The cold weather is always a time when the light colors leave most people's closets and they start wearing only dark colors. I think, I am similar and tend to wear dark shades more often, but I do love light colors in my accessories. Often I will combine also one brighter color with dark neutrals and black, like in this look. My blush pink leather jacket is such a great staple for autumn as it brings color to almost any outfit, light or dark and helps me transition to the darker season. I also added some rouge and a nice lipstick to not look like a ghost with all those dark pieces of clothing as I am pretty fair skinned and have lost all my summer tan (never really had a lot to begin with). My last tip and my favourite of Autumn anyways - wearing tights, or leggins in the same color as your shoes to optically elongate your legs. Autumn and Spring are the seasons where I feel most comfortable and wear loads of dresses and skirts. I do not like my knees, but got a couple of really pretty dresses and skirts that are just too short to hit my knees (fate of a tall person).
My tips for a fresh Autumn look
- wear a piece in a bright color to bring some fun into those darker looks
- light colored accessories such as scarves, hats, socks, overknees or bags
- bright lipstick and a little more rouge to not look like a ghost
- tights in the same color as your shoes to elongate the legs
