Short days. Dark skies. Colorless landscapes. I get it: winter can be depressing. But is that really a reason to match the season's scenery with equally gloomy apparel?
Quite the contrary, nature's descent into wintery dreariness should be your cue to call on brighter palettes to perk up your look (and outlook on life).
For that exact reason, plus-size fashion brand Addition Elle has injected a range of luscious jewel tones into key wardrobe pieces that'll jazz up any winter ensemble. Get ready to color your world with luxurious shades of purple, red, and indigo.
La vie en mauve
The most regal color in the spectrum, purple has a magical quality and mysterious appeal. Wear it right and you'll give off an air of dignified elegance and nobility.
Casual wear: Pull a long purple dolman-sleeve sweater over a pair of stretchy leggings and mid-calf riding boots.
Party wear: Dare to wear a glowing purple MXM satin and lace bustier with black Chloe-fit pants, red pumps and a matching red clutch.
Office wear: Make an impression by pairing a chic black business suit with a sparkling Crown purple sequin-front top.
Forever red
Fashion's love affair with all things red transitions seamlessly into the winter season. Evocative of passion, power and desire, this statement color is as intense as it gets.
Casual wear: All you need is a bright red MXM screen-print tee, flared MXM jeans, a crochet infinity scarf, and a classic black boyfriend blazer.
Party wear: Turn up the heat in a ruby red sleeveless shutter blouse, Love & Legend skinny dark-wash denims, long multi-chain earrings, and a snakeskin clutch.
Office wear: Tuck a lovely red lace tank into a Michel Studio pleather trim skirt (with tummy control), and top it off with an extra long knotted necklace.
Irresistibly indigo
A symbol of integrity, intelligence and truth, indigo is reminiscent of a midnight sky, making it a perfect inspiration for nighttime attire.
Casual wear: Add a splash of color to a basic white tee and bootcut jeans with a beautiful indigo cardigan.
Party wear: Make it a night to remember in a sequin-front tank top, layers of textured bangles, oversized hoops, and a statement ring.
Office wear: Spice up your regular office attire with an eye-catching indigo fooler wrap blouse and a short black pin-tuck skirt.
The colors are spectacular. The looks are simple yet stunning. The prices are affordable. Yep: Addition Elle has found the perfect formula to beat the winter blah. What more could a plus-size beauty ask for?
