Winter is the time to wrap up in roses!

It goes without saying that when it comes to clothes there is a different colour pallet for the different seasons, we learn this from a very young age with our school uniform. In the cold winter months we’re in grey jumpers and navy skirts with itchy dark socks pulled up to our knees, the summer is a different story with striped cotton dresses in more seasonal hues.

Even after we graduate from the torment of having to wear ungainly school uniforms we subconsciously adopt a way of thinking about how we dress from season to season. Even now in the summer I might opt for a white sundress or a bright pink camisole top whereas in the winter I lean more towards the darker end of the colour spectrum. Winter is all about burgundies, blacks, greys and navy colours.

There are a number of very logical reasons why we humans, in general, dress in this way, it’s in tune with the changing of the seasons, it’s a psychological thing and it’s also practical; dark clothes insulate heat and light clothes reflect it, makes sense, right?

But this year see’s the fashion world throw a bit of a curve ball when it comes to our transitional colour palate as one of the biggest colours of season is…Pink! Yes pink, in all its interesting and glorious forms from dark berry to sorbet shades and candy hues, pink is everywhere you look.

On the catwalk everyone from Topshop Unique to Roksanda Ilincic and Simone Rocha sent their models down the runway in variations on this rosy theme. This emergence of feminine colours has been met with open arms as it’s a brilliant transitional colour from fall into winter and heralds a return of a real sense of femininity back into fashion.

If you’re interested in playing around with pink this season then we’ve put together a little list of some of our favourite rosy items to get your mitts on!
