Add Print And Colour To Your Wardrobe With These Easy Looks

Fall/Winter trends generally tend to err on the dimmer side of the colour spectrum, which makes sense when you live in a country that experiences the full four seasons. But for us tropical dwellers, the dark colours and muted prints can become boring.

Take a cue from Rachel Soma George’s wardrobe, and mix eclectic prints and gorgeously rich colour to lift your wardrobe out from drab blacks and navy colours.

Who’s That Girl:
Rachel Soma George, 34
Banker / @rachinfashion

With her love of bright colour, textures and quirky accessories, Rachel proves that getting dressed for her job in banking is anything but a snooze. Instead, her fashion credit rating ranks high as she gamely tackles everything from tricky prints to a smattering of brooches in her day to day wear. Even when she’s in a regular pair of jeans, she’s always boosted by her veritable collection of gorgeous heels that keep her going places.
