When the temperatures drop and winter sets in, it’s easy to fall into a routine of reaching for the same black coat and grey scarf. But winter accessories are a great way to express your personal style — and if you know your Colour Season, they’re an effortless way to brighten your look and elevate your wardrobe.
Here’s how to choose winter accessories that not only keep you warm but also harmonize beautifully with your natural colouring:
1. Winter Accessories for Spring Seasons (Light, True, and Bright Spring)
Spring palettes are all about warmth, brightness, and lightness. Think fresh blossoms and golden sunshine.
- Best materials: Lightweight wools, cashmere, or merino — soft and bouncy fabrics suit your airy energy.
- Accessory ideas: Opt for camel or golden beige hats, peachy-pink or aqua scarves, and coral or turquoise gloves. Avoid heavy, dark colors that can weigh you down.
- Try this combo: A soft peach beanie, turquoise scarf, and a tan leather crossbody bag for a cheerful pop in grey winter light.
2. Winter Accessories for Summer Seasons (Light, True, and Soft Summer)
Summer palettes are cool, muted, and elegant. Think misty mornings and blooming hydrangeas.
- Best materials: Soft textures like brushed wool, boucle, or mohair — subtle and refined.
- Accessory ideas: Dusty rose scarves, soft blue or lavender beanies, and silvery-grey gloves complement your understated colouring.
- Try this combo: A heather-grey beret, pale periwinkle scarf, and a cool taupe tote — a gentle, layered look.
3. Winter Accessories for Autumn Seasons (Soft, True, and Deep Autumn)
Autumn palettes are rich, earthy, and warm. Picture golden leaves and cozy firesides.
- Best materials: Chunky knits, felted wool, and suede — textures with depth and structure.
- Accessory ideas: Rust, olive, mustard, and deep teal work beautifully. Avoid icy tones that feel too cool.
- Try this combo: A chunky rust-colored scarf, olive wool hat, and a chestnut leather satchel — cozy and confident.
4. Winter Accessories for Winter Seasons (Cool, True, and Bright Winter)
Winter palettes are bold, high-contrast, and icy-cool. Think snow-covered forests and shimmering lights.
- Best materials: Sleek wool, faux fur, or structured knits — sharp and striking.
- Accessory ideas: Go for jewel tones like royal blue, magenta, emerald, or icy pastels like icy pink and mint. Black and white contrast also works well.
- Try this combo: A black beanie, bright fuchsia scarf, and a white faux fur collar for a bold, modern look.
Final Tip: Mix Function with Flair
Your Colour Season isn’t just about looking good — it’s about feeling like your best self. When your accessories echo your natural colouring, they enhance your glow and bring harmony to your outfit, even in the greyest months.
