How to mix light colors in your wardrobe: 38 outfit ideas.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- This style guide will give you plenty of outfit ideas based on complementary colors that go with black, grey, white, red, yellow and more. Depending on your color type you can add light colors to your capsule wardrobe to get a more personal style. Most people prefer to just go with black or darker tones as it simplifies their choices. This comes at the cost of self-expression and personal happiness.That’s why I’ve decided to do a little experiment and show you how to include light colors in your winter wardrobe. Have a look at this new video if you’d like to get inspired. I’ve managed to put together a light-colored wardrobe that consists of 7 tops, 5 bottoms, 2 dresses, 2 pairs of shoes and a bag. In total, this resulted in 38 interchangeable looks in a casual style with classic elements.

This is one of (if not THE) best channels about fashion on UA-cam. Why aren't there more views and subscribers is beyond me?!?
I found her because somebody mention her in another channel. I felt in love immediately, because she loves colors as I do.
We have to spread the word. Everybody will benefit!
@@mioangel1227 I found her for same reason and I also felt in love immediately because she works with ethical brands and this channel is much much more than another fashion-vlog :)
I really enjoy these videos, Daria, and I'm really glad you chose cool colors! I sometimes wear light colors--today I wore off-white and light grey. I would say maybe 30% of my winter wardrobe is lighter but something about dark colors makes me feel warmer & cozier. I'd love to see a new video where to take "existing" items that aren't fully interchangeable and edit them/ add a few new pieces to make it work.
Nice idea! I think I can try to make a video like that ;)
I second this request!! 😀
I just unpacked my fall/winter clothes here in TX and noticed how dark everything was. After the long Spring and Summer seasons filled with so much color and pattern that I love, I took a look at my capsule and said 'I have GOT to add some color!' This reminder (re-watch of your video) is perfect timing. You always know what your students need.
❤️❤️❤️
Recently I've started to wear more light colors and I really liked it. Especially in late winter when it's dark outside and spring is so wanted. Thank you for this video, it's very inspiring, I want to experiment more with colors after it :)
The best channel about fashion! I really admire your style, Daria!
I have no idea how you are able to pull it out so beautiful collection from just few pieces!! You are a master! Regards
Love the white shoes
I like to use white or light blue as a base and then add a pop of other colour. Like, I have an orange sweater that looks pretty awesome with some light blue jeans. Or nude/pink with blue also works quite well! I used to wear all-black all of the time, so wearing lighter colours was a huge change for me, but I never regret expanding my views.
Daria, I have been involved in colour theory & wardrobe capsules say for approximately 25 years! I love your videos, I love your commitment to each client. You provide them with depth and perception. The most difficult wardrobe is the one we produce for ourselves. I still enjoy the season changes Canada allows us, and look forward to each new year of being extremely healthy and well. Emotional wellness is heavily weighted on participation, knowing we are in charge of ourselves. You give the client the power of choice. Thank you.
This one is my favorite so far. I love the colors! Thank you!
I really like light colors in winter. I’m trying to get away from too much black since my hair is turning white. Thank you for your excellent videos. 💗
I just sow this now in 2022 but find it wonderful, even for me. I'am short. I'm definietly using it for my next shopping. Maybe a lovely idea to make the same with items from 2022 and thanks again Daria, always great to see your enthousiast kind person on your videos. Have a nice day!
I am def a fan of black and brown in winter - however, I find nothing beats a cool baby blue and white winter outfit. It's giving ice queen vibes.
So helpful. I'm so glad you went with cool pallette. Thank you.
Daria, you have helped me and my roomates understand appropriate wear for various occasions. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
So cute! You guys are welcome! ❤️
You have sharp and creative eyes😱😍😍😍. You were able to combine colors that formed a perfect palette 😍💖👍🏻
I just found your sight, I think your system is brilliant. Very easy to adapt. Thank you. Live long and prosper.
Thanks! So happy to hear that! It is quite easy to adapt and you won't even need to throw anything away. A win-win! 😉🖖
Thats my Dream wardrobe. I really like the colors and cuts. Thanks!
