Winter in color: how to add bright colors to your winter closet

Who said that winter should be boring and gray? Even in the cold season you can look bright and stylish! VOVK will reveal the secrets of how to add colors to your winter closet and create unforgettable images.

Why should you add colors in winter?

Of course, the classic black, white and gray colors are always relevant. But on cold gray days, you want more colors. In addition, color has the following advantages:

  • improves mood, because bright colors stimulate the production of serotonin — the hormone of happiness;
  • adds individuality, as it allows you to stand out from the crowd and create your own unique style;
  • refreshes the image.

It is only important to choose the right shades.

What colors to choose?

Winter palette is not limited only to dark shades. It is worth bravely experimenting also with:

  • warm shades: burgundy, mustard, orange, terracotta, as they will create a cozy and warm image;
  • cool shades: blue, violet, blue to add freshness and originality;
  • pastel shades: pink, blue, yellow to create a delicate and romantic bow.

Having such a basis, it is necessary to proceed to the peculiarities of their combination.

How to combine colors?

The simplest way to combine colors is monochrome, assuming one accent color and a refined game with its shades.

If you want to maximize attention, try contrasting combinations. To do this, combine a bright color with neutral black, white or gray.

To create combinations that are as pleasing to the eye as possible, choose an analog combination. Simply combine colors that are next to each other in the color wheel (for example, yellow and orange).

Complimentary combinations involve combining colors that are opposite each other in the color wheel (e.g., red and green). To maintain balance, one color should be as bright as possible, and the other should only complement it.

Ideas for bright winter looks

Outerwear plays an important role in winter bows, so a bright coat or down jacket will be the main accent of your look. In the winter closet will always find a place for knitted things —a sweater, scarf or hat. And if you choose them in bright colors, it will be possible not only to make the image warmer, but to add to it interesting bright details. To add brightness to the image “point by point”, choose accessories in eye-catching colors. A bag, gloves, hat, scarf — a great way to add those very touches. And even brightly colored underwear can improve your mood on winter days.

 

It is also important not to overload the image with a lot of bright colors. One or two accents will be enough. In the role of a bright element can also act as bracelets, necklaces or earrings. And it is better to emphasize something one — either bright clothes or makeup.

The main thing — do not be afraid to experiment! And you will definitely manage to create your own unique style and enjoy winter in bright colors.
