Styling Tips

Use your brighter pieces (like the coral shirt or warm blue blazer) as statement items, pairing them with more neutral pieces.

Don’t be afraid to combine warm colours – this is a strength of the True/Warm Spring palette.

Accessories are a great way to add pops of colour to otherwise neutral outfits.

Remember that fit is just as important as colour. Ensure all items in your capsule wardrobe fit you well.

As you become more comfortable with your True/Warm Spring palette, feel free to expand this capsule wardrobe.

You might add more variety in your warm, clear colours or incorporate patterned items that combine multiple True/Warm Spring hues.
