How NOT to be Boring with Neutral Colours

Is wearing neutral colours boring or just playing it safe?

It does not have to be either of these. We are sharing 3 tips to pull off an all neutral colour look ensuring you look effortless chic.

So what are neutral colours?

Neutrals are colours that typically don't appear on the colour wheel. The most common neutrals include black, white & grey. By adding a hint of colour hue to white, cream, camel, tan etc is created.

Neutral colours are an essential part of a capsule wardrobe. Your basics should be in neutral, which would make it effortless to mix and match with other pieces and colours.

Because neutrals are not "colours", but actually shades, they mostly blend well together and can effortlessly be mixed and matched.

Following these simple 3 tips you can effortlessly mix and match neutral and even wear head to toe one colour and still look striking.

1. Texture

Texture in neutrals is important to add interest for example wearing head to toe in one neutral, could look a bit boring. But add different textures and it could be striking! Think velvet and chiffon combo, waxed pants with chiffon....
