I love to choose dark, rich, shades in the winter.  Think nutmeg or chocolate.  Basic black is always a nice option as well.  The deeper shades complement winter clothing choices- layers of cottons, silks or wools, in my case.  Nothing like a cocoa brown bralette under a steely silk camisole paired with a woven shirt and cashmere sweater.  Layers make for comfortable warmth in the winter as well as style.

Another important winter addition is the silk slip.  Real silk adds a layer of warmth and just feels so good against your skin.  A slip in a dark neutral pairs with almost anything and can be worn so many ways.  Slips shouldn’t be treated like precious objects: silk is relatively durable, for a fine fabric, and can be washed and worn and loved for years.
