Hi Everyone,
Just because it’s getting darker outside it doesn’t mean we have to step into dark clothing. In fact especially after such a short Summer here in Europe it’s a great idea to keep a bit of lightheartedness going in the colours we wear.
Whether it’s crisp whites, soft pastels or pretty neutral shades, light-coloured outfits can bring a refreshing elegance into your winter wardrobe. It’s also handy to have something light to team with your otherwise darker outfits. This helps to make them and you pop.

All of today’s outfits are available in New Collection – a lovely store in Zurich, Kilchberg, just opposite the Lindt chocolate factory. The outfits are modelled by 3 different women (Pascale – owner of New Collection, Manuela – who also works there and myself) to show you how pieces might look on different people.
How to Wear: 3 Light-Coloured Looks for Winter 2024
-
Pascale wearing a timeless double breasted suit with a beautiful light shade of camel/brown coat.
I love how carefully this look has been put together with the colours of both the turtle neck sweater and coat reappearing in the shoes.
This is also a wonderful outfit to integrate into the rest of your existing wardrobe. The blazer would look great teamed with a long pleated skirt or good pair of jeans. Especially jeans with long wide legs.
Loving these sneakers. There’s a certain elegance about them meaning they would also work well worn with a skirt or even dress.
New Collection has an online shop here but pieces not on there can either be found in store or you can phone and request them to be sent. Phone: +41 (0)44 724 41 40
2. Manuela wearing a lovely pair of leather look trousers teamed with elegant shirt and sand coloured coat.
Note the interest in the different weighted fabrics. Something which you should try to introduce into all winter 2024 outfits if possible.
Antonelli coat available online here
I love the fact that it is once again en-trend to simply wear blouses untucked . Makes life so much more comfy and does elongate the overall look.
3. Me wearing winter whites teamed with a pastel coloured sweater.
I’m always cold outside and then suddenly warm inside so love dressing with as many layers as possible.
It sounds easy but in reality it is something I find a challenge as you have to really make sure that each layer also looks good on its own. Haw many times have you gone out and chosen to stay too warm because your outfit looks wrong if you take a particular layer off – smile.
The pants are Antonelli and available online here.

Hello Yvonne,
I really like the pastel sweater you are wearing in the photo shoot. I cannot seem to find it on the website.
Thanks,

Light colored outfits are lovely for fall/winter. I especially like the first suit and the sweater in the last look. 👌
