Winter palette wardrobe essentials

The Winter palette is cool, clear, bold and high contrast, to match your own cool skintone and high contrast colouring. The pieces for your spring/summer update are a mix of these cool, clear and vibrant tones, as well as one or two new takes on neutrals, to give you an outfit options with the tonal feel you need without sacrificing the joy of colour!

Before you dive in, here are some top tips to ensure that you get the most from your spring/summer wardrobe update:

1. Use the pieces below as a guide, not an absolute set of rules. If you know that a different neckline, or print, would make for a better option, don’t be afraid to switch pieces around.

2. Consider your own personal style and lifestyle, along with your colour palette. Think about the pieces you’ll actually get use from on a regular basis, as well as those you’re immediately drawn to.

3. Consider pushing your usual colour comfort zone a little (without leaving your seasonal palette behind!) - you might know that you look amazing in Winter’s pinks, blues and reds, but adding a little acid yellow or emerald green might be the thing that gives your wardrobe the zing it was missing, and adds a new dimension to your outfits. Even when we know our colours, it’s easy to find a comfort zone and stick with it, then wonder why our outfits all feel a bit ‘samey’ and safe.

4. Look for the pieces that will tie disparate sections of your wardrobe together. Those wide leg trousers you love but never wear? Maybe now’s the time to add a couple of neat fitting tops and sweaters that will bring them to life. Or maybe it’s a casual skirt for sunny weekends that will give your pretty tops a new lease of life?

5. Don’t forget to add your own unique style to whichever pieces you choose - Kettlewell pieces are designed to be styled in numerous different ways, to flatter your unique combination of colouring, body architecture, personal style, lifestyle and personal preferences! It’s by mixing these pieces in with your wardrobe that you’ll really see the magic happen.

Style notes: Inject some fresher shades this spring/summer! Rather than opting for deeper Winter tones like Navy or Charcoal, turn to royal and sapphire blues, and Pink Ice, as your new neutrals, and add some sparkle with unexpected Winter shades like Acid and Lemon Yellow alongside bold pinks.
