Master the art of winter dressing with Changing Seasons

Master the art of winter layering with Changing Seasons… and find the colours that compliment you the best.

As the temperature drops and layers become a daily essential, winter is the perfect season to play with style, texture and colour. While we often focus on staying warm (hello, cosy knits), the real magic happens when you choose colours that complement your skin tone and features.

Not sure where to start? Let’s break it down.

Layering 101: Function meets fashion

Start with the basics:

Base Layer: Lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo. This is your second skin… comfortable and close fitting.

Middle Layer: Add warmth and texture with a knit, jumper, or fleece. Think chunky cable knits or ribbed wool for a polished look.

Outer Layer: Your statement piece. Longline coats, puffer jackets, or tailored trenches bring warmth and style.

Accessories: Scarves, beanies, boots, bags… not just practical, but the finishing touch that makes an outfit feel complete.

So now the important part… What colours suit your skin tone?

We all have undertones… cool, warm, or neutral. Here’s how to choose colours that make you glow:

Cool Undertones

FOCUS ON: Jewel tones and icy shades: emerald, sapphire, ruby, silver, cool grey & crisp white

Other winners: true black, navy, lavender, soft blush

What to avoid? Earthy or golden tones

Warm Undertones

FOCUS ON: Earth tones and neutrals: camel, rust, mustard, terracotta, corals, golden yellows, warm greens, cream, beige & chocolate brown

What to avoid? icy blues, cool greys, stark white

Neutral Undertones

Best of both worlds: dusty pink, muted navy, olive, taupe

Universally flattering: soft greys, blush, gentle neutrals

Avoid: neon brights, overly saturated tones

But wait, there is more to it… Hair colour matters too

BLONDES

Cool tones: icy greys, baby blue, navy

Warm tones: camel, peach, blush, honey

BRUNETTES

Cool: jewel tones, monochromes

Warm: burgundy, forest green, mustard, deep reds

RED HEADS

Earthy warmth: rust, olive, creamy neutrals

Avoid neons or overly bold brights

GREYS AND SILVERS

Elegant matches: charcoal, soft mauve, blush, navy
