How to Shop Like a Personal Stylist – A Plain Coloured Top and Scarf Combo

A plain coloured top and scarf is an outfit combination that suits autumn and winter.

I like to team my plain top and scarf with jeans for weekends, and dressed up for work with a skirt and blazer.

This style of outfit is my combo of choice when dressing for winter. I add layers if the weather permits and delayer as the day gets warmer.

I have acquired a few plain coloured tops to work with my scarf collection. I like to pick my top colours from the pattern of the scarf.

I recently bought this ¾ sleeve knit top from Sussan during their sale. I knew I had the scarves to match with the burnt orange colour.

Black, white and grey tops will always be the perfect base for your scarf to stand out. But I do appreciate a colourted top that is picked up from the patterned scarf. Wearing colour during winter should be embraced more, I say.

The coloured tops of the season vary from your dark cool tones of mulberry, teal and charcoal to your warmer colours including terracotta, copper, mustard and berry.

I’m loving all the tops in this collection. From long sleeved tees to light weight knits. You only need two or three of these in your wardrobe to rotate around over winter.
