STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Next Level Neutrals

February 13th, 2015 at 2:00am

Neutrals are everywhere right now, and for good reason. They’re versatile, classic and they never go out of style. If you think that you need a bright pop of color to make your all-neutral outfit stand out, think again. This Fashionista proves that this is hardly the case.

This Fashionista’s look is simple and sophisticated. She started with the basics—an all-black base with classic black skinnies, black booties and a black sweater. To keep things interesting rather than choosing to incorporate bright colors, she opts for several lighter neutral tones. Through standout pieces like her tan wool jacket and structured white tote, she demonstrates that an outfit doesn’t have to be colorful to be eye-catching and interesting.

For a finishing touch that really pulls her neutral look together, this Fashionista selected a few standout gold accessories, like an oversized watch and gold bracelets. Her gold jewelry matches the zipper on her jacket, which shows that attention to detail can make all the difference. By keeping all the accents the same color, her outfit is coordinated and cohesive.

If you’re still worried that your neutrals will seem too dull or drab without any color, mix up the textures in your look. This Fashionista rolls the cuffs of her jacket, which introduces the subtle hint of another neutral shade and gives the outfit a little shine.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Don’t be afraid to go all-black or all-neutral. Incorporate some different textures into your outfit to make the look more interesting.”
