Hello lovelies, how are you?
Our winter has been quite cold from day one, which is quite unusual, especially in the mornings. The chill factor makes things much worse, sometimes I feel that my face is about to freeze and fall off. The puffer jackets are flying off the racks like hot cakes and given that most manufactures stick to the colour black, we all now look like universal soldiers 😄.
As you can see from the previous post, I also wear a black thick jacket and it provides me with warmth and comfort. However, this winter I wanted to break away from the mainstream colours of winter such as your blacks and browns and explore other options such as shades of pale. I started looking for a jacket that would not only be warm and cuddly but also helps me to retain a sartorial look. I found my solution in a Uniqlo store when the jacket in a light tan colour caught my eye.
It became my starting point and I went from there. There is some unspoken rule saying that you only wear your whites in warmer months but I wanted override this misconception. I believe that there is nothing wrong in wearing light colours on a winters day if you follow a few quite simple rules such as:
Avoid being dressed in white colour from head to toe. If, for example, you choose to wear white denims, make sure that the other elements of your outfit are not. Choose a soft neutral palette in tan, cream, nude or off white in soft warm fabrics and cosy styles.
Layering your clothes is a good idea for keeping you warm and mixing up different tones and textures.
We tend to wear less accessories during the cold months, so don't hesitate to go bold on sunglasses, handbags, thick scarves in interesting patterns could always add a pop of colour and interest to your sartorial winter look.
Have a great day, dear friends
Until then,
Anna
