Do you know how to add some colours to your outfit on a dark winter day? My motto during the winter is the ‘darker the weather – the brighter I’d be’. It very easy and can really liven up your day.
Let’s be honest, it isn’t brain science adding colours to your outfit. And who want to be all dark and grey when it’s already a dark grey day? Unless you do want to be wearing dark and grey outfit – nothing wrong with that – I’d like to add. Well not me – seriously the darker the weather is outside, the brighter my clothes are. I’ll put on a bright pink jumper and bright red leggings and head on out where I’d be standing out from all the crowd. I use to do it – so people could spot me from a crowd – now I do it to get away from all the norm and the darkness that is often associated with winter clothes.
Have you ever notice how winter clothes seem to be a dark dull colour? I find often winter clothes to be devour of colours. Where all the red and pink and purple and blue? I often think this if I’m at a train station and I see people around me in their big black winter coat and big black winter bag with their big black scarf. C’mon people where are all the colours? As you might have guess by now, I don’t do minimalist style. I like to be bold and bright.
So the other day this got me thinking – how easy it is for people to add that pop of colours into their outfit. You don’t need to go OTT either but just enough to brighten up your day and go against all the dark winter norm.
Here are a few easy and simple ways to add colours to your outfit:
- Add a bright woolly scarf and gloves to your outfit.
- While most shoes are neutral colors, it can be fun to switch it up and choose to wear a cute pair of colourful shoes. Put on a pair of purple velvet boots – don’t be shy!
- Wear on a different colour belt – instead of the usual black one.
- Wear pink socks – instead of the white one you always wear.
- Add a badge or a brooch to your winter coat.
- A simple coat of nail polish can really brighten up your outfit. Switch up your nail polish, go for a bight yellow one today.
- Add a big bright chunky jewellery. A bold statement necklace or a funky multicolour bracelet.
- Put in a different colour hair band when styling your hair in the morning.
- There no law in place (*) about adding a shimmery eyeshadow or bold red lipstick to your makeup routine. So go for it and try it out.
- Pick up the colourful bag in the morning instead of the neutral boring one.
(*)Unless there is a law in place and you are not allowed to wear makeup at your workplace. Sorry.
Those are my tips on how to add some colours to your outfit on a dark winter day. Will you be brighten up your outfit today?
