This winter it's all about adding a bit of colour to our winter wardrobes. This can be done through simple accessories added to a classic dark winters look! There are some really great vibrant and softer colours out there which can be a good contrast against our usual blacks, greys and navy that we usually all have in our winter looks. The key is to mix and match. I say have a good wide range of matching colours sets of accessories to switch it up day to day. Have a matching coloured a hat with matching gloves. Maybe try a more subtle touch with matching your socks to your bag or holdall and have turned up chino's or jeans to show off your bright pattern socks. There are some strong colours for this season. Teal, burgundy, olive green, light grey and tan are some of this seasons must have colours. Check out some amazing pieces below from some great designers on the high street this season. It's not summer but we all need a bit of TAN! Tan is a colour that is easy to mix or add to any outfit. It's a very neutral colour and works well with all skin tones. Tan would look good with any dark outfit as it adds a pop of brightness to an ensemble without being too bold. We all have tan items in our wardrobe, so this means you have the option of only buying the odd piece to match what you already have or to add to your outfit.

But in the winter it's softer reds that take over and show dominance. A soft burgundy is the perfect way to stand out with colour but in a softer and less garish way. Sometimes it's not all about what we wear but what we make seen that counts. Take for instance the fabulous flask from Paul Smith. It's trendy and will be used on a cold night but it's the perfect accessory that makes a statement with colour. Another example is the Reiss card holder. Its something you use everyday and will be seen by everyone, but adds a pop of colour to your everyday routine.

Teal, apart from being one of my favourite colours is one colour that is a soft shade and easy to mix. It's perfect to mix in with your working wardrobe. Teal works perfectly when mixed with grey. This is because grey is a soft colour. It may not stand out against a harsher colour like black but it still is strong enough against most pallets. A pop of a teal sock (such as these examples from Ted Baker) underneath a grey tailored trouser is a perfect way to inject colour into an outfit. If you wanna be a bit braver try mixing teal with your navy suit. This can be done with a silk scarf such as the Ted Baker one below.
