Bright Colours

Caribou

If sheet rain and gale force winds are putting a dampener on you summer wardrobe, lighten up your day with some bright blocks of colour.  As these natty musicians prove clashing colours are nothing to be afraid of, especially if you follow a few guideline dos and don’ts.  
It’s best not to wear bright colour with black unless as a statement item – for instance a black suit with a red bag  might be a go-er.  In most cases though, brown and grey bring out bright colours to their full potential.  Cheap fabrics let colours down but invest in quality and you will shine like a jewel.  If you’re brave enough to do head to toe colour then either think like Quentin Crisp and stick to shades of one tone, or take inspiration from Caribou and the Beatles and get your bandmates in on the act to create a rainbow vision.  Kick start this look with bright tops from American Apparel and sexy jeans from sustainable producers Hi-Dee.