Ah! Finally light colours for winter! There's always so much black, navy and grey in winter. Thanks for showing us how to do it. I don't own any light colours (winter clothes) so this is a challenge but at least I can start thinking about it for when I need to replace a piece.
Dear Daria, I really love all your videos. Your content is so wholesome and informative. Love from India.
Your music choices and transitions were really nice in this.
Thanks! I am learning ☺️
Thank you! This is best! As a soft summer it is so difficult to find winter clothes that are not black or warm camel!
I LOVE light colors in winter!!
ok you know what, I'm just going to do myself a favor and watch every single one of your videos
I love your channel! Your lessons taught me to see things in a different perspective. More power! 💕
I love red ❤ very flashy crimson red. I wear this color all year around but when it gets cold, I tend to alternate between bright red and burgundy. During spring and summer, I have both red and coral outfits.
Although these are not at all "my" colors, I find your work inspirational. Thank you for sharing these with us!
You know, after I said these are not "my" colors, I thought, "Maybe I should try it. Spring is around the corner, and I'm a little bored of all this burgundy..." Today I'm wearing two pieces I had never put together before: a pair of very light gray trousers, and a soft blue-green sweater. The combination is making me quite happy. I even got my heirloom Alexandrite ring out of storage, and it's amazing how good its teal-to-magenta changing colors look with this outfit! Thank you again, Daria. Your creative spark lights other people's fires!
Thank you very much for your response. I really do appreciate. And always on a look out for your videos. I'm already in such for a very stylish brand. That can be like cos styles, so that I can maintain my outfit style. And I have also been learning a lot from you thank you.
Даша!! Это же 100% мой гардероб 😂😂 все вещи из видео у меня либо уже есть, либо стоят в виш-листе на этот сезон)
Спасибо за видео!
Жизнь боль, когда твой любимый человек принципиально не любит чёрный) я бы хотела ещё посмотреть на мужскую капсулу в таком же стиле)
It is admirable that you are able to put all of those outfits together in 40 minutes. Online shopping takes me ages lol. Too many options!
love your red shirt! i bought a vneck cashmere sweater in that color! now to style it...
Thank you for this video! I was just thinking about how to add some lighter colors to my wardrobe. I have a dark complexion with cool undertones; your suggestions gave me just the inspiration I needed!
You should look for 'icy', quite bright but still very light colours. Icy blue and a bright lavender could be nice on you!
Fabulous video
This is amazing!
more videos like this please! love the colors!
I am in love with this capsule! I am winter and lighter colours in my palette suits me better and this is just perfection Daria :-)
Thank you!!!!
Light colors in winter is chic! My goal for this year- no black color in my wardrobe! Thanks for inspiration
I love your videos and those colors!! 😍
Definitely need this for my -almost all dark clothing- closet!
Love your system and style. Would love to see you do a video about travel wardrobe.
One of my favorite outfits in winter is white jeans, cream turtleneck, and beige trench! When I wear light colors it's white/cream or pale blue.
Oh I remember my teacher once said that it’s the chicest chic to wear total white in winter and total black in summer. and I agree! :)
Thank you for this smart and inspiring video. I love to listen to your gentle voice while you're creating such beautiful outfits. Me, as a big fan of lighter colours in winter, really enjoyed it!
This is so perfect. I wanna copy it rn to my wardrobe!
This has become my favourite video of yours, it is very nice learning how you work on the capsule wardrobes. I have a mostly light grey wardrobe, as it is my favourite colour and I love wearing monochrome outfits in grey! However, I often feel like it looks like I am wearing a "pyjama outfit" if I don't incorporate (grey) denim, but I would like to dress more classical without loosing the monochrome and somewhat edgy look, and without looking like a pyjamas.
It encourage me to choose stylish,colorful and variety wardrobe!!..😊 thank you for this video it helps me a lot though am not fashionista.. You made it work and simple for me..😁
so jealous of you for having such a warm winter
How fun! I need to more creative so I don’t constraint to buy new clothes!! Great tips!
