STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Noticeable Neutrals

February 25th, 2016 at 2:07am

In the wintertime, it seems like people are wearing neutrals as far as the eye can see. It feels inappropriate to wear bright, fun colors amidst the general gray aura that comes with winter weather, but this can very easily lead to boring outfits. Thankfully, color isn’t the only quality of an outfit that we have to work with. Neutrals can switch from boring to stylish just by playing with different fabrics, patterns, and styles. Thankfully, this Fashionista shows us how.

This Fashionista takes a basic outfit filled with neutrals, but she spices things up to keep her outfit trendy and interesting. She pairs her basic black long sleeve T-shirt with a long, grid patterned sweater cape to keep her warm and take the outfit to the next level. Her long, tasseled necklace, slightly ripped jeans and leather ankle boots keep the neutral theme, while also maintaining a look casual enough for everyday wear. This outfit is versatile enough to wear to class, brunch with your girlfriends or even tailgating when football rolls back around.

The neutrality of the outfit also makes it completely versatile. All aspects of the outfit can be paired with other pieces, both neutral and colored, to create a totally different outfit. For example, this Fashionista’s patterned sweater could even be worn with black pants, heels and a red lip for a night out.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “My long sleeve black T-shirt is one part of my closet that I can’t live without. It matches almost everything. It’s really important to have those classic, neutral pieces to supplement the more unique pieces in your closet.”
