There's an easy way to beat the Winter doldrums — and it doesn't involve a tanning bed. A cold-weather pick-me-up is as easy as adding a dose of electric color to your look. And if you think megawatt color is strictly seasonal, let these trendsetters challenge your old assumptions. We've spotted celebs stepping out in bold brights on suits, à la Blake Lively in cobalt Elie Saab separates, Read more
From Prabal Gurung's hot-pink flared pants to Yigal Azrouël's cobalt ankle-crop trousers, brights were seen everywhere on the Fall runways. However, we all know models make wearing the trend look a lot easier than it really is, so we asked Fab reader Stefanie to show us how she works her brights for Fall. Needless to say, the cutie, who also has her own cool fashion-meets-DIY blog dubbed The Read more
We saw the microtrends brewing earlier this Spring — Prada's stripes, Christopher Kane's neon, Gucci's colorblocking, and J.Crew's color-injected collections for Spring and Summer. It was all building toward a major color moment. Now, as we consider the spectrum of ways to wear color, we're garnering style inspiration from a slew of celebrities who make it work. From Rachel Roy's crisp Read more
We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab! With the exception of my neon green Blackberry case, I generally tend to steer clear of super bright hues. Instead, I gravitate toward a softer, muted palette—one that I find more flattering against my blond, pale-ish coloring, and one that isn't so, well, LOUD. However, this season's penchant for brights (along with Jil Sanders' Read more
The weather in NYC yesterday was unseasonably warm and quite sunny. Walking down West 19th street in the afternoon wind, I had a sudden and violent urge to don bright colors and a bold pattern or two — at the same time. As the dirty snow piles get smaller and smaller, my visions of cherry blossoms and green leaves become more and more vivid. The punchy stripes at Prada's Spring/Summer 2011 show Read more
Pucci was born to be wild. Even the name is fun to say. Matthew Williamson has since departed the house, but what he left was a sizzling Summer collection. Green and blue psychedelic prints abound, with the occasional flirtatious burst of pink. Then there's the one technicolor surprise that has already inspired a party outfit. All these worn by one flexible model has me wondering: Is it Summer Read more
Kudos to Kate Beckinsale for going all neon like with her louder-than-loud Marc Jacobs handbag. Not one to challenge fashion in her day-to-day, Kate works this bold look aright. When the sun is shining, but you want your bag to shine brighter, keep the rest of your look simple and chic. Dark denim, black and grey are perfect backdrops for a neon bag that screams for attention. Shop This Look Read more
With a credo to make the world a happier place, Millions of Smiles is bringing color (and stripes!) back into our lives. The collection of fine knitwear is brimming with fun and colorful stripes, and the long and lean cuts are perfect for layering. An extensive collection can be found at Shopbop. Summer is definitely a time show off your colorful side, and these pieces would be perfect for some Read more
I'm so excited to see that you all are embracing this season's colors as much as I am. It's so easy to get sucked in to all the bright & Springy items out there, right? Judging from your fab finds, I'd say that's an affirmative. The Fab Finder of the week is cnyc1a, because she found this funky Chloe Saskia patchwork pouchette that Kate Bosworth so loves. Every week the Fab Finder I Read more
Hot pink is on fire these days. From Mary-Kate Olsen's belt to me at LA Fashion Week to Nicky Hilton's full-fledged obsession with the hue, it's practically everywhere you turn. Of course, it helps that it's traceable from miles away. Anne Hathaway adopted the trend by sporting bright pink sunnies on the set of her new movie, Bride Wars. Like Anne, limit the hot pink items in your outfit to Read more
