Brights colors were very hit-or-miss for me. I liked a good deal of the pieces from Salvatore Ferragamo's show, but others not so much. Jil Sander's reminded me of hospital scrubs. haha

Quite frankly, I'm not into this trend. Mostly because I strongly dislike bright colours. I feel like it makes anyone look like a fool very easily

I only like bright colors in pieces or on certain occasions. It's very easy to look obnoxious if you wear them in day-to-day life. But I think it can look very good. For example, I like the pants in the last two Ferragamo pictures I posted, but I'd wear them with a white Oxford, Tee or Polo and a more somber looking sweater or blazer or something. I think if you're going to wear bright clothes, you need to balance it. Unless you're going somewhere where it's considered appropriate (some summer parties, etc.)

I really like this trend but I agree with KINGofVERSAILLES, the trend needs to be have a balance off the runway. I love how Salvatore Ferragamo and Gucci pulled it off.

I agree with you on Gucci. I was just looking at the photos from the show this morning and thought it was the best use of the bright colors yet (though I still really like SF). These suits are wonderful, and I think they work because although the colors are fresh and bright, they're also a bit softer looking than others seen on the runway.

Paul Smith also had some softer brights
