Timeless Colour Combinations for Autumn and Winter

Hello Everyone!
Colours, just like outfit formulas, are a crucial part of well functioning and easy to navigate capsule wardrobe.
I prepared 7 timeless colour combinations for Autumn and Winter that will allow you to re-discover your wardrobe and create more outfits using the same formula.
The main colours I’m using in this video (and wearing on a daily basis) are black, beige, grey, white, navy and blue as an accent colour.
You may have different colours in your wardrobe, but as long as they all work together you will be able to create lots of different combinations and have fun with your clothes.
For the reference I’m 170cm (5’6”) tall and usually wear a size 36/10 unless I’m wearing mens clothes which are either my husbands (size XL) or thrifted in random sizes.
BAGS STYLED IN THIS VIDEO:
BLACK CROSSBODY LEATHER CROC EFFECT BAG

MEDIUM SONG BAG songmontofficial.com/collecti...
LARGE RESET TOFU BAG songmontofficial.com/collecti...
Just fyi, I would have gone for the black if I didn't have my beautiful Chylak bag already.

I love that you wear socks, so may influencers go without them, even in winter, but it’s just not practical. Plus, they’re cute!

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Thank you so much Kimberly, you're so right, I cant imagine Winter without socks. It’s snowy now so need them even more🥰

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

I think this is my favorite video of yours. Such lovely looks with so few items of clothing. Very helpful for me as I continue to curate my minimal neutral wardrobe. And your parting thoughts … very much appreciated. ☺️☺️💚

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello and thank you so so much for your sweet comment. I’m very happy you found this video helpful. Thats exactly what I’m trying to achieve in my wardrobe and on my channel - less but creative.

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

I love how you style an all black or black and navy outfit with white sneakers. The cool toned beiges and taupes are perfect for my coloring as well.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Thank you soooo much Kimberly for your comment. Looks like we have a very similar colour palette. The all black with leather and cashmere is my fave too 🥰😊

[@Tamara_bkkr]

I absolutely love the combo of grey, off white and black 🤩 but I also love taupe since beige is often a bit to warm for me.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Tamara, Yesss that’s exactly my colours. So beautiful and more flattering on. Also, you can sometimes find beige marl, which usually has a tiny bit of cool grey in it. Thank you so much for your comment🥰

[@Tamara_bkkr]

@@SlowDownInStyle Beige comes in many shades, sometimes more cooler so I can wear it. I will definitely look out for beige marl! 😊

[@linedallaire9631]

Greetings from Canada.... the all black outfits are my favorite 😍

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Line Dallaire, yessss I dont normally wear all black casually but this time I really loved it too. I guess sometimes we surprise ourselves😉

[@EmA-sm8se]

Hello Christine and hello 🇺🇸 its so nice to chat. I also absolutely love these colours, very clean, chic and easy to wear😊

[@ellb8795]

Grey CAMEL and black. Pristine.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

isn’t it lovely combo? So simple yet elegant. hank you for your comment😊

[@helenmini56]

Thanks for your videos. Great style. M&S Autograph have some cashmere stripe sweaters 🤔

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Helen and thank you for your support😊 yes, they do a lot of cashmere right. I need to check it out, thank you😉

[@dianecyment1715]

Great color combinations. I love the different ways you styled the striped top. Grey is my favorite color palette this autumn/winter. I too, would like to know where you purchased the beige/gold socks. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Diane and thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, grey is absolutely beautiful🥰 just like I replied to Lucy, I can’t remember where these socks are from, but I always buy some nice ones from &other stories and Calzedonia. I hope that helps😊

[@user-yp4hk3yt5r]

Красиво!

[@kathrynp7595]

I have silver hair so black, grey and white are my go to’s , beige does not look good on me. Thanks for the inspiration

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Kathryn, thank you so much for your comment. I can imagine these colours on you🥰 What about blue? I’m sure its great on you too😊

[@kathrynp7595]

I will try and add blue, thanks ✨

[@stevecross4561]

Yet again a really practical video . Your styling is impeccable andI really like the stripes combination! Can I ask where your zip up ankle boots are from please ? Thank you again .

