How to Elevate Your Winter Wardrobe

Once you have built your winter wardrobe with essentials in basic colours, you might be interested in elevating it or adding even more variety. One way to do this is by introducing patterns and colours.

The Patterned Coat Statement

Once you own a winter coat in a basic colour, it’s time to add some variety to your rotation. Try a patterned coat, such as a grey-black herringbone, or go for warmer tones like brown or tan. For those who want to make a statement, coats with houndstooth or tartan patterns might be a more interesting choice.

Staying Warm with Layered Vests

On very cold days, you can add an extra layer with a wool or down-filled vest. To make it more practical and compatible with most of your wardrobe, choose natural colors like navy, olive, brown, or tan.

Adding a Pop of Color with Knitwear

If you’re worried that a patterned coat is too loud, adding a pop of colour with knitwear is a great alternative. Choose brighter colours like red, orange, yellow or green.

Corduroy and Wool for more Texture

If you want more variety in your trouser rotation, you can add a pair in corduroy or wool. Colours like tan, green, or grey are perfect for everyday wear or more formal occasions.

Show personality with printed scarf

I understand that some of you want to keep your wardrobe toned down and simple with natural colors. But still, you can still show some charisma or add a pop of color with a patterned or printed scarf.
