How to wear it

Contrast is welcome: a bright accent against navy or charcoal looks deliberate.
One clear color near the face does more than several at once.
Polished gold or bright silver both work; shine suits this season.

Bright Spring outfit idea: flat-lay in Bright Spring colors — *1. An easy Bright Spring outfit: bright navy trousers + clear turquoise knit + clear ivory shirt + coral scarf.*

Remember: color seasons are a convention, not a scientific fact about anyone. Fabric, dye, screens and daylight all shift how a color looks.
