When we move into the depths of winter there are a few rituals I like to incorporate into my daily rotation to make the darkest month feel a little brighter. In terms of routine, this often looks like a candle-lit dinner or a sun-rise walk, if we’re talking fashion, you’ll find me swapping out my cotton clothing for luxurious cashmeres, rich velvets and supple silks all season, as these fabrics not only feel amazing on the skin, but help me to feel like the best version of myself when it might not be as easy.
When shopping for clothing that I can count on during winter, I’m not only looking out for hard-working fabrics, but also a colour pallet that works well with the new-season mood. Whilst I was fond of the vibrant red colour trend during peak summer time, now that we’ve moved into mid-January, I’m finding myself more drawn to its chicer older sister—deep burgundy hues. Adored by the fashion set for its outfit-elevating capabilities, the rich-looking shade is on the rise this winter, and the fashion set are picking it up in the form of top-handle bags, shiny patent shoes and sleek leather goods everywhere I look.
