In the fashion world, winter is generally a time for exploring darker colours, from blacks to charcoals to classic earth tones. This year these typical colours are of course being shown by many different designers, but there are some fun new colours being thrown in to keep things interesting and exciting.

Classic dark charcoal is a terrific colour for all sorts of fashion pieces, including career suits, trousers, skirts, shoes, and accessories like scarves and handbags. To go along with these charcoal pieces, though, watch for splashes of colour like forest green, deep plum, and rich burgundy. For the really daring, think about pairing a bright cherry red or sunshine yellow accessory with the darker charcoal; it's something you're going to see in most fashion collections and is a terrific way to create a look that's interesting, striking, and eye catching.

The earth tones of fall - burnt reds, harvest yellows, and the like - give way in winter to deeper and richer shades. A dark burgundy overcoat, with a mahogany-type undertone, is a perfect partner with a pair of dress slacks, a skirt, or high length boots. Why? Because it brings a hint of colour to your outfit without being overwhelming or overbearing.

Of course, the classic winter white is being shown all over this season, and for good reason. Winter white, especially when it has a creamy undertone, is a very fresh and clean look that fits nearly any occasion. From a day at the office to an evening on the dance floor, you'll definitely stand out when you choose a wardrobe piece in this colour. For an even more dramatic effect, pair winter white with a bright splash of colour like emerald green, royal blue or the like.

Just because it's winter, though, don't shy away from adding a hint of bright colours to your traditional wardrobe pieces. Many designers this year are showing the standard darker earth tone pieces, but livening them up with bright earrings, sparkling necklaces, or exotic handbags. Why not try a leopard-print clutch purse to go with your classic black dress suit or sheath style dress?

As always, the key to looking great this winter is to find the colours and tones that work best for you and then use them to spice up your wardrobe in key places. Don't be afraid to try something a little bit different because it's bound to make your wardrobe more interesting and exciting!
