3 Elevated Winter Colour Trends Celebrities Are Wearing Instead of Black This Season
I'm not afraid of an all-black ensemble but recently, without even meaning to, I've found myself dressing like this several times a week.
Chic as black might be though, I'm coming to the point in my winter styling where my wardrobe is desperate for an injection of colour. I don't want to go overboard but I'm eager to add some dimension to my outfits, so I'm keen to integrate some moody shades into my rotation. To get to grips with the colours that are really having a moment right now, my first port of call was the celebrity style set.
With stylists and designers at their beck and call, stylish celebs are the most obvious starting point for new-season inspiration. And of course, they delivered, just like they always do. If you're also in the market to discover some fresh winter colour trends to revive your wardrobe, read on to discover the three wintery shades celebrities are already wearing.
3 Winter Colour Trends Celebrities Are Backing Right Now
1. RILEY KEOUGH IN NAVY
Style Notes: If you're also sick of wearing all-black all the time, then navy is the grown-up alternative that will have you looking just as chic. Styling well with both gold and silver jewellery, this classic winter tone adds depth to an outfit and is easy to wear with so many other colours.

Wear this open over a white tee or buttoned-up on its own.
Style with tights and knee-high boots for a cosy winter look.
In my opinion, this is the perfect party-season bag.
2. YARA SHAHIDI IN PLUM
Style Notes: Plum is the underrated winter shade that celebrities can't resist. A fresher alternative to the rich burgundy we're seeing everywhere this season, this deeper, purple-toned hue gives a wintery edge whilst remaining easy to style.

Fashion people can't get enough of DeMellier's chic bags.
3. KAIA GERBER IN RED
Style Notes: Red will always be one of my favourite winter shades, and model Kaia Gerber has just inspired me to style an entirely rouge 'fit. Wearing her cute red cardigan with a pair of swishy trousers, Gerber's latest look is about to be heavily replicated in my winter rotation.

Style with heels or dress these down with ballet flats.
This classic knit looks much more expensive than it actually is.
