If you believe that neutral colors are boring, think again! Effortlessly low-key, stylish, and sophisticated, neutral shades are perfect for every occasion, from family activities and Saturday brunches to video calls and date nights.
The most highly-sought neutral colors are grey, black, taupe, white, and beige. The versatility of these shades makes them an excellent year-round option, apart from being simple to wear and ideal for all ages.
How to Incorporate Neutral Colors in Your Wardrobe?
Neutral colors are categorized by their subtle nature. That’s why it can be challenging to make this trend stand out. Luckily, combining your look with textures and coordinating prints and colors will guarantee you wear neutral shades like a pro.
- Pick textured loungewear
From ribbed knits and chenille to corduroy and velvet, neutral colors look irresistible on textured fabrics. Incorporating depth and interest into your outfits, textured pieces convert sleek neutrals to versatile pieces for that modern, city vibe.
For a stylish down day, you can update your loungewear with velvet or woven fabrics in grey and cream. Also, a chunky knit throw and fluffy slippers will finish your cozy set-up.
- Use statement accessories
Accessories are an excellent way to connect your look together. Nonetheless, they rarely take center stage when it comes to your entire outfit. Fortunately, neutral colors make the ideal backdrop for some of the most popular accessories in 2022. Think tote bags, bucket hats, and vintage- shades like the 007 eyewear collection by Barton Perreira worn with chic neutral shades like black, khaki, grey, and beige.
- Experiment with patterns and prints
Patterns and prints can often feel overpowering when you are wearing vibrant colors. To solve this problem, choose patterns in neutral colors. This season, muted animal and floral prints and retro strips in subdued tones are essential.
Perhaps you wish to downplay busy patterns, which might be too loud on their own? You can pair them with neutral in dark tones like olive green and chocolate brown.
- Go for timeless silhouettes
Neutral clothing pairs impeccably with timeless silhouettes thanks to its chic color palette. For maximum style points, pick designs in classic cuts like tailored trousers, cream blazers, and taupe trench coats.
Are you anxious that those shapes are too formal for that weekend dressing? Don’t worry, as you can always incorporate a casual touch by choosing pumps and trainers over brogues and heels.
- Add coordinating colors
Go for coordinating colors if you like to make your neutrals the star of your outfit. Whether you pair olive and cream, black and khaki, or taupe and beige, the good thing about neutral tones is that the color palettes complement one another.
You can pair a cream midi dress along with a neutral-toned parka in khaki, black or brown. You can finish that outfit with brown ankle boots or trainers, depending on the weather.
Whether you opt for matching grey loungewear, caramel-colored knitwear, or chic cream pieces, these relaxing tones are the best way to see them in the new season.
