don`t want to add another color, at risk of the rainbow effect, so if you choose to compliment the bright look with more color, make it one of the three in the clutch.
