Colors to wear this season contrast the dull, gloomy pallet of winter. Light colors with pops of dramatic fabric is the way to stay warm and fashionable this season.
According to the fashion week runways, maroons and deep reds are the must-have pieces.
Jessica Helson, owner of Boulder boutique Chelsea, says the most popular shades this season are wine and raisin.
“We are seeing those colors as a pop of color in the outfit, against lots of neutrals,” she says. “Adding a bright scarf, piece of statement jewelry or a handbag can really enhance outfits this winter.”
Maya Klembort, sales associate for Boulder store Weekends, says the colors this winter were not
commonly seen in past seasons.
“We’re seeing a lot of light and neutral colors along with bright florals and digitized prints,” she says.
Digitized prints are constructed on a computer in order to look less organic.
Contrasted with these bright, bold colors and prints, outerwear trends are neutral this season.
“Simple silhouette coats and jackets in camel, black, brown or cream compliment the burst of color on other apparel,” Klembort says.
A simple, warm and fun way to polish a winter
outfit is by adding a scarf. They work outside with a bundled coat and inside with a comfortable sweater.
“Scarves provide instant sophistication to any
outfit,” Helson says.
Classic boots are also staples for completing the
ideal winter look.
“Tall boots and ankle boots are the lengths to wear,” Klembort says. “Look for an ankle boot with a thick heel and not a stiletto.”
Regardless of your style or budget, a few bright pieces of red shades are ideal for adding warmth and life to your winter wardrobe this season.
