Reality is that rules don't really exist when it comes to mastering this trend so using random blocks of colour for your outfit is the most fun and vibrant way to express your style personality, but while there are a plethora of colours on the street, most of the favourite fashion icons are combining rich and deep shades with soothing pastels proving that going high in hues can earn you the top style spot among your fellow fashion enthusiasts. Along with, of course, keeping the balance between vibrant and neutral in mind, to ace the spring-friendly look effortlessly.
