Oxblood

Oxblood, a deep reddish-brown, is one of the hottest colors this winter. A very versatile and wearable color, it can be found on everything from leggings to jackets. Oxblood can easily transition from day to night by just changing a few accessories. Here are some of my favorite oxblood colored picks.

1. The Dress

I am a sucker for Free People. Their clothes are always so comfortable and cute, which is why I was so excited to see their new winter line. Their Fitted With Daisies Dress in the color merlot is one of the best oxblood colored dresses I’ve seen this season. And at only $128, it’s a great buy that will last you for many years.

2. The Purse

One of my favorite ways to express color and style is through my accessories, namely my handbags. And with Target’s affordable price of $20, its easy to stock up on purses in every color, even bold colors.

3. The T-Shirt

T-shirts are always a staple in any wardrobe, and a very classic way to add color to an outfit. This tee by Dorothy Perkins elevates the class of a regular tee by having a sheer back and sleeves. It also brings an interesting accent by incorporating a silver zipper on the back.

4. The Jacket

Blazers are a chic alternative to a regular jacket, and this Gibson knit blazer is no exception. The single button and padded shoulders add a sophisticated look to any outfit. To make the oxblood really pop, wear with a basic white shirt and dark bottoms with ankle boots or flats in a neutral color.

                                    

5. The Boot

Now, I’ll be the first to admit, I have an obsession with the vintage Dr Marten boot and this oxblood colored boot is absolutely adorable. Not to mention their comfortability. With these boots, you can be fashionable and comfortable at the same time!

However you choose to express it, oxblood is a color that is here to stay. Oxblood can be very versatile and easily incorporated into any wardrobe and style!
