If you’re about to clean out your closet and cast away everything that’s bright, breezy and easy let us stop you right there. The trends that took over our wardrobes when the weather was warmer are surprisingly suited to gloomy, grey skies. Don’t believe us? Below four Nykaa Fashion staffers (including me), show you how to carry forward everything from the season’s juiciest hues to its most playful prints into the cooler months.

The shades 

We’re eschewing earthy for a palette that guarantees to beat all blues (monsoon, midweek or otherwise). Think pretty pastels and hot, sunshine hues.

The prints 

Circles are doing the rounds on everything from second-skin dresses to jumpsuits. But if polka dots are too pretty for you, try the season’s squares that go from gingham to microscopic.

The silhouettes

Fashion’s favourite power pairing is here to stay. Take the suit out of office by swapping pinstripes for painterly florals and blue for blush. Don’t like syncing your separates? Stock up on statement bottoms, they never go out of style.

The accessories

We’re staying in holiday mode all year long by wearing our wanderlust. And our favourite way to do so is with shell jewellery.
