The Color Fest Outfit is full of bold colors but is not overwhelming in the least! It’s a super casual outfit perfect for any informal occasion! Let me know what you think about this outfit in the comments below!

The Shirt
This shirt dress is one of my favorite wardrobe items. It’s basically a long button up so it really helps with staying modest. You can get this shirt in tall sizing as well, but I think with the shorter cardigan the current length is good as it is. Since it’s short sleeve, you may want to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath to keep warm if you plan on wearing this outfit without a jacket!
The Cardigan
This cardigan inspired the whole outfit! I really like the strips and the big balloon sleeves, and the fact that it doesn’t have a cinched hem. The colors are really bold and you can easily make the outfit more colorful by wearing pants that match any of the stripes, like orange. If I was an elementary or preschool teacher I think I would be wearing this cardigan a lot!
The Jeans
I like these jeans because although they’re baggy, they curve slightly on the hem, which gives a straighter silhouette than some other baggy jeans I’ve owned. They’re also high-waisted which I prefer since it provides extra coverage in case your shirt lifts up, and also it’s just more comfortable in my opinion. The color of the jeans also matches well with the cardigan- plus the darker jean color works well with bold colors to mute them, since they would stand out more against a lighter background.
The Coat
This is a classic navy blue puffer coat. I would size up since it is made to fit tighter around the waist. I like that it’s long so it hits between the waist and the knees so it kind of looks like a coat dress! It’s also long enough to cover up the cardigan and the shirt dress so that they don’t stick out from underneath. I also like the big hood with the inner layer around the neck to help keep you extra insulated and toasty!
The Shoes
Ah, the classic red converse high tops. These are super casual shoes and match the vibe of the cardigan. There’s not really any red stripes in the cardigan, only dark orange, but introducing a similar enough color with the red shoes looks more visually interesting than simply matching the shoe color to one of the stripes.
The Hijab
I picked a dark blue hijab to match with the cardigan. Similar to the shoes, there isn’t an exact shade of blue in the cardigan like the hijab but it still works to add visual appeal. The jersey fabric of the hijab adds to the overall casual feel of the look, while the darker color works to offset the brightness of the rest of the items.
The Accessories
For accessories I decided to lean into the orangeness of the cardigan, supplementing the outfit with a large orange crossbody for extra casual points, and orange colored sunglasses for an additional splash of color. Orange and blue are good contrasting colors so having the blue hijab and the orange sunglasses in the same vicinity, as well as the navy blue jacket and orange bag, helps to create a fun contrasting look!
