As if it were an ace, fashion combinations in neutral colors always turn out to be a wise hit. And it is that, inevitably, these allude to simplicity, sophistication and minimalist elegance, qualities that make them a wild card, ideal at all times.
For this reason, breaking through the colorful and traditional forecast of the season, this summer 2021 raw tones return as the infallible and coolest proposal, not only for the season, but also to build a timeless wardrobe. Of course, the key to wearing it like the it girls who know the most about fashion is in these simple tips.
Bet on prints and textures
Undoubtedly, the infallible secret to wear a look in neutral colors, especially in monocolor, is to play with the type of prints and fabrics of each garment. A detail that, although it seems hardly noticeable at first glance, gives a different and very special touch to each outfit.
Try choosing fabrics with some embossing, embroidery and brocade -simple or complex work wonders-, fabrics with special weaves or even prints that mix subtle variations of the color you have chosen to wear. So don't hesitate and dare to play with each texture.
Add statement pieces
Whether you opt for garments in neutral colors that have special details, cuts and silhouettes or you prefer to take it to another level, through jewelry or accessories, statement pieces have the spark of originality you need to highlight your outfit.
This is a trick that always comes in handy to give each combination a much more fun but equally sophisticated touch, and even to subtract a few years from your appearance through your clothing.
Don't forget the touches of color
If you are still reluctant to give full rein to combinations that only play with multiple neutral tones or go completely monochrome, you can always resort to small pops of color. Of course, the secret to achieve this without breaking with the simple essence that distinguishes raw colors is to include colorful accents in pastel or low-intensity tones.
But, if your thing is to use much more vivid accents, then bet on including them as accessories, jewelry or in the middle of small prints that also take up sober colors.
Opt for quality parts
Since neutral colors are the best allies to build an exceptionally sophisticated wardrobe, it is best to invest in pieces of high quality and durability. Thus, not only will they elevate your look to the maximum, they will also be ideal for reusing and adapting each year and, even, with a little —or quite a bit— of expertise, adjusting them to each season with total mastery.
We recommend that you opt especially for those basic and simple pieces such as white button-down shirts, blazers, dress pants and a nice dress, all in a classic format.