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Steve, thank you so so much for your comment and sweet words. My apologies for late reply. These ankle zip up boots are actually old from Aldo, so not sure you can find them anywhere now. But if you do, they are very comfy😊🥰

[@effa9548]

Kochana, wszystkie propozycje świetne, może nie jestem fanem niebieskiego swetra, ale reszta to torpeda. Właśnie zamawiam swoje pierwsze Coversy, natchnelas mnie😁 super kanał i nie poprzestawaj w rozwijaniu go! Trzymam kciuki✊

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Witam serdecznie Effa! Bardzo ci dziekuje za przemiły komentarz, to naprawde wiele znaczy. A converse to jest cos naprawde dziwnego, jak ja wcześniej ich nie odkryłam. Sa bardzo wygodne i uwielbiam jak nadają młodzieżowego i wyluzowanego elementu stylizacji. Tylka jedna rzecz, ja jestem normalnie 40, albo 7 a moj idealny rozmiar w converse to 39.5 albo 6.5. Pozdrawiam 🥰🫶

[@effa9548]

@@SlowDownInStyle No to jestem ciekawa co też do mnie przyjedzie🙈 normalnie mam 40, zamówiłam 40 bo ten model co wybrałam jest ocieplany. Sporo ludzie piszą, że zanim dobiorą odpowiedni rozmiar to kilka paczek przez dom przelatuje. Żeby było śmiesznie, niektóre modele wychodzą mniejsze, a niektóre większe, ale już niedługo się przekonam😋 koniecznie z płaszczem👌 pozdrowienia ciepłe😘

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I think the French brand St. James has striped tops in merino. I have one of their cotton ones and I recommend sizing up on those, I don’t know about the wool ones.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Ooooooh, thank you so much Kimberly. I will check them out. The French know their stripes best😊

[@lucyleopard6482]

Great ideas, thank you. Where are your gold flecked socks from please?

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Lucy, thank you so much for your comment. To be honest I can’t remember where these socks are from, but I always buy some nice ones from &other stories and Calzedonia. I hope that helps😊

[@robynwells8249]

I love your style it’s classic with a little edge and navy is a good color n you. Also, where do you buy your socks? The nude ones. I have the worst time finding socks. Lastly, royal, cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors and one of the few I add to my very neutral wardrobe.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hi Robyn, Thank you so much for your sweet comment. Me and navy are starting a new (hopefully very long lasting) relationship :) The socks! I just added a few links for different shops to the description box, so you can check them out. I think the cobalt blue sock idea is awesome and I saw a beautiful pair at Calzedonia😊👍

[@gailsykes2691]

Robyn if it's any help I bought a 3 pack of Pringle nude socks yesterday from T K Maxx (I'm in UK). All slightly different shades with lovely soft shimmer finish. Beautiful.

[@robynwells8249]

@@gailsykes2691 Thank you! I’ll attempt to order or if I’m near a T J Max I’ll look. I live in n a small town in the U S and our shopping choices are limited.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Yesss I agree about TKMaxx/TJMaxx. I also went there yesterday and saw some pairs, although not in my style, but I think there is a great chance to find something interesting in there🥰 Thank you Gail

[@gailsykes2691]

@@SlowDownInStyle I am a bit of a sock-a-holic. I usually I go dark or colourful for boots but I love the idea of nude with trainers. Much warmer than no show socks atthis time of year. Thanks for the tip x

[@lafarrell3192]

I can’t get into stripes! I know, it’s not you it’s me 😊

[@SlowDownInStyle]

hmmmm I didnt use to wear stripes before. When it comes to colour and pattern, you must love it and feel it on you, if you don't youre never gonna feel great in it. Im sure you look lovely in other things🥰

[@judyrichter8212]

It would be great if you just got into the Video instead of talking so much. It's self explanatory. I like the color combos. Bravo I'm going to try a few.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Cool advice. Thank you. You could always mute the sound and just watch the outfits😊
