There seems to be a prevailing notion among fashion people that chic outfits are often reserved for a specific look: buttoned-up, timeless, and neutral-toned looks that withstand the test of time (and any micro-trend cycle). Nude, black, white, and brown tones are easy to wear, usually being the go-to color palettes for busy, elegant people leading busy, elegant lives. And while it's easy to fall into the trap of an all-black outfit being the only thing you wear on repeat to look put-together, I'm here to show you the light: colorful, fun outfits can be chic if you're willing to step out of the box of the drab, all-neutral looks your For You page is pushing.
Spring is around the corner, and there's no better time than now to spice up your wardrobe and introduce colorful pieces for the warmer months ahead. While these spring color combinations might be weird or kooky to some, they have the stamp of approval from luxury brands like Prada, Jil Sander, Auralee, and Tibi. Honestly, if it's good enough for Miuccia, it's good enough for me!
Below, scroll through some "weird" color combinations—past and present—fashion people love when it comes to creating an eye-catching, neck-turning, head-scratching outfit. You might be divided on some of these, but trust me, they're pretty chic and elegant if I do say so myself.
