9 Colourful Clothing Brands To Add To Your Wardrobe This Spring
Spring cleaning never looked so good.
Forget the capsule wardrobe convention on TikTok. While it seems like your algorithm’s favouring the muted — albeit chic — moodboard of understated greys, whites, and blacks, sometimes you just need to go against the grain and embrace colour. We’re talking mismatched palettes, patterns upon patterns, and rich, saturated hues that bring out our boldest and baddest selves. We’ve picked out labels from across the globe — Denmark, Australia, London, Paris, and India — to add some spring in your step this season.

Silk suits and crochet co-ords that’ll survive the humidity in Singapore? We’re in.

Whether you love making a bold statement of colour or prefer to get lost in prints, Zimmermann’s the label for you. Leave it to the Aussies to inject structure into resortwear — their collection could potentially take you from the beach side to the boardroom, if you dare. Their sculptural take on dresses, kaftans, and separates ensure that the prints accentuate the movements of your body as you beach-hop from Bondi to Bronte.

Another Aussie on our list, Mister Zimi is great for the modest girlies who aren’t into showing much skin. Known for their 70s-inspired maxi and midi dresses, Mister Zimi’s florals are anything but dainty — they’re graphic, modern, and christened with a girlish charm. Add to cart for your next avo toast and goss sesh.

When you wear a piece from Jodi, you’re wearing a work of art — literally. The bold and beautiful prints of this Indian fashion house champion artisanal craftsmanship such as handblock printing, bandhani dyeing (where small portions of cloth are pinched and tied into tiny bindings that form a figurative design out of an intricate pattern of dots), and hand embroidery.

Rixo's threads give off the same energy as your grandma’s closet from the 60’s and 70’s. Think cocktail dresses of yore, updated with a contemporary eye. It’s giving thrifted, but trendy — and yet, timeless, too. This British label’s tagline should very well be “more is more”, with bohemian prints inspired by faraway travels, and florals straight out of English garden parties.
