Bright Colors.
Don’t save bright colors for spring! Donna Karan reminded us of this age-old technique for making bright, cheery color work in cold weather: add black! Don’t forget to update your stash of black tights at the beginning of the season. A shiny, no-pills pair makes an outfit look so much more pricy.
