Print Edition: November 7, 2012
Let’s face it: November can be depressing. It’s that awkward in-between month, where it’s not really fall and yet it’s not exactly winter. It’s raining, but it’s also really cold. Not to mention it’s constantly gloomy and grey.
For fashion, though, it might just be the best time to jump into a fall or winter trend that you haven’t tried yet. In this case, why not explore the best of both seasons with a colour that transcends both fall and winter: oxblood.
A gruesome name, yes, but believe me, the colour is anything but. A mix of rich burgundy and a hint of brown, this colour takes the essence of the autumn leaves and brings it into the holiday spirit of winter. Red has always been a popular colour for the colder months, but oxblood takes it a step further when it blends the brown hints of fall with this hue, resulting in a colour that is perfect for this transition period.
