Just because the weather is bleak, doesn't mean your wardrobe has to be. Fight off the gloom winter and have a little fun with color. Playing against type, these lighter and brighter hues can soften the otherwise abrupt landing into months of freezing temperatures. An unexpected choice like this marigold warms up your look, and the whole room. To avoid the choppy effect of high contrast, keep it tonal. Here the gold shoe, barely-so yellow hose and matching coat maintain the flow from head to toe, which is both a more sophisticated look and also lengthening. Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti F2011 RTW
Again, this lavender ensemble would be a very counter-intuitive color choice for fall, but all the power to you for it. Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti F2011 RTW
Still keeping on the lighter side of things, sometimes the most dramatic color is no color at all. Instead of the usual funereal black, you can achieve the same neutral, monochrome effect but you will stand out from the crowd without looking like you are trying too hard. Beyond the usual suspects of camel, ivory, beige, taupes and metallics, some of my current favorites include 'greige' (grey-beige) and 'peige' (blush pink-beige). These soft, barely-there color inflections are flattering too, since they let you stand out behind the understatement. Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti F2011 RTW
