For a base layer, the choice of color is sometimes more important than the style, as it can dictate the overall look when worn with outer garments. Black, white, and gray are undoubtedly classic options, and their versatility is well-earned. So, the question arises: in winter, besides black, white, and gray, what other colors can a base layer sweater be?
#1 I believe many people must think of deep blue. This color, while close to black, stands apart from it. It possesses the inclusiveness of black but lacks its coldness. When worn well, it can exude a youthful and playful vibe reminiscent of college style, while also complementing a wide range of outerwear styles effortlessly.
#2 Green is quite a distinctive color, especially the green in autumn and winter, which carries a hint of seasonal depth and charm, making it even more unique. However, you can think outside the box. If you feel that the color of your base layer sweater isn't versatile enough, can't your versatile black or white woolen coats come to the rescue and complement it perfectly?
#3 The popular caramel color this year is derived from the beige family, so encountering beige naturally brings a sense of familiarity. The vertically striped knit design upholds the essence of simplicity and elegance, being loose and slimming at the same time, exuding a slightly lazy yet very confident aura, making it an excellent choice for a base layer.
#4 The sweet pink hue, tinged with a hint of orange-red, yet not as bright, offers a touch less sugary than pure pink. The gentle nature of fine-knit fabric is inherently knitted, unassuming and unhurried, making it perfect for layering. Pairing it with a light-colored mini umbrella skirt would certainly create a stunning effect.
#5 A subtle color-blocking design does not compromise the excellent stretchability of the knitwear, nor does it hinder its ability to highlight a good figure. The ruffled flare sleeves with a contrast between navy blue and pink require a bit of consideration when pairing with outerwear. Opting for a navy blue or pink wool coat or down jacket to match would certainly elevate your outfit to a new level.
#6 Besides the profound navy blue worth trying, the lively light blue is also a suitable choice for a base layer. It is graceful and refreshing, adding a touch of brightness. Although it belongs to the cool color palette, it feels very comfortable and natural. This is probably closely related to the inherent gentleness of blue. The embroidery on the V-neck showcases meticulous attention to detail.
#7 Incorporating a hint of gray elegance into green brings out the best in the word "unique", especially with the addition of floral prints. While solid colors can certainly complement various outerwear possibilities, having a couple of patterned base layers is equally important, so that you won't hesitate when encountering minimalist outerwear.
#8 Some girls are fond of black wool coats for their ease of maintenance and slow revelation of flaws, making a bright red knit base layer all the more necessary. With a simple knit high neck and prominent lantern sleeves, perhaps it's meant to steal the spotlight when the coat is taken off.
#9 Laziness and artistic flair are the most confident expressions of loose clothing, which naturally require some color to complement. Deep coffee brown will be an excellent choice. Beyond black, white, and gray, only such a solid color can spark associations and help us discover a different version of ourselves and unique ways of dressing.
