3 ways to wear colour in winter

During colder spells, it can be tempting to swap out your colourful summer pieces for a strictly monochrome winter uniform. But bright and bold hues need not be reserved just for summer: adding them into your winter wardrobe will not only lift your spirits, but will also earn you serious sartorial kudos. Here’s how. 

As demonstrated above, a brighter winter outfit doesn’t have to mean eye-straining colours. If you’re not ready to go with full-throttle bolds, stick to variations on the same palette. Earthy tones such as green, brown and orange are a work-appropriate and wearable place to start. 

If you’re ready to embrace colour but not sure where to start, try weaving in style hints throughout your outfit. The best way? If the majority of your outfit is a dark palette, pick bright jumpers, shirts, scarves or hats to pack a colourful punch. 

One of the best and most-wearable menswear trends of the moment, colour-blocking is perfect for adding an easy-to-wear splash. Choose cold weather-appropriate pieces such as warm accessories, chunky knits and of-the-moment puffer jackets that lend themselves to the chillier months with a much-needed refresh of colour.
