In the spring, it's a good idea to add some new hues to your wardrobe. Wearing new layers of clothing with a little or a lot of colours can help a great deal when the weather is erratic.

Whether your closet is full of neutrals and needs a heavy dose of brights done the right way or you already know how to use the colour wheel and just want to learn a few new tricks, we have just the thing—five things, to be exact—to wake up your closet.

Choose Colors That Complement One Another

Finding a pair of colours that work well together is only half the battle. Try mixing in some green for a subtler nod if you wear mostly brown. Choose an orange or yellow outfit if you're in the mood to get things moving. If the colour schemes you've come up with look nice together, you're on the right track.

Spin On Your Tried-And-True Basics

If you're tired of wearing the same black, brown, or grey every day, try switching things up by donning a brightly coloured top layer. It will put a new spin on the routine and jazz up an otherwise basic outfit.

The best part is that you can easily find a jacket, hoodie, or pullover that you will want to wear all season long due to the wide variety of styles available. All you have to do is make sure that the rest of your accessories, from your shoes to your handbag, go well with it (refer to the first piece of advice).

Don't Let the Top Get Dark

Now is the time to clean up your living situation and make things easier on yourself. Splash some colour into your wardrobe to show that you're not afraid to take on challenges that may seem out of reach. Keep to solid colours so that your outfits can be easily coordinated, and top it off with an outerwear item that flaunts your bold colour choice, insulates your core, and lets air in so that you can face whatever the spring season throws at you.

Don't Be Afraid To Go For A Fun Print!

Change is the theme of the spring season. Could you please tone it down a bit? Yes, but at this point we must wait and see what happens.

People may express gratitude if you manage to brighten their day (maybe). Pair your statement piece with muted colours and complementary footwear to show that you are not afraid to take fashion risks. You can demonstrate your willingness to take chances by doing this.

Don't Forget To Wear Pink! 

There are many ways to wear pink, but if you know how to do it right, you can get away with anything. A "9-to-5" inspired look is a good starting point if you're feeling stumped. Pick a light blue button-down shirt with a pink (or coral, or washed-out red) and a complementary colour pattern. Keep the classics and slimmer fits in mind when shopping for a new shirt.
