Winter Picks | The Crossing

There is no doubt that mustard is THE colour this season, but what if it doesn’t suit you?

Our guest stylist, Becks Mason has been shopping at The Crossing and has written up a fantastic guide on how you can include this season’s mustard, olive, navy and burgundy into your wardrobe – even if you don’t think you suit it.

The colour mustard gets its identity from the condiment. Clothing with mustard tones can present different hues from a shade of yellowy brown, cork to a warm, spicy, gold turmeric. You will observe this heated shade in punchy block statements such as trousers, skirts and blazers or slightly more conservative options such as printed tops, jackets, scarves and bags.

Don’t forget your staple neutral colours such as navy, black, grey, olive and burgundy. They can either tone down or heighten the intensity of your chosen ensemble. Read on to capture some tricks on how to work its magic for your personal style this season.

Best for Blondes!

Try not to overwhelm your light colouring with too much block colour near your face. Soften the hue by wearing a cork or light mustard shade in printed garments and add grey, denim or navy to the chosen outfit to soften its intensity. Avoid the very heated turmeric tones.

This season colour trends are there for your pickings! The warmth you have in your colouring allows you to play with all the autumn tones that are presented this season. They harmonise together and will make you feel a million dollars. The lighter shades of red hair need to go for the softer hues of mustard and the more auburn shades can opt for more heat, such as the deep turmeric to browner shades of camel. Team with neutrals such as cream, olive green, petrol blue, navy and chocolate.
