How to Wear Neutrals: So Little Can Say So Much

Fashion | 11 January 2011

by Allie Paxton

Neutral colors are one of the hottest trends this season because of their natural and soft effects, creating the ultimate girly and chic look. Nude hues are perpetual fashion staples that give us a sophisticated look and will never go out of style.

From ivory and pale pink, to nude and taupe, we absolutely love these fresh hues and the maximum impact they give our wardrobe! Neutrals can be worn for every occasion, but the key is how to wear them properly in order to create this fresh feminine look. Here is how to master the art of wearing neutrals:

1. Be careful not to wash out your skin tone. Women with a lighter complexion should wear darker shades of neutrals such as coffee brown or black. On the contrary, women with a darker complexion should wear pale colors such as pink and ivory to make their natural features stand out.

2. Pair similar hues that complement one another in order to highlight different textures and styles.

3. Don’t be afraid to mix and match! Another way to highlight neutrals is to pair them with bold colors. This highlights your features, while adding some flair to your look. Neutrals also go perfectly with pastels, which are all the rage for this upcoming spring season.

4. Even make your nails go neutral! Nude hues look as great on our fingers as they do on our clothes. Other awesome shades to wear on your fingers are cute pastels. Try “Mint Candy Apple” and “Lilacism” by Essie!

5. Embrace nude footwear. A pair of nude platforms or pumps elongate your legs, making them the perfect flattering touch to this naturally beautiful style. Two great options from LuLu*s are the Go Max Ashland 13 Grey Pastel Patent Pumps, and the Go Max Ashland 13 Natural Patent Pumps.

Embrace your natural side this year and add some neutral pieces to your wardrobe so you never go out of style! Besides, who doesn’t want to show off their natural beauty?

Here are some adorable products from LuLu*s to jump-start your neutral line:
