What are Winter Colors?
Ruby: Burgundy
Burgundy, a dark red color, reminds us of rubies and romance! It’s so easy to fall in love with this color, especially during the winter months. Burgundy adds a bold yet feminine touch to any look! If you want to create dreamy and romantic outfits this winter, try combining burgundy shades with blush pinks, mauve purples, and deep wine colors.

Sapphire: Navy
Navy blue is a classic winter color! Much like sapphires themselves, navy clothing is timeless and versatile. Navy is always a popular neutral on the runway during fall and winter, and we can see why! It's so easy to add depth and color to any outfit with just a few navy blue staple pieces. Try styling a dark navy blue sweater with light wash jeans and sneakers for a cool everyday outfit!
Topaz: Mustard
Whether you call it topaz, golden-yellow, or mustard, this dark yellow color is always in style! Pair your favorite mustard yellow pieces from fall with the darker neutral shades that get so popular in the wintertime. The warm hue of mustard yellow adds the perfect touch to any winter wardrobe. Try styling your favorite mustard yellow sweater with gray skinny jeans and ankle boots!
Emerald: Forest Green
Forest green is our favorite winter color! It evokes imagery of emeralds and evergreens, and it can take any outfit from basic to breathtaking. Whether you're looking for some staple pieces to add to your wardrobe or hoping to find the perfect party dresses, we recommend choosing forest green as your signature shade this season!
Amethyst: Purple
Purple is the perfect color for winter! Deep wine and plum shades have been so trendy this season, and many designers paired these darker shades with brighter lilac and amethyst colors on the runway. Purple is a cooler tone color that can still add warmth and femininity to any outfit. One of our favorite things about purple is that it pairs beautifully with other jewel tone colors!
Turquoise: Teal
Teal was one of the most popular colors on the fashion runway this season, and we think every girl needs this shade in her winter wardrobe! Teal is a cool and sophisticated color with shades ranging from light turquoise blues to deep teal greens. Try replacing your basic charcoal gray sweater with a dark teal sweater this winter for a fresh look!
