Deep Winter

Deep Winter outfits

Use these three-color recipes as a starting point for clothes you already own. The shapes and materials are up to you.

Blackened berry, deep blue and cool emerald make substantial anchors. A pale cool detail can add definition without turning the whole outfit pastel.

Three color recipes

Everyday layers

Cool Grey 4 for trousers or a skirt, Silver for a top, and French Blue in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A workday combination

Slate Grey 2 for trousers or a skirt, Cool Grey 3 for a top, and Dark Mauve in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A little more color

Dark 2 for trousers or a skirt, Gunmetal for a top, and Grape Purple 2 in a scarf, bag or smaller layer.

A practical rule

Choose the neutral for the largest garment, an accent for the smaller garment, and one detail. Repeat a color to tie the outfit together.

For this palette, begin with moderate contrast and adjust the size of the accent.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
