If you end up buying the wrong clothes for 2012, you’ll look like a fool and you won’t have the money to dig yourself out of a hole. Do yourself a favour and go with the head instead of the heart this year – you’ll be surprised at just how great you could look if you play it safe with industry-recognised trends that we here at Money Guidebook have identified (or, well, our wives and their obsession with fashion mags).
So, before you go online to get yourself some summer dresses or you take an excursion to one of the many shopping centres across the UK, listen to these three top tips on colours and how to use them well.
Hawaiian prints are in, or at least they are according to the pages of the Luxe Report. They do, however, highlight how BeyoncĂ© has been embracing the pattern; it’s a great way to stand out, so long as you don’t go too far and end up looking like one of the blokes on the Foster’s advert.
Emerald green is the colour of summer and autumn. Men and women alike will find themselves separating themselves from the crowd in this shade, which is not only comforting on the eye in summer, but also quite enlightening when autumn hits.
If you’re going to get yourself some eye-opening dresses, swimwear or even just a nice skirt, go for assorted block colours; at least, that’s what they’re saying in Glamour!