I think You look stunning in this shade of red! I just can't take my eyes of you, you look so bright and cheerfull ^^
Thank you for another great video!
Thank you! This is a really useful video! The first one I have seen on the channel. Can't wait to see more.
You indeed have tge best channel I love all of your content !! Have been bingewatching like crazy :)
Oh this is my favourite wonder wardrobe yet (and I’ve watched your videos from the beginning) I feel inspired to redo my wardrobe for spring thank you ❤️
Oh wow, you are so good at this! Your videos are always so inspiring :)
Hey Daria, I love your capsules! and I love to wear color, specially in winter. Sometimes I do some crazy mix that for some people make not sense, and other times if I want to be more sober I would add at least one layer with a bold color, and for that I am fan of colorful cardigans. For example blue denim, white sneakers maybe with some details, print tshirt, PINK CARDIGAN and wine red teddy coat. Another can be long flowered dress, YELLOW CARDIGAN, black suede oversized coat and black boots. Thanks for the inspo!
Sounds awesome and super fun! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Daria, the video is very clear. It's not very easy for me to incorporate light colours in my wardrobe but it's definitely something I would like to try. Usually, I replace my black and navy clothes with light grey and small hounds tooth patterned clothes and add the few light coloured items that I own. However, I am not very satisfied with the results. I'm currently following the Wonder Wardrobe course and I am very excited to learn more. I believe I am in good hands !
Yes, you’re! ❤️ So if you have any doubts or questions about you colour palette just write me and we’ll figure it out together ;)
@@wonderwardrobe Okay. Yes I will, thank you Daria.
I loved the video, i would love to see a capsule inspired by soft autumn colour palette
You are amazing!!!!I admire you very much😍go on!kisses from Greece❤❤❤
Amazing video! Thank you so much Daria ❤️ I think that this color palette is just perfect.
Hello miss Daria! Can you give us some tips on ironing clothes? Even if i buy myself beautiful blouses I don't know how to mantain their structure and I can't help but notice how well ironed your clothes are!!!
I cheat a use a dryer and a wet towel lol.
I reakky admire your point of view. Good job!
Six and a half minutes of pure pleasure, Daria. Fun to see you playing with your color chips! I love the white sneaks in this wardrobe, but for winter and for variety the white boots aren't doing it for me. In so many of the outfits they create an unanchored feel; for me a more practical choice would be a pair of boots in a color similar to the mushroomy "main" color which would be a lot more practical for winter weather. Thanks for sharing your inspired creativity with us!
P.S. It was really great to see the jacket added at the end. A big difference in your styling is that there is rarely any layering, and even in my job as a primary teacher I feel more professional (and more prepared for the vicissitudes of school heating!) if I have a cardigan or jacket layer. In my wardrobe I have an e*ual number of layers, tops and bottoms. You might always include one jacket option for folks like me!
Yes! I agree that dark cacao shade can be a perfect choice for this wardrobe. Of course white boots are not practical for most of us. But I like the concept anyway haha.
Yes, I get it I will try adding more extra items for layering whenever possible. Sometimes I just simply don’t have enough time to find all the perfect pieces for these YT wardrobes.
BTW did you see the video with layering ideas? If not, you might like it: ua-cam.com/video/AdKLDjFkqFU/v-deo.html
Great video, love this colour palette!
I'm in love with this wardrobe! Well done, as always! :)
Beautiful!
I like your channel very much, thank you Daria for your impression.
Wonderful, professional and personable! Your work is marvelous and helpful. I would not have considered a capsule wardrobe because most advocates, as you note, seem to take away all the art and color and creativity in the process, which seemed unpleasantly restrictive to me, although I saw the appeal also. As a "creative" with a sober business life--I'm a tax lawyer, and a sometime artist/writer, so your journey from environmental law to fashion activist quite charmed me!-- I've started playing with colors (yes, paint chips into little squares just in my favorite colors) to attempt some of your recommendations. I have questions about the "neutral" category. I can see gray blues, navy, or dark greens, olive and khakis as neutrals, wondering if you agree? How about browns and golds as neutrals? Is it saturation that makes a neutral in the dark ranges and "whiteness" at the light end? Also, I can find few items of clothing I want to wear and will be sewing, remaking and altering...including lingerie, because I do know what I want but cannot find it, both styles and colors seem elusive. Lucky for me, my grandmother (who sewed for a designer in NY just after WWII) taught me SO much, including how to identify fabric by it's feel. Thank you for the findings videos, just delightful, and for sparking these memories and a renewed interest in sensible ethical homemade couture.
