Winter Style: New Winter Colour Palettes and How to Style Them

Dressing head-to-toe in one colour will always remain chic yet there is something sartorially exciting about discovering new hues that can clash together in the right moment.

There is no better time to play with colour than in winter, especially when the weather says otherwise and our motivation to get dressed is at an all-time low. Whether you try these combinations in your lounging looks to start, your working wardrobes or perhaps out with friends, see how it can boost your mood and inspire new looks from your same old wardrobe.

Before you cringe at the thought of a zesty lime green or feel a little intimidated to try red, remember even small pops of these trending colours are all you need to create a whole new palette that ticks all the right boxes.

Also, most of these new pairings work with some neutrals thrown in the mix to ground the entire outfit. So, whether you style these back with a white tee, a black bag or beige pant, give them a go.

City Lights

Concrete offset with a pinch of neon can lift this moody hue and move it into a cool girl vibe. Whether you just add a bag or style a masculine suit with a zesty top, it’s a winter look you’ll want to try over and again.
