When it comes to fall and winter styling, nothing is better than braving the chilly weather with colorful prints and patterns. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you want to stand out in a sea of dark-, blue- or grey-clad folks, winter prints is the name of the game -- and the brighter the merrier at that.

That said, let's try to explore the different ways to wear winter colors without looking too gloomy and somber. With overcast days due to dominate as we go deeper into the cold months, the last thing you'll want to look is dull and frumpy. So don't shortchange yourself and add a bit of razzle-dazzle to your outfits with these styling tips:

1. Know the difference between summer and winter prints.

Sometimes, both of them can be confused with each other. But know that summer prints are different in the sense that they're described as citrus-y, wispy and bright. On the other hand, winter prints are more in to bold patterns in geometric forms with a touch of positively jarring colors here and there.

Adding a pop of color to your ensemble is a stylish way to not only stand out but to brighten up a dull, grey day. Fall colors, such as exotic red, royal blue and cognac, are colors that are sure to make you pop out against a backdrop of black winter coats and foggy cityscapes.

3. Wear it either as an ensemble or as one choice item.

Wear winter prints either as a dress or coat or just select a piece and wear it around a black turtle neck or black skirt. Either way, you're sure to be a sartorial centerpiece on gloomy days.
