True WinterLookbook

More than black and two colors

Keep the black you love. Your True Winter palette shows what goes with it.

60 leads, 30 supports, 10 stays small.

Three outfits side by side on a plain warm off-white wall, as if worn by no one, each led by one color of the trio: Sapphire on the left, Lilac in the middle and Cool taupe on the right.

What to wear instead of black, for every season

Why, and how solid

Wear pure white, navy or black near your face, with one strong cool color. Keep the gap between pieces wide.

Why: Your coloring is cool and high in contrast, so wide steps between pieces match it. Muted earth tones tend to sit far from it.

How to read the cards

The color on each card is the palette color a piece sits closest to, not the exact color of the item. A picture shows that color on a plain, unbranded piece and not the product. Save picks with Add to my list, then open them all in one Amazon cart.
