How to wear colour in winter (bring on the cashmere)

— by Alyson Walsh

Do you have a personal colour scheme? I’m definitely at home in chic-not-shouty blues and khaki greens; often with a backdrop of stormy charcoal. These are the colours of the British seaside, and I wonder if hailing from Blackpool is the reason for the attraction? Hours of staring at my Instagram feed have confirmed my affinity for coastal shades – though obviously, I like to see this colour scheme in the real world, too. My palette will be neutral to the end, but having said that, whenever I whoop things up and wear a blue that’s not navy, or a red or a pink, I feel an instant buzz. The cobalt blue cashmere cardigan adds a little zing to indigo. And with pink, it has to be exactly the right shade, not too saccharine and never-ever insipid pastel. This raspberry M&S cashmere sweater is perfect with white jeans and my velvet ankle boots, right now – though maybe not at the British seaside in winter…
