After seasons of quiet luxury and restrained palettes, fashion is turning the saturation all the way up. Across recent runways, designers are embracing colour with renewed confidence, pairing shades that might once have been considered unlikely bedfellows. At Loewe, bold primary and secondary hues collided in unexpected combinations, while Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Balenciaga debut and Jacquemus have made similarly convincing cases for getting a little more adventurous with the colour wheel.

The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your wardrobe to get involved. The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your wardrobe to get involved. Ease in by pairing one bold pop of colour with a grounding neutral, or embrace the mood wholeheartedly with complementary combinations such as green and pink or blue and red. Already comfortable with colour? Contrasting accessories can make an already-bold outfit pop even further. From cherry-red sandals and lemonade-yellow bags to cornflower blue, emerald green and aubergine, these are the dopamine-boosting pieces making a case for dressing happier this season.
