ohmymimi · 03/10/2014 18:45

Summer - navy and white, with mainly tan or red accents (shoes, bags, scarves).
Winter - black, charcoal grey and cream, with burnt orange, forest green or deep pink accents (cardis., sweaters, gloves and scarves).
After many years of wardrobe excess, I now stick to a limited palette for jeans, trousers, tees and tops, and the occasional dress (I don't wear skirts), as it makes dressing much simpler when everything is interchangeable (makes holiday packing less stressful, too). Plus, it is easy to change the accent colours for variety.

GeorginaWorsley · 03/10/2014 19:41

Navy
grey
white
slate
charcoal
cream
taupe

Occasionally teal/mallard
have some scarves with burnt orange in for autumn, plus others in array of blues/greys/animal print.

clippityclop · 03/10/2014 20:23

Greens, teal and blues here too. I especially love really forest dark green (had my colours done once and was told it was my best) There's lots in the shops this year so I've bought a couple of new tops and jumpers, White Stuff.

Valsoldknickers · 03/10/2014 20:57

I love grey, green, teal, purple and black and navy.

Yellow, mustard and beige make me look ill!

ThisBitchIsResting · 03/10/2014 21:05

Winter -

Navy, black, wine

Summer -

Taupe, pink, white, tomato

I like winter clothes much more, cosy woolly dresses, dark skinnies, boots and lovely coats and scarves. But I definitely look better in the summer in light denim or taupe, with splashes of pink and tomato, or white floaty tops. I look healthier. So maybe I should try to wear brighter colours in winter. Hmm.

I will search for a pink or tomato coloured woolly jumper I think.

samesizetoes · 03/10/2014 21:08

All of my clothes are either black, white, navy, grey or denim.

Longdistance · 03/10/2014 21:19

Black, navy and burgundy mainly.

I'm olive skinned, and don't feel comfortable wearing any bright colours.

HowsTheSerenity · 03/10/2014 21:25

Green, blue, white
It's the red hair and skin. I'd lve to wear yellow and peach.

BreakOutTheKaraoke · 03/10/2014 21:26

Tons of teal here too. I'm blonde and pink toned, and it is the colour that suits by complexion the most by far. Fuschia pink is good, but corals and dusty pinks make me look so red in the face!

I also wear navy and white stripes a lot. I know that's technically two colours, but I own so many of them I may as well class them as their own colour way.

SofaCanary · 03/10/2014 21:31

Teal, turquoise, coral, bright red, khaki, camel, ivory with a hell of a lot of black and grey in Winter.

Think I'm a warm spring.
