Black white and grey my autumn winter

9 replies

Soooooo I decluttered all the "not quite right a bit tired and wtaf was I thinking" stuff from my clothing emporium of autumn winter wear.

I have trousers in black and various shades of grey
Knee length skirts as above
Long grey and black skirts
Black long dresses
White shirts
One pink and one blue shirt
A variety of cashmere jumpers in blacks, greys, plus one blue and one pink
Blue and black jeans blue and black cotton jumpers one pink.

Anyone spotting a trend here?

It is boring.

So what can I do to inject some colour into my winter wear? I am conservative in style due to work needs. I don't really do trends. Blues, jades, pinks and burgundy suits me. Got to be natural fibres. Don't do patterns. Willing to spend if it's nice material fit design.

Thank you all lovely people.

I wear virtually all black and grey, with a bit of white. I throw in a bit of leopard print (eg shoes, scarves), a bit of blue denim and the occasional shot of bright pink (eg scarf, shirt).

Maybe a burgundy silk or cotton shirt? Or a burgundy cord mini skirt, for wearing with boots?

Oh good so it's not just me!

Was thinking a pair of burgundy boots? Guess what boots are black and brown
Will look for shirts

M&S have some beautiful (but v high) heeled burgundy ankle boots.

Mustard makes me look as if the cat vommitted me up
Navy I wear this in summer so why not winter?
Thought I might try cobalt blue

Off to see M&S boots

A dash of purple is lovely with grey. So is mauve. I love them both with navy too.

A touch of snakeskin or leopard print.

Burgundy and cobalt is nice. Also burgundy, navy and turquoise, like this here
An easy winter fix would be a brighter coloured coat, would be surprisingly versatile over s very neutral wardrobe.
