12 Bright-Colored OOTDs of Gabbi Garcia That Are Flattering for Morenas

Morenas grow up being told not to wear certain things to make their complexion look "better" (that is, lighter) as if brown skin is something to correct. One of the many "don’ts" on the proverbial list: wearing bright colors. Many say that they don’t flatter morena skin, but thankfully, we’re on a joyful journey of unlearning such things. 

We’re inspired by morenas who kiss the no-brights rule “goodbye,” including today’s subject, Gabbi Garcia, who we’ve picked out because of her fearless penchant for wearing vibrant hues. Ahead, you’ll see 12 outfits where the actress wears—scratch that, rocks—bright hues.  

12 Bright-Colored Outfits to Copy from Gabbi Garcia

1. We’re starting off strong with a red-hot look: a pair of chili-pepper-colored coordinates crafted in tropics-friendly linen. We love how Gabbi styles it with a white bodysuit underneath, and can envision this with any classic one-piece swimsuit too. 

2. Give the office-friendly shirtdress the nighttime treatment by going three spectrums brighter and ten inches shorter. Gabbi shows us how it’s done with her vibrant red-orange dress which she pairs with transparent heels for a spicy date night look. 

3. Orange is a surprisingly easy color to pull off especially when done in a fun sundress. Just take a look at Gabbi’s outfit here, which features a gingham-printed dress with a tiered skirt and puffed sleeves. It gives off country charm in all the best ways. 

4. If you want to dress “fresh” but white’s not quite you, yellow is the next best thing. Take a look at Gabbi’s outfit, which features a bright yellow top and shorts coordinates and white pumps that feel bright, zingy, and super summery.  

5. A yellow sundress is a stunner on its own, but Gabbi adds her personal flare with an electric blue pair of sandals. Let this be your inspiration to style your outfits with a little more gumption, even if it means just a vibrant pair of shoes. 

6. A bright-colored blazer is a standout piece in itself, so you don’t need to do much to style it well. Gabbi wears her highlighter-yellow one atop a neutral look, and you can do the same with a white tee, LBD, or virtually any other basic item in your wardrobe. 

7. Lime green is arguably the most “tame” in Gabbi’s spectrum of color choices—it manages to walk the line between citrine vibrance and toned-down chicness. If you’re a little reluctant to commit to brights, this can be your best bet (and possible gateway drug). 

8. For now, it seems like a silken dress is the “it” piece to have in your wardrobe. When it’s done in a fun color like Gabbi’s pink frock, it can transform from day to night with a simple change in footwear and makeup. 

9. Monochromatic dressing doesn’t only mean neutrals. You can apply the same idea of single-tone dressing to bright colors, like say, two shades of pink. Such is the case for Gabbi’s tennis look, which is playful in its choice of color but beautiful put-together in its range. 

10. In case it isn’t obvious, Gabbi loves wearing pink—every shade of it! We’re obsessed with this fuschia mini dress, which is equal parts #Barbiecore and Ariana Grande-esque. We love the commitment to the 2000s pop star style with the chunky sky-high platform heels, too.

11. We’re taking cues from how Gabbi styles her ‘70s-inspired coordinates. First, we’re wearing a bralette that picks up from one of the colors on the pattern, and next, we’re opting for transparent heels that don’t take away attention from the main outfit. 

12  Wear the rainbow in a dress that has a playful patchwork of colors and patterns —as bold of an outfit choice as this is, it’s surprisingly easy to style. It holds its own, so all you need are some dainty accessories and your best "clean girl" makeup look.
