How to Style Marigold; Quick 5s

Skirt by @mysallybawa

The key focus is a marigold skirt. you can apply all style ideas to whatever marigold piece you may have.

Look 1: Lets go color blocking

Blending colors with marigold is always a good idea. go all out with a bright color to create a color block look. green is always a stunner and wearing a mini dress with this marigold skirt gives it a very chic look.

Little accessories like a skinny belt breaks the look and makes it more stylish, go with colored earrings and printed shoes for that extra color block fiasco.

Look 2 : Add metallics

You would think pairing marigold with silver or metallic colors would never work together, but , i say they are a match made in fashion.
pairing a silver blouse even further tones down the brightness of this color trend , which allow you to play with other colors like adding a pair of red shoes to the look, or any other color you desire.

Look3 : Floral magic

Pairing a floral blazer with this marigold skirt is such a stunner. It gives a very rich look and can convinently take you from a day to night look. The trick is to add some fun minimal accessories, preferably gold to complete the look.

Look 4: Talking Prints

wearing prints is always a great idea with any style of clothing. Pairing prints with marigold is such an effortless yet fun way to style this color trend. to add more zest to the look, i tied up the skirt t to make it extra chic and went with pastel green strappy sandals.

Look 5: Slip into it.

slip dress / blouse are so on trend this season and also for 2020.
For a night out , go with a sultry slip dress or blouse with a marigold skirt , it immediately gives you a very fun yet flirty look, add some fun accessories like tassel earrings and finish up with ankle strappy shoes or a shoe stopping pair of shoes and let your hair down for the night.

Style tips:

  • Marigold is a bright color, but you can also have fun playing with different bright colors or cool tone colors.
  • minimal accessories is the way to go with this color trend.
  • Always wear what you are most comfortable in, this way, you will have more fun experimenting with this trend.
  • Have fun while wearing this trend. style should be enjoyed.
