True Winter

True Winter clothing

Build an outfit around two usable neutrals and one accent, then vary texture instead of adding more color.

Blue-red, sapphire and clear emerald make a crisp, cool statement. Distinct light-and-dark combinations are often easier than blending many dusty middle tones.

Colors to begin with

Choose cool, medium-deep, clear tones.

A practical rule

Try the color nearest your face first. Coats, knitwear and shirt collars affect the visual impression more than shoes.

For this clearer palette, let a distinct accent stand beside a simple neutral.

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.
