Cool colors for Autumn/Fall

You don't need to stick to neutrals for a big purchase. One of the biggest joys for many women with Cool coloring is to enjoy a splash of rich color and wait for the compliments. 

Copy our favorite Princess. High contrast is stunning on Cool skins, and the Princess of Wales has teamed all the coats here with black which makes for easy accessoring and gives maximum contrast. She needs to be seen of course! However, these would all look equally good with navy or charcoal gray. 

Note how she chooses a matching fuchsia turtle neck to look more casual - it doesn't have to match exactly, a plain or a print that includes the tones would be equally attractive.

What a fabulous photo of one of our favorite actresses! Reese Witherspoon is petite and keeps her coat a bit shorter so it doesn't overwhelm.

You don't need to be limited to plain colors as I show here. If you enjoy a print, then take a look at Joe Brown for some stunning and yet warm and comfortable long sleeved dresses.

Pick out your favorite colors to tone. It might just be a belt or a bag but  boots/shoes are often available in the most brilliant shades. Or copy Reese Witherspoon's look with a Barbie pink coat. 

She looks amazing in this color and so do YOU!! So enjoy it! 

Tartan wool cloth originates from the clans of Scotland, but it's become a fashion must-have for the Autumn and Winter seasons. 

Although if you're Scottish you wear the correct tartan for your clan/family, most of us have no such limitations and can choose according to taste and color direction. There are dozens of different colors, both Warm and Cool, but I'm honing in on tartans or plaids in Cool colors.  

It's a wonderful base to use for co-ordination as most tartans include several colors. You can pick out any color for a blouse or warm jumper then perhaps another for your coat. 

You can even create a monochromatic look where the shades don't have to match exactly - see second left below. 

Perhaps you're looking for warmth and comfort from soft and cosy knitwear. 

As with every season, if you're looking for inspiration, try Kettlewell Colours. They manufacture an unsurpassed range of knitwear in every color featured in your color swatch.

The knitwear comes in sumptuous fabrics, merino wool, lambswool and cashmeriono (a mix) and comes in richly hued shades from both Cool and Warm palettes. 

Whether you choose soft and subtle or striking and dramatic you will find old favorites and new styles for every occasion. 

A cardigan is one of my winter favorites. If your temperature fluctuates like mine then it's a no-brainer to take on and off!
