Key colours for Autumn / Winter 23

Key colours for Autumn / Winter 23

By Fiona Ingham

The latest from our House of Colour blogger Fiona Ingham

As an Autumn, my Healthy Back Bags from past collections are all in warm tones. A bright coral, citrus yellow and rich dark olive provide a variety of looks for every time of year and any event. The luxe leather fabric of my bronze bag makes it perfect for formal settings. And of course, the colours coordinate with my entire Autumn palette. Recently I've had to travel light as well as hands free, so my small Limoncello Baglett has become my constant companion. It holds everything I need. Keys, credit cards, oyster card, phone, tissue, pen, sunglasses (ever hopeful!) glasses, shopping bag, hand sanitiser. Oh, and most importantly, in one of the side pockets, my True Terracotta lipstick! So, let's now take a look at the new AW23 Season Collection.

Autumns

Autumns could choose the golden Saffron to cheer up the grey months or enjoy rich Spruce from the deeper side of the palette.

Springs

Springs go bright, so Capri Blue is perfect. This lovely combo of shades works with all your neutrals: grey, navy, or the ultra-fashionable browns, caramels and beiges. The gorgeous Wild Violet is also wonderful for Springs.

Summers

Summers will be spoilt for choice with stunning Lilac, vivid Rosehip or Chestnut, to name but a few.

Winters

Winters could also choose Rosehip and Burgundy, or Spruce, a perfect green to blend into their range. Wild Violet would provide a totally different look. There is so much choice in this collection, with many other fab possibilities which I have not pin pointed, in both brights and elegant neutrals. The luxurious leather options can elevate the look for formal social or professional settings. If your clothes are primarily in neutrals, accessories are an easy way to inject colour and jazz up the look. A Healthy Back Bag, either as a single splash of colour, or in one of the fun patterns currently available, can be the perfect solution.
