Style Inspiration: How to wear neutral colours and not look boring
updated the Sunday, May 8, 2016From creating contrasting ensembles to mixing loud colours with softer shades, we’ll inspire you to make a wardrobe out of neutral colours.
Neutral colours can look impressive when layered correctly and paired with the right spectrum of colours. Neutrals sometimes get a bad rep for appearing “boring”, but the reality is that they are in fact flexible and trend-proof, proving to be acceptable during any number of occasions – from the professional workplace to a casual brunch outing.
Neutrals achieve a played-down look. Unlike warmer tones or cooler hues, they are subtle and pleasing to the eye more often than not. This makes them easy to be mixed, matched and even layered with even more neutrals or louder colours like bright reds and electric blues.
Let the street style goddesses show you exactly how to wear neutral colours – head up to the gallery above for some fun inspiration. You’ll be a master at layering on some monochrome tones, soft greys, sandy beiges and chalky creams in no time.
