You´ve probably heard me say too many times that if you want to inject a quick dose of bold to an outfit; grab a bright colored bag. But Max Mara fashion house, in their spring 2014 collection, showed us that there is one way to go totally bold this season and that´s to wear one single color from head to toe.

This runway trend can easily fright anyone whose style tends to be subtle bold. I mean, girls who´d rather opt for the quiet statements. But I challenge you, just for once, step out of your comfort zone and try these head-to-toe bright looks which, even if ultra-bold, are still polished and put-together.

1. The Powerful All Red
Dress, Hat, Tights, Bag, Heels
Although our runway inspiration tells us that we can wear head-to-toe red or orange to meet up with the clients, I would opt to wear head-to-toe red for special events such as a lunch cruise or a wedding reception party.
I´m loving the grace and glamor of this floral lace gown which has a touch of modern romance. Style it up with a red shoulder bag, a red hat, red strap heels, and red opaque tights. It´s even better if you can make the shade of each piece exactly the same.

2. The Fresh All Green
If there´s any color that´s safest for you to wear from head to toe, it´s green. This color is fresh to the eye; it also symbolizes growth and harmony. In short, a huge green outfit is never painful to see.
I picked this green dress from Coast because I´m attracted to ruching of its skirt. It´s modern, chic, and slimming to your figure. To wear it to work, add a green blazer, a green satchel and green pumps. To wear it to date, wear it as is, grab a green clutch, and slip into this green lace up sandal.

3. The Confident All Blue
Blue is my favorite color so naturally, I was ecstatic to create this look. There are three options of blue midi dress from Coast. Although I was a bit unsure which one to pick for this lookboard, I eventually went for this boardroom-ready sophisticated blue dress because of its strategic waist feature. I know for once that many stylish girls are uncomfortable with dresses that strictly contour the body. This midi dress is smart and feminine, but it´s also comfortable and it lets you move with confidence.
Complete the look with a blue satchel bag, blue strap sandals, and blue opaque tights. Of course you can drop the tights if rather keep it less.
