We all need a little peace and calm in our wardrobes to escape the calamity of our everyday lives. While taking on a uniform and going minimal has become a style choice for many fashion lovers, some might find a muted wardrobe a little harrowing when trying to express themselves through what they wear.
So, fret not – here are five ways you can take on the neutral tonal-wear trend that blends a more relaxed wardrobe with all the fun of your already-existing pieces.
Skin deep
Just because you love a certain colour doesn’t mean you can wear it. For fair skin tones you want to avoid pale tones or at least mix them with greys and beige to avoid looking washed out. The darker or more tanned your skin tone is, the more options you have when playing with different colours.
Don’t stick to one colour
An outfit comprising the same tone can be very boring and one-dimensional. Play around with different hues, or better yet, use different colours that complement each other to make a statement.
Accessorise your heart out
Another great way to make sure you won’t be boring in beige is to add pops of colour. If you’ve gone with paler tones or a monochromatic ensemble, spice up your look with a contrasting colour through your accessories.
Play with textures
A tonal wardrobe doesn’t have to be bland – mix up different types of fabrics in your ensemble to create a visually appealing look. Combine unexpected fabrics such as silks and cottons with leather, knitwear or fur.
