Style Notes: This is an outfit Harry Styles is a fan of. Wear a Peter Pan collared shirt over a bright knit.
Style Notes: Opt for loungewear in cheery colours like this buttercup yellow.
Style Notes: There really are no rules when it comes to wearing colours in 2021, as it’s all about clashes, such as red shoes paired with bright-pink dresses.
