Out and About in Colour

This week, we think the best way to show you how to wear colour in winter is to show you how everyone else is wowing in colour this winter!

We’ve been trawling street-wear snaps from Hong Kong, Florence, Paris, London, New York and back to bring you the very best examples and tips of how to let your fashion personality shine through the layers and layers of thermals this January.

It’s time to crawl out from your post-holiday stupor and the best way to dust off the cobwebs from your old and stuffy winter wear is to add a splash of colour when its least expected. 

This is precisely what’s showcased below: wear a bright red tunic dress over tights and boots to bring a dark coat into the fashion limelight.

Fashionista

Resurrect your paisley dresses from autumn by layering them with tights and a cardigan. Throw on those faithful winter boots and an open faux fur coat to complete this snuggly style.

Add a colourful beanie hat to keep out the draft and liven up your look. Choose a colour that really makes your eyes pop – electric blue or jade for blue/green eyes or a deep purple to offset dark brown.

Oversized jumpers work just as well as dresses as a complete outfit if paired with leggings and ankle boots. You can go crazy with colour if you use your jumper as the statement piece. Don’t forget, colours can also correlate to your mood so if you’re feeling romantic, purples and softer hues are good. Brighter shades work if daring and confident is your thing.

Subtle pops of colour are what it’s all about from men this winter. Whether you’re dressing casual or for work, use accessories to brighten your look and showcase your fashion identity.

Pitti Uomo

A red neckerchief peeping through a navy suit jacket or coat oozes suave sophistication but also makes you stand out from the crowd.

For a perfectly put together layered look, pair a plaid or checked shirt with a suede blazer and add a faux fur lined trench on top. Finish with a coloured beanie, tan leather satchel and gold watch and you’ve got it made. Scarves, gloves and shoes are all old faithfuls when it comes to accessorising and can make all the difference.
