3 Elevated Winter Colour Trends Celebrities Are Wearing Instead of Black This Season
I'm not afraid of an all-black ensemble but recently, without even meaning to, I've found myself dressing like this several times a week.
Chic as black might be though, I'm coming to the point in my winter styling where my wardrobe is desperate for an injection of colour. I don't want to go overboard but I'm eager to add some dimension to my outfits, so I'm keen to integrate some moody shades into my rotation. To get to grips with the colours that are really having a moment right now, my first port of call was the celebrity style set.
With stylists and designers at their beck and call, stylish celebs are the most obvious starting point for new-season inspiration. And of course, they delivered, just like they always do. If you're also in the market to discover some fresh winter colour trends to revive your wardrobe, read on to discover the three wintery shades celebrities are already wearing.
3 Winter Colour Trends Celebrities Are Backing Right Now
1. RILEY KEOUGH IN NAVY
Style Notes: If you're also sick of wearing all-black all the time, then navy is the grown-up alternative that will have you looking just as chic. Styling well with both gold and silver jewellery, this classic winter tone adds depth to an outfit and is easy to wear with so many other colours.
