When putting together an everyday winter
outfit, practical and comfortable doesn’t have to translate to boring and dull.
With the help of just a few colourful touches, your winter basics can be
elevated to vivacious new heights. Winter dressing tends to err on the dark and
dreary side, so be adventurous and lift your mood by incorporating some colour
into your wardrobe.
The asymmetrical hem and gathered sleeves
of this ASOS cape makes it stand out in a sea of dark winter jackets. Its neutral
beige colour instantly uplifts the outfits colour palette and creates an ideal backdrop
for colourful items.
The vibrant eggplant fur scarf is a fun
statement piece that adds an unfussy element of casual-luxe to this relaxed
look. Colorful fur is de rigueur this
season, with designers from Diane Von Furstenburg to Jean Paul Gaultier all partaking
in the trend. The scarf is also a fabulous day-to-night accessory; the tips of
the fur are lighter than the base, making it catch the light and look brighter
during the day and appear darker and more muted at night.
The waxed maroon trousers are a stylish
alternative to standard black. They add an unexpected pop of color that co-ordinates
well with the beige cape and eggshell top, and their skinny cut also balances
the cape’s roomy silhouette.
When it comes to accessories, utilize your
creativity and maximise the style payoff of items you already own; the
wraparound bracelet in this look was created with the help of a waist belt! Flat
black ankle boots add a stylishly masculine touch to this ensemble and are comfortably
casual enough to run around all day in.