I am really fair and pale so I ware ice pink it brithens up my complexion. And light blue also.
Thanks🎉
Subscribed! :-)This has been the best video ever about making a fall/winter capsule wardrobe for me!! I've been looking for some tips to make one for summer light personal color, but most of them(actually almost all of them) were showing black/white/brown/beige which does not fit into my best color pallette. Thanks for sharing your tips!!
Oh well, usually people go for the easiest and most basic solutions. But I am all for self-expression 😉 You can find more examples in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLB_wHC_s02d5RUSp_HFUXfaH50XZCSF0y.html
Everything about this collection is me: body shape, color, style! Yes!
I have started to "lighten up" my wardrobe by adding lighter neutrals or near-neutrals. I am medium toned, medium contrast, so mostly lighter colors are in the upper part of my body. Now I put myself a rule that every time I dress there must be light color at least somewhere. For example, if I have a dark grey turtleneck, black pants, dark shoes, then I wear a light grey or off-white cardigan. Or I add a lighter colored scarf. I don't use much of light color in the bottom because my lower part is a bit heavy. In winter, like in any other seasons, I wear a mix of different tones, both dark, medium and light
Hi please Daria, what is the name of the store you shopped at because they always have cool toned colors?
love it! I'm not a summer color type...but I do have a lot of color in my wardrobe:)
So happy to have found your channel. Please can you tell me what programme you used to put the items you chose into, that then created all the different outfits?
It’s not a software, these are skills :) I don’t use any apps, just a simple photo editor
This is just perfect!!! I only wish that you tag the brands, so we could actually purchase the items from the wardrobe. For example, I am crazy over the blue trouser -where are these from?
Oh my gosh, im so lucky i find your channel!
I always wear light colors with beige and golden brown to match my haircolor and depth for a ”matched” look
I got a new down coat in white, so I will see how its changes my perspective from black.
this is so beautiful, thanks.
Adorable! And i love how you show how to chose colors. One question: i am not keen on white shoes for winter. What to do?
Light grey/navy/cream/silver will fit well here as well, I think.
Daria Andronescu thank you! This video will be my next winter inspiration. I love black but i just get enough of it in winter. I love all black looks but not every day since the rain start until the snow fades:-) but as i love these colors, this summer i will use them as well in light fabrics of course.
Love this! Where is that pink skirt from? It's beautiful!
Ughh my struggle 😩I’m learning that warm doesn’t have to equal dark for winter. I am looking for colorful coats and scarves. Even handbags. It’s a work in progress. I thrift to test out colors or other neutrals than black
Hi Daria🌹I appreciate your work & artistic way of thinking everytime -I’d like to ask a question: although I find the colours& the matches fantastic, I can’t help thinking of the socks or stockings that can match together with these outfits.
As I get cold easily in winter, I can’t imagine an outfit without legwear😉 what do you suggest? What kind of textures and colours?
thanks so much for your professional help
I edited the capsule with black tights, but maybe you haven’t noticed ;) I think different shades of grey tights and socks will be perfect here as well. Recently I’ve made a video about tights and socks that explains how to choose them and why. Take a look at it here: ua-cam.com/video/3kfANuO53Yw/v-deo.html
Love the colour palette! Just wondering, how would you style a hot pink top? I'm at a loss as to how to incorporate it into my outfits!
Maybe this video will give you some ideas: ua-cam.com/video/TlSrozUt2_k/v-deo.html
Omg perfect
Love your channel! Can you do warm colors?
