WinterWausenstyle
WinterWausenstyle is a contemporary aesthetic and cultural practice centered on winter and cold-weather imagery, combining minimalist design with geometric frost-like motifs. The term arose in online art and design communities to describe a cohesive look across photography, graphic design, and fashion editorial work. It is defined by restrained color palettes—primarily whites, cool blues, and slate grays—with selective accents in muted greens or pale pinks.
