WAYS TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR WINTER WARDROBE

December 9, 2015

By Hannah Powling

The cold winter months can wipe us from our bold, colourful clothing inspiration we’ve been sporting during the warmer months; and suddenly we find ourselves dressing head-to-toe in black, grey and navy, covering and layering up with warm – but not always very exciting pieces.

Lets be honest, the dreary weather isn’t going to pick our moods up. So adding some excitement back into your wardrobe can brighten up your day. Quite literally.

From bright coats to statement lipstick, adding some colour or going out of your comfort zone can give a real lift to your winter wardrobe and jazz up any outfit.

 

FUN FAUX FUR

Faux fur is always a winter fave. But it doesn’t have to be your usual neutral shades; it comes in all kinds of colours. So why not finish your outfit with a bright, fun fur?

Okay, so you’re also not big on wearing colour but still ant to liven things up a bit? Play with patterns and shapes over colour and go for monochrome bold prints?
