Want to add some colour to your cold weather 'fits? Check out our blog for some handy styling tips for brighten up your winter wardrobe.
Don’t get us wrong, we love a winter neutral. Those earthy tones of camel, coffee and biscuit are hard to beat for seasonal sophistication. But there comes a time when you need more than beige in your life. And that time is now.
If anything, the winter months are exactly when we should all be wearing as much colour as possible. Why keep bright, happy hues for the summer? Vivid greens. Fabulous Fuschia pinks. These are the shades that’ll keep those winter blues at bay.
Perhaps a quick splash of colour is enough for you? Or maybe you’re veering towards a full-on kaleidoscopic wardrobe explosion! Either way, we’re on hand to give you the inspo you need to get started.
Winter brights? Bring ‘em on.
Make a colourful knitted statement
The minimalist way of injecting a pop of colour into your winter wardrobe is by choosing a statement knit. Layer up with a bold colour – like this apricot slouchy cardigan by Armani Exchange or a more relaxed balloon-sleeved V-neck from French Connection. Pair with a simple white tee and a pair of jeans or wide-legged tailored trousers for an understated look.
Experiment with monochromatic colour blocking
Wearing head-to-toe colour isn’t for the faint-hearted, but it could be just what you need to take you into spring. Build your look around a single colour for maximum impact. And what better way to channel that go-bright-or-go-home vibe than with an all-over neon pink? This spaghetti-strapped cami is perfect for hitting the town. While this tie-front knit dress will take you from desk to after-work drinks in a snap. Pair with a cross body bag and some heart-heeled mules and create the ultimate monochrome colour block.
Wear a colourful outer layer
Too much, too soon? Let’s dial things back and make your coat the star of the show. A bold outer layer gives an otherwise muted outfit added character. Plus, if you’re new to colour, you’re only actually wearing it at the start and end of the night. We think this longline cashmere coat by PS Paul Smith makes the perfect statement. The steely shade of blue looks great worn over black for a striking contrast.
Add colour through bold accessories
If you don’t fancy diving head-first in the world of colour, try dipping a toe instead. By investing in a statement bag, you can enjoy the wonder of colour – on your own terms. It’s also the easiest way to get involved in winter brights. This Valentino green crossbody satchel will look perfect paired with white, black or those much-loved neutral tones. Or you might prefer this playful, stripy scarf by Joules to keep you warm and lift your mood.
Inject colour into your downtime
We all know how to elevate our loungewear, because we want to feel our best on off-duty days. But have you thought about moving away from the black, greys, and browns towards something with a bit more zing? Like these Calvin Klein essentials: sweat top and lounge pants in a don’t-mess-with-me lilac. Everyday loungewear with a fashionable edge. What more do you need this winter?
