Dropping temperatures mean warmer clothes–heavy sweaters, parkas, cords and boots–but a lot of these styles tend to be neutral or dark colors. Â The winter season is drab enough, why dress in boring and plain clothing? Brighten up your winter wardrobe with colorful clothing and bold accessories! Pair your black, gray, or navy coat with a floral scarf. Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Madewell sell printed scarves in countless color combinations. Â Even Target has a wide selection of scarves, and these options are a lot less expensive than what you’d find at a high-end department store. Â When it gets to be December and January, you can also add color by wearing bright mittens or gloves and a hat.

A lot of labels have introduced brightly colored corduroys in their fall and winter lines in the past few years. Â There’s no need to stick with black, gray, or dark purple all the time when there are so many more options! Â J.Crew, GAP, and Old Navy all have great color selections depending on how much money you’d like to spend. Â J.Crew also offers their cords in a few different cuts, so it’s easy to find a pair that you like, whether you’d prefer a skinny or a boot-cut leg, for example.

Finally, why not combat the winter blues with a jewel-toned or pastel sweater? In general, Lilly Pulitzer is a great option because their clothing is cheery and bright regardless of the season. Â If you choose a patterned top or sweater, be sure to keep your pants and jewelry simple so your look isn’t overwhelming. Â A pair of colorful rhinestone stud earrings, like those available at C.Wonder stores and the brand’s website also go well with winter scarves and sweaters. Â Luckily, it’s not hard to have a vibrant winter wardrobe if you incorporate a bit of color into each outfit!
