If brights are requisites for summer dressing, gem tones are your go-tos for the months leading up to Christmas. Rich, vivacious, and flattering on every skin tone, these jewel-inspired hues are designed for round-the-clock glamor.
If, like many a working woman, you fall back on black for most occasions, why not give these treasured tints a try? They’re dramatic but not dreary, elegant yet eye-catching--and, most of all, they reflect the cheerful decadence that is de rigeur for the holidays.
Below, find 18 ways to wear burgundy, violet, and teal—or, in jewel-speak, garnet, amethyst, and malachite.