Thanks! I’ve made so many already! Please check my channel for more ;)
Daria you are my favorite so far. I really do like watching your videos. I have learned a lot from you.
Thank you very much for sharing.
I 'm in love with this brand COS Modern Functional Considered Design because thier clothes and how it sits, it also makes a nice statement. But I would really like to know your opinion.
Oh well, COS used to be my favorite shop and it was the hardest one to give up. I also like their designs but they don’t use eco materials and don’t say anything about their suppliers or working conditions. And knowing that it’s H&M’s brand I have very little trust in them. So I did gave it up eventually. It was weird at first because I didn’t know where to shop affordable and stylish clothes, but in time I found new and better alternatives. Now I couldn’t care less about COS hehe
Arket which is also H&M’s brand is very similar to COS style and price wise but at least they use eco materials. So you could start from there before you find better brands in the future.
I only wear yellows, greens, red, and black in the winter because it matches my skin tone and looks great with a lot of things. I would like to incorporate more colors in my winter wardrobe because it can get a bit dull.
I have a cream-coloured coat. Outerwear in light or bright shades are a very easy way to incorporate lighter colours in winter that’ll actually be seen when you venture outside in cold weather! A little more high maintenance sometimes, though.
You are some sort of genius.
pastel colours 😍
mh-,mh-, mh,- - let's go with cool colours! Yesss!!! :-))))
I really enjoy your videos, especially paintings colour palettes. Although I have one suggestion, eye loves balance so mixing cold and warm colours in one look usually looks better than just cold/warm palette. I understand that you create you work with colour analysis in mind but bottom parts of the outfit are not really that important when it comes to matching skin tones. I would love to see cold-warm colour mixes.
Where did you learn that a mix of cold and warm colours create balance? And colour typology is not about skin tones, it’s much more complex than that.
Mix of cold and warm colours create beautiful combinations like complimentary, split complimentary, triads and tetrads, you will never create any of those if you limit yourself on just cold or just warm colours. There is nothing quite as interesting as yellow plus blue or purple etc. And some people say hair and eyes matter for colour typology, others that just skin tone (merriamart, I recommend her videos). One way or another trousers, shoes, belts, handbags are all parts of an outfit that really will not make us look bad or pale so worth having a play there. Ofc do with this comment whatever you want, no reason to get defensive. You do great work!
It’s possible to match cold and warm colours together in one look and in fashion it’s used only for advertising (fashion shows/magazine editorials, makeup editorials) all the time to make specific items
to stand out. In image consulting we don’t use these type of colour combinations because our aim is to make a person to stand out not an item he’s wearing. Anyway like in any creative field pro image consultants use colour in a special way with specific goals in mind. Plus all the colours you’ve mentioned can be cold or warm or even neutral ;) Colour typology is not only about your face, it’s about the whole look, about harmony and balance, the impression you make on other people and much more... I am not being defensive, I am just trying to understand where did you get that info and what makes you believe you know better 😊
Well, for me blue is a cold colour, there can be warmer blue and colder blue but ultimately blue is a cold colour. On colour wheel used for any form of visual art blue is always cold. The system you talk about made up some extra assumptions that I disagree with. You do not seem interested in taking any points which is fair enough, nothing wrong with having a strong opinion. So we must agree to disagree;).
Interesting
I see daria’s new video notification, I click!
I think "winter white" is a great start for incorporating light colors. It begs for a similarly light or ice-cream colored complement. Heather grays also ask for a lighter color to make it an outfit pop. The one winter color everyone wears is red, but that's not really a light color. Pink, I think?!, might be great in winter.
Can warm skinned people wear cold colors?
Would it be possible to teach us how to do it? Xx
She has a course online!
I love colours, no matter the season, but sometimes I need that all black outfit. It makes me stand out and invisible at the same time 😁
I am wearing total black right now! 😎
just a small suggestion, appreciated if could upload detail or link of the clothes chosen as examples..
Casion in the description box she specifies why she never put brands or links of the clothes she chooses 😉
Send me this templates. Where buy?
