\"NY-streetstyle-colours1\"<\/span><\/a>Marie France answers:<\/strong><\/p>

Colorful looks can be great, but somehow we think that they tend to look better on others. It is mostly because we\u2019re not sure how to wear them and always fearing of ending up like a clown! So we stick to the safe monochromes instead. But fear not, dare to be a little brave and follow in these well-dressed fashionistas\u2019 footsteps \u2013 whom we spotted on the streets of New York and Milan \u2013 and who still manage to wear colour without risking an OTT effect:<\/p>

Afraid of a daring combination? Play it safe and try\u00a0white + bright colours.<\/strong>\u00a0This summer, we\u2019re loving the meadow green and beautiful coral colour combo. And for the evening, apply the same principle: but mix black with Klein blue.<\/p>

But if you do not want to mix colours, there is another easy solution too: the little solid dress<\/strong> in a beautiful fresh colour. It's a no-brainer on what to wear it with!<\/p>

\"New-York-str-streetstyle-colours3\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

Tame the halftones.<\/strong> A pink top with orange can be very pretty, but you\u2019re not there yet. Try to marry muted colors like dark wine with neutral colors like navy or beige.<\/p>

Still not too sure? Put on a colorful accessory<\/strong>! It is perfect for raising a serious look. We absolutely love how the touch of a fluorescent shade boosts any outfit.<\/p>

Shopping ideas:<\/strong> the\u00a0lagoon blue dress<\/a>\u00a0from Zara (USD89.90), and\u00a0<\/a>flashy yellow sandals<\/a>\u00a0from ASOS (USD76.36).<\/p>
