“It is an enduring classic and a rich alternative to traditional black.

Aqua

Banana Republic

To add a more daring shade, Cooper suggests opting for aqua pieces.

Perfectly Soft Crew-Neck Sweater

Nordstrom

“Think of it as a lighter and more vivid version of turquoise.

It can also totally be repurposed going forward to spring and even into next fall/winter.”

Camel trousers with a silky sky-blue blouse create a sophisticated yet unexpected color combination.”

Perfectly Soft Crew-Neck Sweater

Banana Republic

It is timeless, brings warmth and richness to any look, and pairs beautifully with most other colors.

Camel is fabulous when worn with black or other complementary shades and varying shades of brown and grey.

Though subtle, it is a look-popper."

Chiffon Ruffle Blouse

White House Black Market

“Its rich, calming, timeless, smooth, and chocolate/coffee-reminiscent.

I’ll even be trading in my black bikini for one in mocha.”

And thanks to the mermaid-core trend, there are more choices than ever.

Ultra-Stretch Ponte Bootcut Pants

Quince

Chocolate brown is an excellent base color for winter.

Think wool coats, corduroy pants, sleek midi skirts, or structured leather boots.

It’s a friendlier alternative to black for fairer skin tones, adding warmth and richness."

SPANX® AirEssentials Sleeveless Jumpsuit

Spanx

Think pairing a pink silky blouse with a burgundy blazer.

I also love pink with chocolate brown and Mocha Mousse."

“It’s just as soft and creamy as winter white but not quite as bright.

Double Handle Crossbody Bag

Mark & Graham

This muted tone helps to hide the normal wear and tear that we see on clothing during inclement weather.

The matte pearl color is chic yet versatile.”

I love to accessorize this color combo with silver jewelry for heightened elegance.

Holy-Grail Leather Block Heel Booties

Dillards

It also pairs effortlessly with Mocha Mousse for a sophisticated look as well."

Red resonates because it’s complementary to so many other colors and works well with neutrals alike.

“I love it for outerwear, knits, and pants.

The Cropped Two Button Blazer in Stretch Cotton

Ann Taylor

It pairs beautifully with silver boots or soft gray and transitions effortlessly into spring.”

It’s the perfect shade for an incredibly eye-catching statement piece without feeling over the top.
