Want to shine in your chemo hat or scarf without spending hours in front of the mirror? You can—and thank goodness. During chemo you don’t always feel like investing a lot of time or energy in your looks. And yet, you still want to look good. Because the right colors don’t just make you look better—they make you feel stronger. That’s why we’re sharing three simple styling tricks to give your outfit a fashionable boost with minimal effort.

Tip 1: A statement necklace

Wearing a tone-on-tone look with a chemo hat or scarf and a blouse or top in matching shades? Finish your outfit with a bold necklace. Try a contrasting color—or keep it sleek in silver or gold. Plenty of choice this season, since jewelry trends are going in every direction. Bonus: a long necklace elongates your silhouette and makes your upper body look slimmer. Feeling uncomfortable with a low neckline after breast surgery? Wear a long, softly draping chain over a high-neck blouse or shirt. It still gives the impression of an elegant décolleté.

Tip 2: Solid hat + blouse with trendy print

Not sure how to make a simple, plain chemo hat look more fashionable? Experiment with a colorful top. Prints are everywhere this season—in all colors and styles, often in cheerful, graphic designs with bold color combinations. Example: the coral chemo hat in the photo above, paired with a patterned blouse. The little pink accents in the print tie the look together. That’s all it takes to turn it into a true fashion statement. Another plus: you can wear the same print with a light blue hat, or even a dark blue one, for a totally different vibe.

Tip 3: Multicolored scarf + plain blouse

Here’s a winning trick to show that even if you’ve lost your hair, you haven’t lost your sense of style: a multicolored, pre-shaped chemo scarf. The rest of your outfit can stay simple—this kind of cheerful headwear instantly boosts your look and your mood. Keep the rest of your styling understated: no flashy jewelry, no fussy tops.

Would you normally grab a white blouse? During chemo, try light blue instead, like the soft denim shirt in our photo. Light blue instantly gives your face a healthy glow, brightening your complexion much more than plain white.
