Bright-colored leggings, coats, and bags are cropping up everywhere this season, proving that you don't have to succumb to a drab wardrobe in drab weather.
Designers such as Michael Kors (shown left), Carolina Herrera, and Tibi have featured bright hues in their collections for Fall 2009.
How do you wear this look? Simple.
If you don't want to look like a giant highlighter, pick a brightly-colored coat in a refined, tailored cut (ie. not a poncho). The Shield Button Coat from Forever 21 pairs a rich, royal blue with the simplicity of a double-breasted jacket. The result is an updated take on an old classic.
If you're hesitant to deck your entire body out in colors of the rainbow, try simply adding a splash of color to your outfit.
The Faryn Pocket Scarf by Fossil, $48, will add the right touch of brightness to a basic black ensemble without seeming overbearing.
The candy-colored collection of tights and leggings from American Apparel make it easy to transform that little black dress into a party-ready ensemble in a snap.
Their RSAPH Opaque Pantyhose come in dozens of colors (my favorite being this bright purple) and are only $14 each!
Pair some of these with black flats and you'll look anything but boring!
Have a great Fall, 2009!
