Taking a look at your capsule closet, do you see some color missing? It can be hard to add colorful items to your wardrobe due to the constant fear that you will have nothing to wear them with.

The good news is, that pops of color are trending and they don't have to be the same color or shade to match. You can wear a green bag with purple shoes and call it fashion. That makes it easy on you if you have a lot of basic pieces in your closet to spice things up with a simple pop of color.

Check out these 10 ways to add a pop of color to any outfit that is easy, accessible and probably sitting in your closet already.

10 Let The Jewelry Have Its Moment

One of the most basic ways to make a pop on any basic outfit, that is not necessarily color, is letting jewelry have its moment. You can pair three chunky chain necklaces with your favorite hoop earrings and let the shimmer from the gold be the pop of color and shine that you were looking for.

You can add chunky jewelry to any black, white or beige outfit, but don't shy away from wearing it on top of bright colors either.

9 Colorful  Eye Makeup

You can get a pop of color that has nothing to do with your clothes: add some color to your eye makeup such as neon eyeliner or colorful eye shadow.

Both of these trends are easy to do, just add some color with our pencil or finger and call it a day - no blending or complicated methods necessary. Make your eyes pop with a dash of color.

8 A Popping Lipstick

Other than eye makeup, you can get that pop of color on your lips. Have a few shades of lipstick at home that you keep in your rotation from a cherry red to a dark fusion or bubble gum pink.

Have fun with lipstick, plus it is an easy makeup accessory to apply any day.

7 Colorful Shoes

If you have a closet full of basic colored clothes, adding a colorful shoe to your collection is the perfect way to have a color pop. What is your favorite color? Go find the cutest sandals, heels, or boots in that color and make it your new favorite pair to wear to work or out with friends.

6 A Bright Bag

Similar to the color popping shoes, you can get the same effect with a bag - to really go all out you can match your bag and shoes, but it is by no means necessary. You can totally have a different color shoe and purse, and still, look fabulous in today's fashion culture.

From a mini purse to a cross-body bucket purse, find your favorite style and color.

5 Statement Jacket

Summertime is the time to buy jackets, even though that might seem a little backward, think about it - they are all on sale now and that way you have a jacket ready to go when the weather turns colder.

Add a colorful statement jacket to your wardrobe to have a pop of color and simply stick out from the crowd.

4 Satin Scarf

If you are at a loss for how to add some color to a basic outfit, take out that satin scarf and tie it in your hair, around your purse handle or around your neck. This simple accessory is often overlooked, but it has so many different uses.

This portable and versatile accessory has a use no matter the season if nothing but to add a pop of color to any look.

3 Bucket Hat

Bucket hats have become the head accessory of the summer, especially for keeping your face out of the sun, but they will surely be going strong into winter and fall as well and offer a fun opportunity for a pop of color.

Bucket hats seem to be the hat that most Gen Z folks are identifying with, so get a couple in different colors to match to any outfit or mood.

2 Something Textured

Something with texture is not necessarily a color, but it will add a pop to your outfit no matter what. One thing that is really popular right now is the beaded or pearl shirts, these vivacious textures make the item pop no matter what color it is.

Some fun textures for any season include crochet which is usually super colorful and has a fun pattern and also satin which has shiny elements that reflect light.

1 A Single Colorful Clothing Piece

It might be obvious, but if you want a pop of color without going full-on maximalist or color-block, just add a single colorful clothing piece to be the center of attention.

These days with the monochromatic color trend and lots of mixing of colors there are lots of opportunities to be outspoken with your clothes. But if you are feeling your basics, and just a pop focus on a single colorful top, skirt or pants to carry your outfit through.
