Palette cleansers for your wardrobe

Star by Julien Macdonald Jacket £70 Blouse £32 Trousers £50

VIVID brights and clashing patterns can seem overwhelming after a season of sparkle, glitter and excess.
Which makes January the perfect time to inject some simplicity into your wardrobe with muted tones and simple silhouettes.
This season I’ll be embracing some of the new season’s more minimalistic pieces with a mixture of white hot items and neutral staples.
My recent attire of sparkly jumpers and colour blocking is about to be replaced with denim, khaki and breezy white as a method of “cleansing” my wardrobe.
Restrained and subdued, this season’s hottest trend is to avoid harsh hues and opt for a bit more of a laidback vibe.

Think ladies lunching in Paris; smart, stylish and easily put together. Yet this look can just be just as striking as a colour-clashing jumpsuit, just a whole lot more grown-up.
The great thing about the ‘palette cleanser’ trend is that it’s so wearable yet it still has spirit.
Femininity oozes from loose linen dresses and accessorising with a dash of baby pink keeps it warm but pretty.
For inspiration from the catwalks, try out a denim trench coat paired with fluid trousers for a serene but classic look.
Mix up monochrome with dusky pinks, denim blue and cool grey for added edge. Plus, this look is ultra-smart for work, meaning you’ll have no stress trying to pick out an outfit first thing.
Here are my picks of some of my favourite palette cleansers to help rejuvinate your look. Better than a spring clean any day of the week.
