The bright side: Ten jolts of colour to liven up a dreary summer

Loewe at Brown Thomas

The best way to get a dopamine hit during this dreary summer is through your wardrobe. 

The perennial colour-blocking trend will instantly refresh your style, making you feel invigorated. 

Think zesty citrus hues of lemon and lime, or be bold and beautiful in fiery red. 

Whatever you choose, always look on the bright fashion-forward side of life.
